About

Julian grew up in Boise, Idaho and was introduced to the outdoors at a very young age when he was put on skis at the age of two years old. He has a bachelor’s degree from Colorado Mesa University. During his time in Colorado, Julian found a real love for desert climbing, alpine climbing, ice climbing, and chasing the weird side of adventure. In his free time, he like to draw, sew gear, and annoy the people around him with his lack of tin whistle skills.
