Touchstone Climbing
Eric discovered climbing in 2011 while lifting weights with the Henry Rollins crowd at the Sacramento State fitness facility. He noticed the gangly Ian Mackaye kids having a bunch of fun on the climbing wall and realized he had found his sport. After completing his BA in Photography, he moved to San Francisco and landed a job running the youth after-school programs at Dogpatch Boulders. Eric has since left Dogpatch to help manage facilities projects across all of our gyms, including the ones yet to be built. In his life outside of the gym, Eric enjoys black coffee, black beers, black metal, blank slabs, and photographing stuff just off the highway near the 76 station, that you pass on your way home from work.
