A life well lived.
We are deeply saddened by the loss of Kalem Kazarian.
A morning crew staple for the better part of a decade, Kalem was more than just a familiar face at the gym. He was part of the fabric of our climbing community both indoors and out. His presence, friendship, and love for climbing helped make this place what it is.
MetalMark has always been more than just a place to climb. It’s where friendships are built, stories are shared, and people become part of something bigger. Kalem was a reminder of just how special that community can be.
Our hearts go out to Kalem’s family, friends, and everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him.
Rest easy, Kalem. You’ll be missed.
