Hailey Dietz
TCC ASSISTANT MANAGER
Hi! My name’s Alex and I’ve been climbing for a little over 6 years. I’m an avid outdoor climber and route developer as well as the manager here at The Climbing Center. I love coaching because I get to share my knowledge and passion for climbing and help my students enjoy it to the maximum extent. Beyond climbing, I’m a sponsored whitewater athelete and a freshman in Mechanical Engineering at UTK. I can’t wait to continue my coaching career through the YCC.
Hello friends! I’m Hailey, a passionate climber, coach, route-setter, and mom! I’ve been climbing for over three years, with experience in bouldering, sport climbing, both indoor and out all over the country! My background is in early childhood education. When I’m not climbing, you can find me crocheting, cooking or having a dance party with my little girl! My goal is to help every climber feel strong, capable, and excited to grow while having a ton of fun along the way!
