Who We Are

 
Welcome to Gearonimo Sports, where adventure is a lifestyle and gear is our passion! We’re not just a bunch of hard-working outdoor enthusiasts—we’re a family that thrives on the adrenaline of a good powder day, the rush of  clipping bolts on a  new climbing route, and the thrill of coasting down singletrack on a mountain bike. If it involves a mountain, a trail, a river, or snow, you can bet we’ve tried it—and loved every minute of it!


At Gearonimo Sports, we like to say that we “live the gear.” And we mean it! Our team of gear junkies (otherwise known as employees) are always ready to dive headfirst into any outdoor sport, usually after a strong cup of coffee and a quick debate over which ski wax is superior or how much suspension is really necessary for that downhill trail.


We’re proud to have a crew that’s as enthusiastic about the outdoors as our customers are. Whether it's skiing, snowboarding, mountain biking, climbing, kayaking, or camping, we dabble in it all. Scratch that—we don’t just dabble, we dive headfirst and come up smiling (most of the time).

The Gearonimo Crew

Pete Youngwerth

 

Known to all as the Master and Commander, Pete doesn’t just sail through life—he charges headfirst into the wild. When Pete hits the mountains, he’s not there for a casual stroll; he’s there to conquer. His passion for big mountain expeditions has taken him to the farthest reaches of the globe, from the frozen peaks of Antarctica to the rugged wilderness of Russia and the towering summits of South America. If there’s a mountain worth climbing, Pete’s either been there or has it marked on his map.

But Pete’s not just about conquering summits—he’s a man of many talents. When he’s not hanging off a cliff or navigating icy crevasses, he’s tending to his squirrel ranch (yes, you read that right) and embracing his inner lumberjack. His life is a mix of high-altitude adventure and rugged, off-the-grid living. And if you’re curious about the glamorous side of expedition life—weeks at base camp, braving the elements, and yes, even pooping in buckets—Pete’s got plenty of stories to share.

So, if you’re looking for advice on big expedition climbing, or you just want to hear tales of daring exploits, survival, and the occasional squirrel mishap, swing by and have a chat with Pete. He’s the guy who lives for the extremes, with enough stories to make any adventurer’s jaw drop.

Lisa Youngwerth

When it comes to adventure, Lisa is in a league of her own. Known for her incredible feats on the slopes, she’s also a daring horseback racer who has conquered the vast landscapes of Mongolia and Patagonia. Picture this: racing across breathtaking terrains, battling the elements, and navigating rugged paths where every stride counts not just for her, but for her noble steeds as well. For Lisa, these races are not just competitions; they’re epic quests where every finish line represents a triumph over adversity—a battle fought side by side with her horse.

With a heart full of passion and a spirit that embodies perseverance, Lisa pours that same energy into her work at Gearonimo Sports. Her adventures have taught her invaluable lessons in resilience and determination, which she translates into her day-to-day responsibilities. Whether she’s helping customers find the perfect gear or sharing her latest tales from the trail, her experiences remind everyone that life is an adventure worth chasing.

Lisa’s ability to conquer massive dreams and overcome daunting challenges is infectious. She inspires those around her to reach for their own aspirations, whether that means tackling a new climbing route or gearing up for a wild kayak trip. And let’s be real—if anyone knows how to turn a tough challenge into a thrilling success story, it’s her!

So, if you’re looking for someone who embodies the spirit of adventure both in and out of the store, look no further than Lisa. She’s not just about the gear; she’s about the journey—one that’s filled with excitement, determination, and the thrill of the ride. Get ready to be inspired!


Tyler Youngwerth

When it comes to climbing, Tyler is nothing short of a powerhouse. A former world bouldering competitor, she knows the ins and outs of climbing like the back of her hand. If you’re looking to level up your skills, get stronger, or climb more efficiently, Tyler is the go-to person. But tread lightly—this isn’t just your average climbing guru. Tyler can bench press you without breaking a sweat!

Legend has it that she once pulled the Cog Railway UP Pikes Peak using nothing but her teeth, all in pursuit of a donut at the summit. Yes, you read that right—a donut! If that doesn’t illustrate her determination and strength, we don’t know what does. Her incredible feats are matched only by her unwavering passion for training and helping others achieve their personal goals.

At Gearonimo, we can’t imagine our team without Tyler. Her approach to climbing and fitness is infectious, encouraging everyone around her to push their limits and reach new heights. Whether she’s demonstrating techniques, sharing her training secrets, or simply cheering you on, she brings an energy that’s hard to find anywhere else.

So, if you’re ready to elevate your climbing game, don’t hesitate to reach out to Tyler. Just remember to bring some donuts as a peace offering—you’ll want her on your side for every challenge ahead!

Matt Edison

When he’s not slaying it on the rocks, you might just catch him lighting up the stage at the Chippendales in Las Vegas. Yes, you read that right! Matt knows how to put on a show, blending strength and charisma in a way that leaves audiences cheering for more.

While he may be a man of few words, if you ask him enough about his adventures—both on the rocks and on stage—he just might give you a little sneak peek into his life behind the curtain. So, whether you’re seeking advice on climbing techniques, gear, or just want to hear some wild stories from the stage, stop by and chat with Matt.

Miles Morosi

Blake Russelavage

Blake Russelavage

If you hear someone shout “SEND IT!” from across the canyon and then see a shirtless figure clinging to a vertical wall like a caffeinated gecko, that’s Miles Morosi—our resident rock-crushing, powder-shredding legend. Known for climbing 5.12s in sunglasses and a smirk, Miles has never met a crimp he didn’t like or a shirt he didn’t immediately remove.

In winter, he trades chalk for snow and embraces the alpine lifestyle in his signature banana hammock snowboard attire. Yes, we said banana hammock. Yes, it’s as glorious as it sounds. Whether he’s launching cliff drops with style or casually outrunning avalanches in neon swimwear, Miles brings big energy, bigger vibes, and just enough madness to keep it interesting. Miles is living the single life but interested in the female species so,

need beta on your project? Wax advice bikini or Board? A pep talk yelled from halfway up a pitch? or looking for a great night? Give him a call.  Miles is your guy. Just don’t ask him to put a shirt on—it only slows him down.

Blake Russelavage

Blake Russelavage

Blake Russelavage

 

Blake is the strong, silent type—until he drops a perfectly timed one-liner that catches you completely off guard. Loyal to the core and always steady under pressure, he’s the guy you want around when things get weird (or just need to get done right). He’s got a borderline suspicious talent for knot tying—seriously, give him a rope and he’ll do things with it that raise a few eyebrows but somehow solve the problem every time. You’ll usually spot him in his signature Melanzana, looking like he just wandered out of the mountains and straight into work… which, honestly, might not be far off.


Athen Finch

Blake Russelavage

Damian Witte

 

 Athen is the guy you want around when things inevitably go sideways. Cool under pressure and freakishly good at solving problems on the fly, he has a knack for turning “this might be bad” into “we’re totally fine” in no time. When he’s not at Gearonimo Sports, he’s probably off-grid on a camping or overland trip, chasing dirt roads and questionable decisions. Somehow, he always makes it back—with a story, a fix, and a plan for the next adventure. 

Damian Witte

Nolan Lindstrom

Damian Witte

 

  

Damian splits his time between Gearonimo Sports and the attached bouldering gym, where he sells gear and “strips and screws for a living”—and yes, he’s still way too proud of that line. Equal parts funny and charming, he can talk you into the right setup while keeping the whole shop laughing. When he’s not dialing in gear or setting routes, he’s either deep in Minecraft building something absurdly overengineered—or cruising around on a Zamboni like it’s just another perfectly normal day on the job.

Nolan Lindstrom

Nolan Lindstrom

Nolan Lindstrom

 

  

 Nolan is the guy you call when you don’t even know what to call. Need advice on snowboards? He knows it. Bike trouble? He’s on it. A mysterious noise coming from the back room? He’ll figure it out before anyone else even notices. Basically, if it exists in the world of gear, Nolan has probably touched it, fixed it, or at least has a wild story about it. Wise, handy, and just a little bit magical—he’s the team member who makes the impossible look easy… and usually makes you laugh while he does it.
