Climbers

Landers Gaydosh is a younger climber who started at the age of three in a family-owned gym that his father worked at in Fayetteville, North Carolina. Landers family moved to the Asheville, NC area where Landers would find his love for climbing outdoors. Landers spent most of his time bouldering and trad climbing at Rumbling Bald and on Looking Glass Rock in the Pisgah National Forest. Currently he is based out of the Salt Lake, Utah area where he has excelled in all disciplines of climbing. At the age of 12 he became a world champion in ice climbing and has won multiple USA Climbing youth national championships in sport climbing. In the summer of 2025 he participated in the IFSC Youth World Championships in bouldering, placing fifth. Some of his notable outdoor ascents are freeing Moonlight Buttress (E6) at the age of 13, The Big Smile (8c) and Transience (8B+).

In June 2026 Laura became the second woman, after Barbara Zangerl, to complete the The Alpine Trilogy with her ascent of Des Kaisers neue Kleider (8b+).
