About Paige Claassen

Paige Claassen has been climbing for 14 years, since the ripe age of 9 when her parents took her to the local Estes Park climbing gym. She spent the first 8 years of her career solely in the gym, competing throughout the world in world cups and world championships. Over the past five years, Paige has transitioned to climbing outside, where she now spends her time projecting lines she finds beautiful, inspiring, and preferably slightly overhung. Her proudest accomplishments include Grand Ol Opry (5.14b) and To Bolt or Not to Be (5.14a). From June 2013 to June 2014, Paige will be traveling around the world and climbing to raise money for non profits supporting women and children.
