How speed, simplicity, and vision produced the BedRock Climbing Facility
By Andrea Haerther
Climbing is more than just a sport—it’s a journey of perseverance, patience, and humility. As Jeremy Salyers, co-founder of BedRock Climbing Facility, says, “Climbing is a very humbling sport. There’s more failure than success. If you come into it with any sort of ego, it’s going to rip it out of you quickly.”
This mindset defined the vision that brought BedRock to life. While driving with his longtime friend, country music star Kip Moore, through Maui, windows down and music up, an idea sparked. Moore mentioned the idea of starting a surf hostel, and Salyers suggested the Red River Gorge as an ideal location.
