Up and coming climbers

I'm working with a new climbing gear company that is looking to sponsor a couple of climbers in the US. We want to focus on a couple of up and coming climbers whose names are at least somewhat recognizable and look like they are likely to do some rad climbs in the future.

So, I'm asking the MP community for a little help with suggestions. (Yes I know that you personally would like to be sponsored and we're all awesome, even if we're gonna die soon, but serious responses would be very much appreciated).

Thanks for your help.

Dru Mack is a climber out of Louisville, KY who's been taking down some pretty hard routes down in the Red. Check him out. He's a great climber and also a really great guy. Worth knowing about in any case.

Drew Ruana of Seattle is always crushing and he is under 18.

I'll second Dru Mack. He's ticking some pretty hard routes and he's a great guy as well. I've known him a while and he's always been happy to help us mortals climbing lowly grades while sending stuff like Southern Smoke (14c).

What's your target market?

Great thread idea. We need to know the next generation. This blog is cool! psicocomp.com/athletes/

Dru Mack is the MAN!!!! Also a really cool dude and would enhance your brand awareness for the 10's of thousands of climbers that flock to the Red.

Check out Michael Rotch! I think he goes by Mike...he is huge!

Yeah, Dru. He's a crusher, and he's always a contender for nicest guy at the crag.
