Obe Carrion

Once one of the world’s strongest climbers, Obe Carrion played a key role in the explosion of bouldering throughout the mid and late-90s. Traveling the world as a pro climber, he pushed the limits of bouldering as we know it, before retiring and returning to his hometown of Allentown, PA. Obe later went on to coach arguably the best female climber ever, Ashima Shiraishi, and he entered the gear industry as a product designer, creating the popular Mad Rock Redline.
