More Info

I like approaches more than I like bolts. People need to chill out. Towers and walls and far away places, good friends, a cold one on the summit. I just wanna stay lucky.

I enjoy all disciplines and climb 4-5 times a week. I'm a pretty mellow guy but my bullshit tolerance is remarkably low so please don't talk smack or hate, ever. Flashy is bad, sandbagged is good. Perhaps I live in the wrong town... oh well. I'm always looking for parnters and I teach climbing for a living, more or less.

“Ain’t no tuition for havin’ no ambition,
and ain’t no student loan for sitting your ass at home.”
