Hello, my name is Morgan and I am the General Manager of Gravity Vault Flemington and Lehigh Valley gyms.
I found the sport of rock climbing in 2005 when my college friend wanted to try the sport at this little tiny hole in the wall gym in New York City. My first harness was a Black Diamond harness and a pair of MadRock shoes! My very first trip climbing outdoors was in Red Rocks and Utah in 2015 and it was epic! It was the first time I tried crack climbing!
I started working in the industry in 2016 working part time at the Gravity Vault Middletown gym where I taught classes, birthday parties and other programs until I worked up to assistant manager. Then I went on to be the operations manager at Reach Climbing & Fitness before I found my way back to the Gravity Vault community!!
I love how it doesn’t matter if you have met a climber once or fifty times, you are already their friend. The climbing community is so supportive and genuine and it is what makes me continue to be a part of it both working and climbing. Outside of the world of climbing I also enjoy being creative, whether it's dabbling in pottery, stained glass, glass blowing, stamp carving, making jewelry, basically I walk into a craft store and already have a new hobby. With a master’s in zoology I also have an obsession with nature and animals. I love to go birding or just be outside. I am also building a zoo out of Lego! I also enjoy live music and collecting records. Next time you see me in the gym feel free to share your music recommendations with me!!
Favorite outdoor climb or climbing destination? It has to be the Gunk’s because it is where I feel the most familiar on the climbs and where I have made some great personal achievements in climbing that I am really proud of, like my first trad lead (Betty) or just top roping my favorite 5.9 climb Ant’s Line or my favorite 5.7 which is called V-3.
I look forward to more connections with our community at the gym and striving to make Gravity Vault Flemington and Lehigh Valley the best gyms they can be!
