Phil Wortmann
Colorado Springs boasts a high quality of life and I have benefited from that greatly as a person and a climber. I also believe the Pikes Peak region offers the greatest diversity of climbing opportunities in the state and I aim to help people from all backgrounds experience and appreciate their local public lands.

Sam Jones
I've been living, working and climbing in The Springs for the last 15 years. I have a passion for new routing and you'll rarely catch me climbing anywhere but Old Stage and The Peak. My mission with the PPCA is to replace the aging hardware in The Springs area with modern proven safe stainless anchors.

Jack Hebert
I have lived in Colorado Springs for over 20 years. I am invested in creating a welcoming environment, not only in the climbing community, but in the Colorado Springs outdoor community as a whole. Education is my passion, and I look forward to fostering a healthy relationship between the youth and the natural wonders that surround us.

Tyler Hays
I was born and raised in Colorado Springs and am fortunate to have a father who introduced me to climbing at a young age. It is now part of who I am. My hope is to give back to the natural spaces and community that I have benefited from. Colorado Springs and the surrounding hills are a magical place, and I to want promote its sustainable use so that more can experience wild nature in a positive light.​

Todd Stephan
Todd enjoys the outdoors, all things climbing, and just plain being engulfed in the gnar. From being raised in rural Indiana running around in the woods, to eighteen years in the PNW Cascades mountains, and now settling in Colorado Springs; Todd has always loved spending time outdoors with friends. He says, joining the PPCA is a great way for him to give back to the community that has taught him so much, and make friends while promoting climbing in the Springs and surrounding areas.

YOU
The PPCA is run by a small group of volunteers. We are looking to expand that group. If you are interested in joining us, please submit an application.

Conner Borkowski
I'm relatively new to The Springs and excited to bring my experience as a climber, guide, and community builder to this community. My goal with PPCA is to help build the community in away that makes it welcoming and sustainable for years to come. I still have a lot to explore and I am always excited to share some stories, learn, and get a climb in.
