Meet Coach Ludo

Ludo’s passion for climbing began in an unlikely place: New Orleans, LA. With the closest climbing areas more than 8 hours away and one climbing gym in the city, it isn't exactly what you’d call a climbing mecca. This didn't stop him from pursuing his passion. 

After two years of climbing, he was accepted into The Climbing Academy, a traveling high school for gifted young athletes, in which half the time is dedicated to education, while the other half is spent climbing world-class rock. During his time there Ludo traveled the world visiting incredible outdoor climbing locations. 

After graduating he made the only logical choice a young driven climber can make and moved into his Chevy Van to continue his rock education. Three years, and hundreds of climbs later, Ludo dived back into the climbing industry and began his coaching and route-setting career. First at Bend Rock Gym, then BEA, and now Boardworks, as well as his own private training company SESSION. 

Training with Ludo doesn't just mean gnarly workouts. Ludo knows that our mind is the most important tool we have in climbing. If you want to dial in your technical skill, mental strength, physical ability, and outdoor climbing strategies, Ludo will help you reach your goals.
