Andres Marin - Crushing in Ouray

Home Crags are important. Our Home Crags shape us, our climbing, and our perspective.

We make connections with the natural and vertical environments around us — these worlds allow us to hone our skills further than we previously thought possible. 

Living in Ouray, Colorado Andres Marin, “can go ice climbing, running, rock climbing, and ski touring, all out my front door.” This playground of ice, rock, and snow allows Andres to push himself when training for larger objectives.
