MEET THE TEAM
CLIMBING MANAGER ANDREW BELLISLE
Andrew loves climbing–from bouldering to big walling and everything in between. He's enjoyed climbing in the Hills and getting to know the climbing community here.

His route setting skills will elevate Basecamp's ability to reach climbers of all skill levels. Andrew carefully chose every hold we will have in the gym and is pumped to bring a variety of styles to Basecamp!
