I'm Zach Galla and I'm a competitivie rockclimber. Rockclimbing has been my passion and my sport for 10 years. I'm a 17 years old Junior attending North Gwinnett High School. My love for this sport all began when I attended a Birthday Party at Adrenaline climbing when I was 7. Since that day climbing has taken me all across the country to places such as Colorado Springs, Colorado, Madison, Wisconsin, and Salt Lake City, Utah just to name a few. Two years ago I competed in the Bouldering National Championship in Madison, Wisconsin and placed 3rd and earned a spot on the US National Team and an invitation to compete in Arco, Italy at the Youth World Championship. Despite receiving this invitation, I was not able to compete because I sustained a finger injury while training the for the Rope National Championship. Disappointed, I was forced to take a break from climbing and missed my opportunity to compete in Arco, Italy. This year I am very excited that I was able to earn a spot on the US Team in both Sport (Ropes), Bouldering and Combined which is a seperate Category for those who placed high enough in all 3 disciplines, Bouldering, Sport and Speed. This is an experience of a lifetime that I am beyond stoked to have qualified for. While I am super excited to represent the United States in Innsbruck, Austria August 30-September 11, I realize the trip will be very expensive. I am raising funds to off-set travel expenses, lodging, meals and training camp. Thank you for your consideration and please help spread the word!
