Abbey Hudson
Coach Abbey began climbing when two of her friends convinced her to buy a membership at Climb @ Blue Ridge in 2019. Since then, she has had the opportunity to climb indoors and outdoors alongside many different climbers of varying skill sets. Abbey enjoys educating students in the outdoors and getting to watch as students grow in knowledge and confidence in their climbing skills. In 2021 she had the opportunity to work with a non-profit guiding middle and high school students during mountain biking, paddle boarding, backpacking, hiking, and rock-climbing trips. This experience grew her love for working with students in the outdoors. Abbey loves climbing and has gotten to travel to crags in many different states including Kentucky, Colorado, Virginia, North Carolina, and Alabama. Abbey’s favorite places to climb outdoors include the Red River Gorge in Kentucky and Hidden Valley in Virginia. One of Abbey’s favorite things in life is learning new outdoor skills with friends and getting to educate others around her so they can also enjoy new experiences in the outdoors.
