Kris became a student of movement by watching gymnasts train at a facility near the neighborhood where he grew up. He saved his own money, took a class, and in a short time, was teaching tumbling classes and coaching men’s gymnastics. In 1994, Kris found rock climbing, and after a decade as a trad climber, and a short break from climbing, discovered the joy of the gymnastic movement that is sport climbing and bouldering. To make up for the time away from the sport, at age 33, Kris began to get serious about training for climbing. At 40, he climbed his first 5.14, and at 44, his first V11, both of which are grades that seemed mythical when he first began climbing. He doesn’t believe that the progression will end there.
Seeing his success, Kris’s friends asked for training plans. Then readers of the blog asked for training plans. Now he’s written plans for thousands of climbers all over the world, and gets just as much satisfaction from their successes as he does his own.
