Nathan Holmes

I began climbing in the early 1990’s at the Red River Gorge while attending University of Kentucky’s College of Architecture. During my many years of climbing, I’ve had the opportunity to climb throughout the United States and So ILL still remains one of my favorite crags. I enjoys many styles of climbing, from a leisurely day of top-roping to an intense day leading multi-pitch trad. My passion for climbing goes beyond personal climbing outings; I’m a Managing Partner at Vertical eXcape Climbing Center in Evansville, IN as well as the Access Funds’ Regional Coordinator for Illinois, Indiana, and western Kentucky.  I live in Henderson, KY with my wonderful wife Sabrina and our two young children.
