Hey! My name is Caleb Oackes. I grew up in the woods of Bellville, Ohio. Growing up I had a deep connection with nature. I learned to ski and hunt with my dad as a kid and still do! After I graduated high school I started working in a factory and felt so trapped, but climbing became my escape.



When I was 19 I decided I needed a change and moved to Wyoming to work in Yellowstone and Jackson Hole. Eventually I found my way in Red River Gorge with the goal of becoming a guide. I started working at Southeast in the fall of 2024 and it has been a life changing experience. Climbing has helped me to live life to the fullest and I’ve made it my mission to share the stoke with others.
