Ross’s journey began in his backyard, climbing an 80-foot redwood tree. For him, climbing and photography offer a unique way to learn and grow, both mentally and physically. From refining movement to exploring patterns of focus, each project offers a new layer of discovery.
With over a decade of competitive experience, Ross has represented the USA at the highest levels, including the World Cup circuit. His passion for climbing took him from UCLA to the University of Utah, where he trained at the national center while studying psychology and neuroscience. Each challenge, from local competitions to the global stage, deepens his commitment to growth and exploration.
