Francesco (he/him) – FRANZ

Northern California Crew Leader

Outdoor and mountain enthusiast since I was a kid. I randomly jumped into a climbing clinic when I was 20, and it was love at first sight! At some point in my climbing journey, I translated my passion into a job as a routesetter. Now at the threshold of more than 20 years of rock climbing, competitions, training, and routesetting, I am always committed to improving myself, working every day to continue learning the tricks and secrets of this beautiful art, and to proposing new movement patterns to climbers.
