“Kevin is not only an excellent rock climber on everything from high-ball boulders to big walls, but he is a person of utmost integrity. Through his efforts at PCI (Pro Climbers International), he hopes to raise the level of professionalism in climbing for the benefit of not just the climbers and spectators, but for the outdoor industry overall.”
— Lynn Hill
“Kevin is setting a new standard for what a professional rock climber is. He is a strong, dedicated climber who is constantly pushing himself in the vertical world. Kevin has also raised the bar on how a professional athlete should communicate and interact with his sponsors. Sterling Rope is proud to have KJ on our team”
— John Branagan, Sterling Rope
“In addition to being a world class climber, Kevin has an entrepreneurial spirit and a can-do attitude that pervade everything he does. A consummate professional, he is working hard to raise the standards of professional climbers through his new organization, PCI. Not limited to working with athletes, PCI has been instrumental to the relaunch of the Access Fund’s Ambassador Program, which harnesses athletes and AF corporate partners to advance the mission and membership of the AF. We look forward to a long and healthy partnership with PCI and commend Kevin for his vision and work to make it a reality.”
— Brady Robinson, Executive Director, Access Fund
“I’ve known and worked with Kevin since he was a kid growing up climbing in Santa Rosa’s Vertex rock gym. Kevin is diligent and driven to succeed. He is also highly creative and a great problem solver, whether it’s a climbing problem or a business problem. Kevin has worked hard to develop a hybrid life for himself, blending his passion for climbing with his organizational skills”
— Tom Fritz, Marmot
“As a filmmaker who has the opportunity to work with any of the top names in the sport, I’ll never turn down the opportunity to shoot with Kevin. His confident style, give-it-all effort, and willingness to put his ass on the line make for great video. Combine that with a genuinely intelligent, friendly personality and you’ve got one great addition to the climbing community. To watch Kevin climb is to understand motivation.”
— Chuck Fryberger
“Kevin Jorgeson is a climber of thought and action — his trademark might be high, hard boulder problems, but, remarkable for a climber so young, he seeks new lines of a purity that reach back to the roots of our sport. As a technician and respecter of the stone, he’s unimpeachable, and has always been a pleasure to work with.”
