The Connecticut Rock Gym

Dan Jeanette - Manager // Program Coordinator

Dan grew up exploring the mountains of the northeast, but had never thought of rock climbing before stumbling on the CT Rock Gym in the summer of 2008. Since then, rock climbing has become one of Dan’s major passions. After graduating from the University of Connecticut in 2005 with a B.A. in Music, and then working at the Metropolitan Opera in Manhattan for 3 years, Dan decided to move back to CT and pursue climbing. He is now a manager and program director for the CT Rock Gym. Having recently attained his AMGA Climbing Wall Instructor certification, Dan is working towards his Single Pitch Instructor certification expected sometime next Spring / Summer. In his spare time, Dan enjoys backpacking, skiing, cooking, elaborate practical jokes, and imbibing copious amounts of wine. Current Life Goal: Freeing a route on El Capitan.
