RICHELLE HEPLER
Houston, Texas
I am primarily a boulderer/sport climber and I have an extensive background in gymnastics. I have climbed at Enchanted Rock several times in last 2 years. I have also climbed in Mexico, Hueco Tanks, Oklahoma, Austin and Alabama.
I am currently enrolled in a chemical engineering BS degree at the University of Houston. I work at Outdoor Adventure supervising the indoor rock climbing wall.
I would like to see the development of more sport climbs at Enchanted Rock. I believe once a route has bolts on it the route should have enough bolts so that it is safe to lead unless the route can be protected by traditional means.
