Matthew Phillips is a force of nature, having started climbing at the age of 14, he took the para-climbing world by storm, winning the world championships in 2018 at the age of 18, and repeating that feat a year later.

Now he has his sight sets on some outdoor goals, and along with his coach, mentor and friend Robin O’Leary Matt takes on the boulders and sport climbs of Boulder Colorado.
