Momentum Climbing Team

Sam is 12 years old and is in 7th grade at Mountain Ridge Middle School. He loves to eat filet mignon and his favorite color is green. Sam has two brothers, Seth and Dax, and two sisters, Lauren and Zoe. He says that Dax is "the awesomest".

Sam joined Team Momentum about seven months ago. He started rock climbing because he thought it would be fun and his favorite part of climbing is taking lead falls.

Sam prefers sport climbing to bouldering and would someday like to climb in Anasazi, Mexico.

Besides rock climbing Sam loves to play guitar, ride dirt bikes, wake board, shoot airsoft guns, snowboard, watch monster trucks, and, um, blow up cars. (I'm not sure if he has actually done this last thing but I'm just writing what he told me.)

Oddly, Sam told me that, not only is Cole his best friend, but he is also Sam's pet. (Again, I just write this stuff.)

There are two people that Sam most looks up to. The first is his father and the second is Kirk Hammet, lead guitar player for Metallica.

Someday, Sam would like to be a Marine or a professional musician. No matter which one he eventually chooses, he wants to continue to rock climb.

Congratulations Sam! Thanks for being such a wonderful part of Team Momentum!
