The heart and soul of Contact Climbing Gym, Jenny "the ultimate" Compas is the secret sauce behind our community driven mission. With a passion for wellness that ignited during her early days of climbing and yoga back in 2007, Jenny now flexes her expertise as our Chief Operating Officer. In 2014 Jenny and her husband Jeff moved to St. George, lured by the promise of endless outdoor climbing. It wasn't long before they realized they craved the camaraderie of an indoor climbing scene. That’s when the dream of Contact Climbing Gym took flight!
The mastermind behind the scenes, Jeff handles all things financial and IT with an iron will and a knack for finding solutions where others see roadblocks. From drafting mountains of paperwork for the SBA and banks to securing permits and negotiating with contractors, Jeff’s can-do spirit saw Contact from dream to reality—even when the challenges seemed insurmountable. Jeff’s persistence and vision are woven into every element of Contact Climbing.
Savanah began her journey at Contact in 2021 determined to spend as much time here as possible. Through sheer willpower (and maybe some Jedi Mind Tricks) she climbed her way to becoming the Front Desk Manager. They say Savanah keeps the Contact spirit alive by turning the front desk into a powerhouse of organization and energy while orchestrating epic events with a swift click of her camera. When she's not helping Contact to thrive, you'll find her hitting the trails or capturing every photographic moment with her two loyal dog sidekicks, Boba and Matcha.

When it comes to climbing gear, Cameron is the the go-to source for all things ropes, cams, and chalk. As the genius behind Contact’s retail inventory, he ensures that every climber finds exactly what they need to crush their next project. When he’s not guiding gear selections with the precision of a good belay, you’ll find him tackling long trad routes in Zion National Park or out in the Utah Hills pushing his limits on daring projects. Cameron: the man, the myth, the climbing legend
When dust threatens the air filters, vacuums gasp their last breath, and the drinking fountain’s on its final drip, there’s only one man for the job: Chuck “The Fixer” Granite. Facilities manager by title, but legend by reputation. They say Chuck scales the top of the walls every week, swapping out air filters with tactical precision, his wrench strapped like a sidearm, ready to deploy at a moment’s notice.
Chuck Granite: the guy who keeps Contact Climbing Gym clean, fixed, and ready for action.
