ZION – Head Setter, Assistant Coach

Zion began climbing in 2013 as a way to meet new people and explore the great outdoors. A classic Warehouse climber, Zion migrated over to Cirque when it opened its doors in 2016. Zion applies his skill and creativity as both a Bouldering and Ropes Setter, and offers positivity and problem solving to his other roles as Class Instructor and Desk Staff. His kindness and humility bring empathy to his work that is felt by all. Personally, Zion hopes to send his first outdoor V13 soon and continue to improve as an indoor setter. On the other side of the coin from Shane, Zion attests that being a tall climber is actually a disadvantage.

SAM – Shift Manager, Routesetter

Sam’s climbing journey began with friends in 2018 while pursuing a desire to lead a more active lifestyle. He has a passion for pushing his own limits, physically and mentally, and loves encouraging friends – locally and around the world – to conquer their battles with projects in the same way. Cirque became a quick second home to Sam, and he works tirelessly to keep that culture and foster familiarity as a Setter, Instructor, and Desk Staff, striving to be his best and build up the best in those around him. His care and loyalty show in every task he undertakes, big or small, and he calmly meets everything and everyone on equal ground. As he continues to grow into his various roles at Cirque, Sam also plans to continue touring Washington with his dog, Wrigley, and eternally hopes for the Mariners to…well… you know.

LAUREN – Routesetter

Lauren (she/her) dabbled in climbing as a youngster back home in British Columbia, but didn’t really get started until February, 2017 – just two months after Cirque opened its doors! She began working here just over a year later and started setting in 2019. Climbing & setting has been a journey of liberation for her, physically, mentally, and creatively. More than anything, she loves the collaboration that surrounds our community, that spirit which breaks down barriers between otherwise-strangers, giving us all a home-space when we tackle sends together. Outside the gym, her life revolves around keeping food on the table for her 13-year old tuxedo cat, Nara.

KEEVA – Routesetter

Keeva began climbing at Warehouse Rock Gym in 2015, smoothly becoming part of the Cirque Setting team at its opening. She enjoys the flow and meditative practice of climbing, constantly seeking to share that joy and serenity through setting and ARC, passing on the lessons she has learned. Overall, Keeva’s well-rounded style sparks creativity in others, engaging the physical and mental aspects of climbing. Her technical experience includes indoor and outdoor climbing across North America, including trad, sport, and bouldering. Outside Cirque, Keeva is also an aerialist, an outdoor preschool instructor, an avid mushroom forager, and happy owner of a pet dog and rat.
