Take on a great work out and come experience the excitement of rock climbing in Minneapolis. It was there that I discovered the wonders of rock climbing. It has been my obsession ever since. About Me: The one thing you should know about me is, I like talking about fishing more. Favorite Climbing Area: I do enjoy the boulders of Devils Lake, WI- the crew out there is constantly establishing and sharing new climbs. About Me: Probably outside or upside down, Jianna is a believer in the yoga mat as a laboratory: a place to explore and learn.
Yoga and movement classes with Jianna pull from many movement modalities and aim to bridge the gap between traditional yoga asana and modern movement science. Most interested in things outside, she is an adventure partner, off the grid enthusiast, rookie slackliner, and climber. While I was hooked and began climbing at least a few times a month it was not until a friend gifted me a three month membership in the spring of that I started climbing several times a week. By the fall of I had worked my way on to the Minneapolis crew and was setting every chance I could get.
As a setter I got to know all of the staff and many of our members. In I approached the Minneapolis facility manager and expressed an interest in becoming an employee. After year of discussing possible roles I was hired as the second assistant facility manager. Favorite Type of Climbing: I love it all but have to say trad and sport lead are my favorite types of climbing. What I love about climbing: I love the adventure and the rush but have to say my favorite aspect of climbing is the community.
What other industry could I work in where my best friends are my coworkers and customers? Other Interests: When I am not climbing you can usually find me enjoying live music somewhere. The mosh pit at First Ave is a close second to taking whippers in my life of thrills! Oh, and I fancy myself an aspiring home brewer. Climbing music and beer, who could ask for more? Interesting Facts: As a kid I traveled extensively throughout the south west with my parents including California, Arizona, Utah and Nevada.
