Miles Watson
Miles grew up in Salt Lake City, Utah where he spent his younger years exploring the outdoors through skiing, backpacking, and birding with his parents. In high school, he began climbing competitively before departing the competition scene and focusing more on outdoor bouldering and rope climbing. He attended the University of Utah studying biology and ecology where he was introduced to canyoneering, white water sports, ice climbing, and backcountry skiing. In his free time, Miles loves playing sports, honing in his Geoguessr skills, and spending time with those he loves.
