 Dave
Dave Altman is a self-described hermit who ventures out only so often to maintain the weight room at Berkeley Ironworks and to teach outdoor classes. Dave has been climbing for as long as anyone can remember and he is a fixture at Indian Rock. His mathematical prowess is almost as well known as his strength. He can bench 240 pounds while explaining how Wiles' proof of the semistable case of Taniyama-Shimura implies Fermat's Last Theorem.

 Julia
The woman with the bouldering cat has been around Touchstone gyms since she was knee high or thereabouts, trailing brother, Ross up 12a’s with style and ease! Spotted hanging it out on the highway on really stormy days, Julia would rather boulder, kayak under the Golden Gate Bridge in HUGE swells and generally be in the sun, than sit around the house. Julia zips to work on her super sweet motorcycle. Did we mention that she climbs like a savage climbing machine? What a babe.

 Peter
Peter has only been climbing since 2004, but in three short years he's found a second home at Ironworks. "The community here is great. I feel lucky to be a part of this place." After a semester away at college in the Northwest, he returned to Berkeley to reassess his priorities and get back to climbing. His other interests include running and meditation.

 Mike
Mike has recently earned his bachelors of Applied Science in sound arts from Ex'Pression College of Digital Arts in Emeryville. Other than climbing he enjoys music and art and something to file under random things to know, Mike once won a riding law mower at a contest at Lowe's!
|
 Casey
Casey has been climbing since 2003, mainly taking breaks to study in Ireland or freak out about his library science graduate program. While he's up for most any type of climbing (don't as him to place trad gear) he always seems to end up bouldering. If you see him off the desk, he's either doing that or reading something.
