Petch is certified by the AMGA as a Rock Instructor and holds his certification as a Wilderness First Responder and CPR.
I first started climbing on February 4th 2007 at Lovers Leap on a cold and windy Corrugation Corner. I have been climbing ever since. I am excited to work with Lovers Leap Guides, sharing my passion for climbing and this region of the Sierra Nevada Mountains.

Climbing and archaeology combined to provide effective ways to travel extensively throughout North America, Europe and Africa while exploring both the natural and cultural worlds.

Brady is currently a rock site manager for California Outward Bound and the General Manager of an indoor climbing gym in northern California. She is certified through the AMGA and holds Wilderness First Responder and CPR certifications.
She loves splitter cracks and backcountry routes. She has climbed desert towers, granite peaks, and classic routes throughout the western states. When she isn’t climbing she is knitting beanies for friends or blasting music while cooking good food.
The Lover’s Leap climbing area holds a special place in her heart as it was where she climbed her first multi-pitch route growing up. Working for Lover’s Leap Guides allows her to share her passion for climbing on some of the best granite in California!
