Sarah Holditch
Board Member
Once upon a time I was an NAU Climbing Club kid with a whole block of chalk in my bag… Upon discovering this wild passtime and community of vibrant, deeply passionate individuals, I became ingrained. Working at Flagstaff Climbing over the years has only fortified my passion for the community that exists in Northern Arizona. I am very excited to finally officially be a part of the NAZCC and to help foster a strong, supportive, and inclusive community that cares about our local crags just as much as we care about each other and nurtures the places that nurture us.

Dylan Prater
Board Member
My name is Dylan Prater, and my wife, Chelsea, and I have lived in Flagstaff for about three years. We were living out of our Chevy Astrovan with our two dogs, traveling the country climbing and looking for a new place to call home. I took a job with Mother Road Brewing Company, and I am the General Manager of the Hospitality Department.
I have been climbing for about 12 years now, and enjoy all styles. As climbers, I believe it is our responsibility to be stewards of the environment and our community. I am excited to use my position as Board Member as a means to better protect the places we use and love, and to create mutual, lasting relationships with the entities and peoples that we share them with.
