Kiernan Tong
Hi, I’m Kiernan Tong!
I’m a rock climber from the Bay Area. I started climbing in 2015 for a high school PE credit, but after my first outdoor trip to Tahoe, my views on climbing completely changed for the better. Since then, I’ve centered my training and goals around outdoor projects all over the US. My favorite places to climb are Bishop, RMNP, and Red Rocks.
My favorite Flashed product is the Big Squishy Pad because of how light it is!
