A South Florida Native, Christian Mendoza first experienced indoor rock climbing early in high school and never stop trying to climb on objects. His passions for living a dirtbag lifestyle took him all the way to Leadville, CO where he honed his outdoor leadership skills. Recognizing the disparity between indoor vs. outdoor climbing, Christian broke his vow of never returning home in an attempt to inspire his fellow Miamians about the benefits that a climbers lifestyle can manifest and bring them.
