Private Lessons With Haley
Haley discovered her passion for climbing in 2018 at the beloved Crux Climbing Center. While pursuing her Bachelor’s in Psychology, Haley longed for late night climbing sessions after long days of work and studies. Soon after beginning her enlightening journey into the climbing community, Haley began working and instructing with Crux through youth programs as well as rock climbing basics and top rope belay classes. Haley welcomes new climbers looking to understand movement on the wall, boulderers looking to learn the ropes (literally), all the way to seasoned climbers looking to dial in advanced techniques and finally send their outdoor project. Haley fosters a safe space of learning, failure, and the magic of climbing to all ages and abilities. Additionally, Haley strongly believes that the techniques you learn during climbing are not just physical, but can be mental, emotional, and for some, spiritual. Haley offers an opportunity to learn how mindfulness, patience, and breathwork can be beneficial to any climber, both on and off the wall in our hectic day to day lives. Haley is looking forward to working with you, and can’t wait to spread the love and joy of climbing! If you would like to book a private lesson, please email: haleymuse@gmail.com for details.
Haley is available for adaptive climbing private lessons as well!

Private Lessons with Michael
Michael has been climbing since 2016 when he first set foot in a bouldering gym and immediately was hooked. Loving the marriage of mental and physical challenge, he knew this was where he belonged. After a couple of years Michael decided to take this passion for climbing and bring it together with his desire to educate those around him, sparking his decision to leave the food service industry and jump headfirst into the world of climbing gyms and instruction. Fast forward four years and Michael is currently a certified Single Pitch Instructor through the American Mountain Guide Association; as well as a Climbing Wall Instructor Provider through the Climbing Wall Association! Michaels lessons are geared towards those who are interested in learning some of the more technical aspects of climbing. Think less “How to belay” and more “How to be the best belayer”.

Private Lessons With Jennings
Jennings has been climbing for over five years now after getting his start at Baylor University. Though he began primarily interested in bouldering, he soon after moved to ropes and fell even deeper in love with the sport. In August 2021, he got his Climbing Wall Instructor certification and discovered a whole new aspect of climbing that he loves with equal alacrity: teaching. From people who only just learned what bouldering is to solid 5.10 climbers looking to boost their top rope or lead confidence, Jennings teaches the need to know fundamentals to get someone started or the subtler techniques to help a strong climber overcome their plateau. He’s comfortable with one-on-one teaching and coaching, or equipping small groups with the instruction they need to realize their climbing ambitions.

He has been a professional routesetter for five years, the last two of which have been at Crux. For climbers who are looking to further their ability to understand and execute technical climbing at a high level, Eric’s coaching would be very appropriate.

Private Lessons with Dakota
I started climbing in 2020 and instantly fell in love with it. I fell in love with learning all the techniques and the mental battle that comes with projecting a boulder or sport route. I am a big proponent of technique is just as if not more important. I started coaching with the rec team and wanted to move to smaller groups and one on one to really help climbers hone in their skills and capabilities. From bouldering to sport climbing I am committed to helping you achieve any goals you have in mind. Whether it is getting your first v0 or v7, or if it’s your first 5.11 or your first time getting on the ropes I am here to assist with it all!
