Leif Gasch

Certified Climbing Coach

With 30 years of climbing experience, Leif brings a deep understanding of both the sport and the training methodologies that drive peak performance. Originally working as a carpenter and electrician, he transitioned into coaching and climbing training full-time over the past decade.

Leif has always balanced high-level climbing performance with the demands of a full-time career. His training philosophy emphasizes strategic planning, rest, and recovery as critical components—just as important as the exercises and stimuli themselves. This thoughtful approach has helped him climb 5.14b routes and boulder V12.

Throughout his career, Leif has had the opportunity to train with some of the top experts in the field, continually expanding his knowledge in training science, anatomy, and climbing-specific performance.

As a certified Performance Climbing Coach instructor, Leif is dedicated to helping athletes of all levels push their limits and climb stronger than ever.
