Gavin Heverly
Gavin's number one passion is rock climbing, with riding his track bike, cooking and eating vegan food, and music all coming in a close second. He has years of experience in the outdoor industry and in working and managing climbing facilities. He has spent a good part of his professional career in climbing gyms as an instructor, a route-setter, and an all around funny guy. Gavin is always willing to give beta on a climb, and always turning heads when screaming his way through a crux.
Favorite Boulder Problems: Genesis, V3, Horse Pens 40, AL./Something From Nothing, V12 at Great Barrington, MA

Matt McCormick
Like most anyone who climbs, I have always been interested in ways to improve my performance on the rock, ice and mixed terrain. With a degree in Physical Education and a strong background in exercise physiology, I have naturally taken my knowledge of physical training and applied it to my training for climbing. Over the last several years I have used my knowledge and research to create many training programs for myself and friends which have seen tremendous results. I would love to help you create a program to achieve your goals! Please contact me via email at matty.mccormickatgmail.com and I will send you a list of questions about your goals. From there I will create a program to help you meet your goals and will be available for further correspondence. I look forward to working with you!
Chris Mireault
Chris started climbing in 2007 and has become addicted ever since. Always psyched and ready for anything and everything that involves climbing. His drive to keep up with the latest news, books and blogs about climbing has developed his ability to pay close attention to training ideas & principles of climbing. “I really like training for
climbing, almost as much as I like climbing itself. It's another passion for me in itself.” He's the type of guy you find hanging out in the gym who won't mind sharing training tips, techniques, and beta. You might even catch him filming himself and others on the wall.
Chris grew up with sports like gymnastics, bodybuilding and martial arts and has always had a strong passion in information technologies and health sciences. He is bringing everything he has to the table today to our world of climbing, all while trying to start a family with his beautiful wife, Chakriya. He keeps up with his “night” job of
Process Engineering, doing videography on the side and somehow mysteriously still finds time to social network on facebook and
twitter.
If that wasn't enough, Chris has also has been showcasing some of the BRG's routes by filming his video series, “Problem of the Week.”
“It's great to be part of the team!”
Kaleigh Bush
Some dude wrote the story of my life and made a mockery of it in Avenue Q: "What do you do with a BA in English / What is my life going to be? / Four years of college and plenty of knowledge / Have earned me this useless degree." So, with that said, I've spent the past three years juggling two chief priorities: climbing and college. Aside from diligently anticipating my BA in English Literature from the University of Florida in Gainesville which is also my hometown, I spend the bulk of my spare time (and money) traveling for the sake of visiting far-away friends and scoping out potential climbing destinations. During the work week when I'm not knee-deep in a pile of school books or training at the climbing gym, I'm cross-training, sustaining a slavish addiction to music, getting schooled by chess mavens in their collective pursuit to teach me how to play the most perennial board game ever invented, or crafting lattes at my day job as a barista.
