Finding mentors can be challenging. We help you build meaningful relationships with pros and peers, giving you the confidence and skills to pursue your dreams within a supportive community.

Hey! I’m Tim, the founder of ShayrdAir - a Denver-based climbing platform that offers mentorship programs led by professional climbers.

A bit about our company and me: While living in New York City, I invited friends to see "Free Solo," a newly released documentary about pro climber Alex Honnold's ropeless climb of "El Cap" in Yosemite.

After seeing the film, I saw it two more times in theaters. It captivated me, and from then on, I wanted to learn how to climb, but I had no idea where to start.

Through a fortunate turn of events, I met Jordan Cannon, a pro climber who, like Alex, is well-known for climbing in Yosemite. After an insightful conversation over lunch, Jordan agreed to become my climbing mentor.

Since Jordan lives out of his van most of the year, we had to get creative and use a combination of videos, Zoom calls, and in-person lessons to keep me moving in the right direction. The more we worked together, the more I thought other climbers would want to have a similar experience. From that intuition, I founded ShayrdAir.

Whether you're new to climbing and don't know where to start, or you've always dreamed of sending 5.14 or climbing a big wall, we're here to help - designing digital and in-person programs that offer mentorship from pros, clinics with our mountain guide partners, and a community of peers you can rely on for years to come.
