Claire Johnson

Hello all! My name is Claire Johnson and I am beyond stoked to be your Hoofers Mountaineering President this year! I am a junior studying Communication Arts & Digital Cinema Productions. The infinite dimensions of rock climbing and its community have had me hooked from the start. In the past six years since then, I’ve climbed all over the Midwest and am starting to tick off routes out West. I cannot wait to lead such an awesome group of climbers and earth-dwellers! Please reach out to me if you have any questions!

Hey y’all! My name is Nicole (Niki) Vanselow, and I’m one of the climbing team directors this year. I’m a senior studying biology and Russian, and I’ve been climbing for about 4 years.

Michael Wolfe

Hello! I'm your HMC education chair (reach out to me! education@hoofermountaineering.org) and entering my sixth year as a Physics PhD student. Before Madison, I was at University of Maryland Baltimore County where I studied Physics, Math, and Music, snagging guest passes at Earth Treks whenever I had the chance. I started taking climbing seriously about three years ago and joined Hoofers a couple years ago. I frequent Boulders East, traveling to crags all over the country in my soccer-mom minivan (shoutout to Vanny Jr.), and occasionally being "that guy" with his guitar around the Miguel's Pizza campfire at the Red.

Hi, I'm Ethan Seath and I'm one of the gear managers! I'm a computer engineer here in Madison. I've been involved with HMC and have been climbing in general for the past couple years. I joined hoofers to meet more students involved in climbing and to learn more about outdoor gear. I enjoy trips to the lake and bouldering in town! Outside of climbing I bike and tinker a lot.

Sam Mazzarese

Hello! I'm Sam Mazzarese, one of your gear managers. I am currently a first-year student here at Madison studying electrical engineering. I have been climbing for a little over four years both indoors and outdoors, although I am particularly drawn to outdoor sport climbing, so I was very excited to join Hoofers. Since joining it has been an absolute blast meeting everyone in the club and taking the many opportunities our trip leaders have provided to climb outdoors as much as possible. I will always be glad to help with gear ratings, equipment loans, or anything else climbing related. Feel free to reach out any time!

Hey y’all! My name is Claudia Delgado and I am so thrilled to be one of the HMC gear managers. I am a junior studying Global Health and Zoology, with a huge passion for anything and everything outdoors. I started climbing a year ago with Hoofers and immediately fell in love with the mental and physical components, the connection with nature that comes with outdoor climbing, and the amazing community spirit. It truly is a sport where there is always something to learn, and there is always someone happy to teach you. If you want to get a new rating, or just gab about rocks, feel free to email me at cidelgado@wisc.edu.

Greetings! I'm Jill and I'm psyched to be Mountaineering's Officer of Info Systems this year! I am a senior studying Conservation Biology and Environmental Studies. Always happy to chat about that stuff on top of climbing of course. I've been climbing for about 4 years now since my dad got me into a gym, and I've loved every minute of it. Hoofers has gotten me to where I am in terms of skill level, community, experience, and overall stoke for the sport. Let me know if you've got any questions or comments about the site or anything Hoofers or climbing, etc. You can also find me at the Bakke!

Caitlin McLaughlin

Hello! My name is Caitlin McLaughlin, and I hold the position of Officer of DEI. I am currently a junior studying Computer Engineering. I have been climbing off and on for 4-5 years now, but I just started climbing outside last Spring Break on the super cool HMC Red Rocks trip. That was the first event I participated in with HMC, and of course I fell in love and haven't looked back. I started attending every event that I could and became a trip leader, so I can climb outdoors as much as possible. Feel free to reach out if you want to climb, ask questions, or just chat!
