Colton Edson is a 17-year-old local Sonoma County climber who started climbing at Vertex Climbing Center and quickly fell in love with the sport. Joining Team Vertex right away, he has progressed from a scrawny kid with no technique to a sponsored athlete aspiring to travel the world. In his relatively brief climbing career, Colton has traveled to Switzerland and all around the western United States.
Colton will show us highlights of his journeys over the last four years along the Sonoma Coast, Bishop, Joe’s Valley, Switzerland and more. Colton will tell us of his upbringing and his outdoor lifestyle influences. He tracks the progression from first time climber to athlete and all the hardships and setbacks he has faced along the way as well as the wonderful support the local Sonoma County climbing community has played in his life. Colton is a sponsored athlete for Five Ten, Asana Climbing and Giddy Organics.
