Meet the CRCC E-Board

ic373@cornell.edu

Hi there! My name is Isla and I’m a junior studying community food systems. I started climbing the summer before college back home at the Seattle Bouldering Project and now I teach B rock and have started getting into outdoor climbing with CRCC. Outside of school, I’m a coordinator at Anabel’s Grocery and enjoy adventuring on my bike, running, and cooking for friends. Can’t wait to climb with you all!

Hello, I’m Anna and I am a sophomore at CALS studying Environment & Sustainability with a focus on ecology and public policy. I have been climbing as much as I could and when I could since middle school, and now teach rock climbing and tree climbing for COE. I do research at the Hedrick Lab and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and am involved in many of the environmental, naturalist, and climate groups on campus. I love to meet new people and belay folks at the gym, so say hello if you’d like to chat, climb, or grab coffee!

Hi all! My name is Madison and I’m a junior studying Computer Science and Linguistics. I started climbing my freshman year (at Lindseth) and have been hooked ever since. I love climbing outside, especially trying hard on bolts and adventuring up multipitch trad climbs. Outside of CRCC, I work as a czar at Lindseth, teach BROCK, and ski for the club nordic team. I’m looking forward to exploring more outdoor climbing with the CRCC community this semester and beyond!

Hi, my name is Luke Kotsides and I am a sophomore studying biological engineering through CALS. I have been climbing for about one year now. I can’t wait to climb with and see you all at 6am practices.

Hi! My name is Sydney, and I have been climbing for nearly half of my life (which is crazy to realize!). Though I began on the comp circuit as a Team kid back in 2016, I now climb avidly just for fun and love heading outdoors to send whenever the chance arises. I recently began setting for Lindseth, so if you ever have comments or complaints about new sets, I'm all ears. When you inevitably see me around the gym, please say hi! I'm always stoked to lend a belay :)

Hi! My name is Florence and I’m a sophomore studying physics. I’ve been climbing since middle school and during the summer I coach my old youth team in New Haven. In Ithaca, I teach B-rock, coach at Cayuga Climbs, and help out with CRCC practices. Off the wall, I love science fiction and fantasy. On the wall, I love Moonboarding and overhung boulders. Let’s go 6:00AM crowd!

Hello everyone! My name is Luke and I'm from the NYC metropolitan area. I am one of the Training Co-Chairs for practices and hope to see you there, bright and early! I am a junior studying English and began rock climbing when I arrived at Cornell. Outside of CRCC, I've instructed backpacking PE classes and other outdoor education programs. There's a great community here and I look forward to meeting anyone who is a part of it.

Hello! My name is Tyson and I’m a sophomore studying Mechanical Engineering. I started climbing in high school and was a team kid for a couple years. I now routeset and teach pe classes at Lindseth and spend most of my free time climbing. Outside of CRCC I am an Outdoor Odyssey guide, TA, and part of the Meinig Scholars leadership program. Can’t wait to see y’all at the wall!

Hi! My name is Xavier, and I’m a sophomore studying Industrial and Labor Relations. I started climbing during my freshman year, and currently teach B-Rock classes for COE. Outside of CRCC, I am an Outdoor Odyssey guide, write for the Cornell Sun, compete for our speech and MUN teams, and work for Cornell Athletics in the broadcast booth. I’m stoked to meet you all — come say hi if you ever see me around campus or at the wall!

abh226@cornell.edu

Hello! I’m Ana, a senior studying Biology and Oceanography. I climbed a little bit my last year of high school but I really got into it my first year of college when the climbing wall became my safe space. When I’m not at the climbing gym, either on the wall or working behind the desk you can find me doing research in one of the labs on campus, making stuff in the machine shop or the maker lab, or sometimes racing canoes with the Cornell Outing Club. Welcome to CRCC and let’s go on some adventures together!

Hi I’m Sebi! I’m a senior from Mt. Kisco NY, and I’m currently studying Civil Engineering. I’ve been climbing since I was in high school, and I am the gear chair for CRCC. Besides rock climbing, I like running, cycling, and reading. I am excited to travel with CRCC to new places and meet more climbers!

Hi! My name is Andrew and I'm a senior studying Electrical and Computer Engineering! I've been climbing for just over two years now, and I'm super excited for all of the activities that CRCC has planned this year! Outside of CRCC, I teach sport lead climbing and IORC and was also one of the rock site coordinators for Outdoor Odyssey!

lth26@cornell.edu

Hi! My name is Lyndon. I’m a senior from Ithaca and I’m double majoring in math and chemistry. I’ve always loved the outdoors and have been hiking, backpacking, and nordic skiing since as long as I remember. I started climbing just last summer and have really enjoyed the community and opportunities it has given me. I really hope to help this community grow as part of the CRCC e-board. I look forward to meeting everyone!

gs762@cornell.edu

I'm Gurpartap Singh but I also go by the name Paul. I am a junior at the Nolan School of Hotel Administration. I am from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania so I am by default a Steelers fan. Outside of climbing, I enjoy exploring different cultures through food, a huge motorsports fan along with car enthusiast in general, and I love napping, even though I don't sleep much. One goal I have as a CRCC eboard member is to increase the community outreach events that the club partakes in.

I’m Abby :) I am a senior physics student who loves stemming climbs. I also enjoy skiing, soccer, and painting! I am excited to bring you some awesome merch this year!!

Believing that experience is the best way to learn, Andrew likes to jump in feet first. He has been backpacking since he couldn't carry a helpful load and started to experience the snow bundled in a pulk behind his parents. While studying Geological Sciences at University of Oregon, he fell in love with rock climbing and has worked in challenge course and industrial rope access settings so that he can look out on beautiful scenery with great people ever since.
