You may know the name, you may have climbed one of her routes at Inspire or Stone Co. or you saw her mini interview I did with her a while back ago! Jay De Vera a routesetter at Inspire that is sadly leaving us for a great opportunity that is well deserved! She’s not only impacted our lives on the wall with her amazing routes, but off the wall with her loving attitude for the sport and the climbers who climbed her routes! I decided to talk to some early morning members that knew her and wanted her to hear how she made an impact in a lot of their lives and that she will always be a part of the Inspire family! Here’s some love from some of the early morning crew family to you Jay!
Jay! You will be deeply missed! I didn’t always climb your routes successfully, but I always enjoyed them. They were projects that I genuinely enjoyed working on! Thank you for pushing us all to be better climbers! Best of luck to you!
– Josh Cummings
I’ve been climbing at inspire for about 8 years. I’ve met a bunch of really great people in that time. I appreciate everything you have done and whether you know it or not, you and your routes have always been right there with us through it all. I sincerely hope the future is bright for you Jay. Take care.
-Chris Sansing
Good luck with your new adventure. I hope your future is full of great climbs and just a little less complaining from climbers. 
From Rosi (morning climber)

Linda Frizzell – Jay I am sad that you are leaving us but really excited about your new job. I have loved the conversations we have had about climbing and the routes you set. I have enjoyed climbing those routes. Thank you for challenging me in my climbs. I wish you all the best and much success and hopefully fun at the bouldering gym. 
For Jay: Hi Jay, I just want to thank you for setting such amazing routes over the time that you were at Inspire! I have been climbing for a long time and still think of your black route as one of my favorite routes ever! I love the creativity, technique, and flow you bring with your skill. More than anything I love the fact that you were willing to talk to us climbers about your routes. You will not be easy to replace and you will be missed! I’ll be up at the new gym when they open in order to publish a gym review for theDIHEDRAL. I am looking forward to hearing about all the great things you are bringing to the land of sugar! All the best, Carrot
