Matthew Segal
A natural explorer, Matt Segal, 34, has an innate ability for finding rugged, obscure places around the world to establish difficult trad climbs and finding partners to join him. Even in a community of highly motivated vagabonds, Matt’s enthusiasm for climbing and adventure rises above. He’s traveled the world, but many of his proudest routes were climbed near his home in Colorado, like The Iron Monkey (5.14) in Eldorado Canyon and The Orangutan Overhang (5.14) on Independence Pass.
