Noah Wheeler is a professional outdoor boulderer based in Denver, originally from Philadelphia, focused on pushing the upper limits of difficulty in outdoor bouldering. He is one of fewer than ten climbers to have sent V17—the hardest confirmed bouldering grade—and was both the youngest climber at the time, and the first of East or Southeast Asian descent, to achieve the grade with Return of the Sleepwalker. Through his YouTube channel, Wheel Rock, Wheeler also cultivates a highly engaged climbing community, with over 1.5 million total views and strong followings across YouTube, Discord, and Patreon.​
