MEET THE TEAM

GENERAL MANAGER

LAURA BELLISLE

Laura started climbing in Yosemite in 2008.  It wasn't until she met Andrew that she climbed inside at Denver Bouldering Club and Earth Treks Golden, and she was hooked!

​

Her business management background means that Basecamp will be committed to providing you the best customer service possible so you can spend more time climbing!

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!
