“Our mission, through the sport of climbing, is to help you elevate your life, rise above your crux and inspire the world to ascend”
Meet Our Team...
Chris and Catherine Tansey met in 2011 while climbing. They got married in 2013 and spent their honeymoon on the face of Half Dome in Yosemite National Park. Together they have two daughters, Callie and Clara who both enjoy climbing as much as their parents. Chris has climbed everywhere from the local crags to the walls of Yosemite. Chris has 15 years of experience in youth ministry which has a significant influence on his love for the community here at Gecko. His wife Catherine is a mental health professional, and her input has crafted a welcoming and inclusive environment here at the gym. Together, they have been dreaming of Gecko since 2019, and are dedicated to maintaining it as a North Phoenix climbing center.
