  • Mandi Elliott

    Co-Founder and CEO

    Mandi started bouldering indoors in 2020 and fell in love with outdoor climbing upon moving to Las Vegas in 2022. At her day job, she advocates for the Outdoor Industry in Nevada.

    Her favorite type of rock is sandstone (obviously), and she loves a good chimney. For Mandi, climbing is about getting out with friends, getting out of her comfort zone, and trying new things.
