More Info

One of many East Coast transplants in the Front Range, I spend too much time clipping bolts in Boulder and Clear Creek Canyon or bouldering in RMNP or locally. Otherwise I'm at the BRC, the Spot or CATS gym. 40 years of climbing and counting... Member of Access Fund and the board of the Flatirons Climbing Council as well as volunteer for Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks. Author of BOULDERING, Movement, Tactics, And Problem Solving Coach at Boulder Rock Club
