TIM MURPHY, Founder & Program Director, MSW, AMGA SPI
Tim began climbing in the early 1990s and has climbed hundreds of traditional single and multi-pitch routes in some of the most inspiring climbing areas in the US, including Zion National Park, Indian Creek, and Gallatin Canyon. He has taught climbers, guided in the wilderness, and managed outdoor programs for over 20 years and is passionate about fostering relationships between people and nature through climbing and other outdoor pursuits.
EUNNY JANG, Founder & Director of Operations, AMGA SPI
Eunny discovered climbing after returning to the DC area from 10 years in Colorado. Building on plentiful wilderness and mountain experience as an avid backpacker and through-hiker in the west and a background in teaching, instructional design, and category and program management in educational publishing, she is excited to combine work and passion, helping others navigate a safe and successful transition into outdoor climbing by building their technical skills, knowledge, and leader confidence.
East Outdoors is dedicated to sparking personal and community growth by creating pathways for all to build their own relationships with the outdoors.
Their core values are:
Adventure
Education
Stewardship
Mindfulness
Healthy communities
