Timon Behan - Owner

Timon Behan is the owner of Wild Walls Climbing Gym.

Joshua Hansen - General Manager

Joshua is an avid indoor and outdoor climber. He enjoys the opportunity to climb and enjoy God's wonderful creation, no matter what the venue. He has been climbing since 2002, when he discovered climbing as his newest and greatest outdoor adventure. As the leader of our Wild Walls team, he is determined to make everyone's experience the best it can be.

Todd Mires - Assistant Manager

Known for his cheery, sunny, and heartwarming disposition, Todd is one of Wild Walls most beloved employees. He is often seen walking about passing out home made cupcakes to fellow climbers. He maintains he's been climbing since the 60's, although he cannot remember specifically how he started. He spends all of his spare time falling deeper and deeper in love with climbing. Some of his specific talents in climbing are: delicate slab work, jug hauls, and assisted pull-ups.

Andrew Bower - Wall Manager/Instructor

Andrew is a climber of the self-loathing variety. His favorite weekend activity: "frostbite." Because really, who doesn't enjoy a good summit, right? The resident gear guru of Wild Walls, he ensures safety for all as wall manager and crushes poor belay technique with an iron fist of love. He also is, despite being a giant himself, the vertically-challenged-climber-advocate of Wild Walls, doing his best to keep our maniacal hold-slinging setters in line as head of routesetting.

Phil Sanders - Instructor/Coach

Phil is working on his bio.

Noah Peller - Route Setter/Instructor

Noah prides himself on the youthful exuberance he tries to bring to the gym. He enjoys road trips, puppies, beaches, free hugs, Oxford commas, and Kierkegaard. He dislikes kittens, getting a tan, and any sport that requires him to move too quickly or catch a flying object. He has also been rock climbing for “a while" and also enjoys routesetting and any boulder problem that gets him upside down or sideways.

Jeff Crawford - Route Setter

He loves people and loves climbing. Jeff has been an active climber in the greater Spokane area since the 80's. You'll often find him on some of his favorite routes at Deep Creek -- especially on cool summer mornings. He has been setting routes and climbing in competitions for over 10 years.

Matt Peller - Route Setter

Matt rarely climbs but when he does, he prefers to top rope. His personality is so magnetic he is unable to carry credit cards. He once had an awkward moment, just to see how it feels. He lives vicariously through himself. People hang on his every word, even the prepositions. When it is raining, it is because he is thinking of something sad.

Christopher Adams - Route Setter

Chris sets routes and is ridiculously good looking.

Javier Sparks - Route Setter

After years of spending time in the woods living off the land and climbing, Javi decided to move back to civilization and study the art of route setting.

Becca Braun - Holy Yoga Instructor

Becca has recently moved back to Spokane and loves the fresh new perspective God has given her through her Christian faith. Throughout her yoga practice the main thing she has learned is, "To remain in Him." She is very honored that she senses a calling to serve others though Holy Yoga. "Deep and wide is His love and daily I see this mirrored through my Holy Yoga practice!" Becca is super stoked to share this practice with others.
