About James deMalignon
Spiderman has nothing on this guy. It’s one thing to watch rock climbing, another thing altogether to make it look like a walk in the park. By the time you are done watching James deMalignon climb up a rockface, you’ll think, okay, I can do that. After you try it yourself, you’ll check his hands and feet for sticky tape. We had always presumed climbing was for thrill junkies and daredevils (have you seen those kooks who sleep on ledges?!), but as it turns out, climbing is a precise and diligent art involving a combination of skill, strength, and grace under pressure. James and Tjader (or “Tjames and Tjader”, as we affectionately call our team of expert climbing gurus) have been climbing for nearly two decades and bring a repertoire of tips and coaching skills suitable for first timers or seasoned scramblers. We especially like how “bombproof” (we love the climbing lingo, too) they are about safety, which made our first attempts at climbing feel more fun than frightening.

About Tjader Harris
 
This is our other climbing guy, Tjader Harris. He’s very camera shy and won’t facilitate a picture of him climbing. (he’s astoundingly fit and is actually always covering up)
