ANGIE PAYNE
Originally from Cincinnati, Ohio, Angie Payne started climbing when
she was 11. Thirteen years later, she is studying for vet school at
University of Colorado, Boulder. Between classes, she's pulled off
impressive sends of hard boulder problems-Midnight Lightning (V8),
European Human Being (V12) and Black Ice (V10), to name a
few.
Angie counts pretzels, caffeine and her dog Jake among her main
interests. She hopes to someday get a banjo and volunteer as a
veterinarian for the Iditarod dog race in Alaska (but not
necessarily at the same time).
Please check back regularly for additional updates.

TIFFANY HENSLEY
Tiffany Hensley started climbing at the age of 8 in a gym in Santa
Cruz, California. For the past decade, she has competed in
bouldering championships, sport climbing competitions, and speed
climbing, which has taken her all around the world. She's equally
content wandering around outside and scampering up hard boulder
problems, frequently barefoot.
Having just graduated from school, Tiffany has been traveling
and climbing "studying art forms, studying people, and reading
bizarre classics." She is a prolific writer and student of
life.

KILLIAN FISCHHUBER
Scaling some of the world's most challenging cliff faces,
Austrian freeclimbing star Kilian Fischhuber famously tackled
Action Directe, a 9a-rated natural boulder formation in
Germany.
Having joined the Austrian Alpine Club in 1995, Kilian has since
made his way up to the very top of his sport taking the Boulder
World Cup most recently in 2010. He was also World Cup winner in
2005, 2007, 2008 and 2009 - marking him out as a force to be
reckoned with in the sport.
Before reaching these dizzy heights, however, Kilian became
hooked on climbing at the age of 12 and was a member of the
Austrian national youth climbing team. He was also named Boulder
Rock Master in 2005, 2008 and 2009.

ANNA STOHR
As the 2012 World Cup competition season ramps up, elite
climbers around the world are trading in crashpads and sunshine for
sponsored jerseys and plastic training. Anna Stöhr, the Austrian
phenom who finished second overall in 2010's World Cup bouldering
series, is no different. As a climber sponsored by the Austrian
army, and girlfriend of strongman Kilian Fischhuber, Stöhr trains
daily at a military sports center in Innsbruck, Austria, with some
of the best climbers in the world.
