More Info

I mostly enjoy trad climbing, but I get out bolt clipping as well. Long routes with striking lines are my fave, but anything good quality is fine by me. I don't climb for numbers and will frequently choose mileage, quality and adventure over pure difficulty. Always open to meeting new motivated and safe partners interested in getting out locally or on road trips.
