He looks forward to helping any kid achieve their goals, whatever they may be.

Reggie Goldkuhl

Reggie fell in love with climbing on the sticky sandstone of Southern Illinois. “Out of the 10 years that have passed since, only the last 2 have been spent pulling plastic. I’ve been a part of the Riveter’s setting crew since we opened in 2020 and have been coaching our competitive team for about the same time. Much of my coaching is informed by movement and technique I’ve learned through creating puzzles for climbers to navigate. I also pull from a lot of mindset work that I’ve employed through my outdoor experience. I love competing in almost any form because it encourages me to dig deep and try my hardest.”

Henry Ritterpusch

Henry Ritterpusch is a BlocHaven routesetter and coach with 5 years of experience coaching competitive youth athletes. Henry himself is a National Medalist and V13 climber with notable ascents around the country.⁠
