Eric Zschiesche


Quick Info

From USA 🇺🇸
Date of birth 1960
Age between 65 and 66 years old
Gender Male
Climbing
Hardest Boulder (Worked) 7C

Eric has been described by John Sherman as

Just one tendon, one hundred twenty-three pounds fully clothed and five-foot-ten inches tall who was ahead of his time with the grunge homeless look.

Eric established most of the hard and tall boulders in Moore’s Wall NC and many hard highball boulders and top-rope problems at Devil's Lake WI. He continues to climb hard, even after suffering a heart attack he recently repeated Tiny (V11) at Moon Rock in Little Cottonwood Canyon, UT at 65 yrs of age.

When not climbing rocks he is an artist, or is that vice versa?
