Hey, there! I'm Karly, head coach behind Project Direct.
My climbing journey started over a decade ago, but it wasn’t until five years in that I got serious about training.
We are here to help you avoid the headache of trying cookie-cutter plans that give little to no results because they don’t address what you specifically need to reach your goals.
We help you tap into your full potential by combining physical training, mental training, and skill development programs that actually work.
Ready to find out what you’re truly capable of?
more of the project direct story…
Karly started Project Direct in June of 2020 after quitting her engineering job [she worked as a structural engineer for 4 years... but always loved climbing more].
As head coach, she is a certified personal trainer, behavior change specialist, amga single pitch instructor, and has 11+ years of climbing experience.
Karly has coached over 200 athletes from 26 states and 6 countries to their first sends of 5.10b-5.13b. karly has also coached athletes back to loving the sport after feeling burned out and for their first whips on dynos 🤘
The Project Direct philosophy is that there is a lot more to becoming a better climber than training, but that training can be an important piece of the puzzle. your mental game is often an overlooked piece of that puzzle.
Project Direct’s mission is to give people the tools they need to realize their full potential - and we are adamant that those tools can take many forms.
