More Info
I've been climbing since the early 70's, knickers, hexes, gold lines, and no guidebooks. Still climbing, although not as hard as before, I like long multi-pitch cracks and friction more than short steep face climbs. Willing to travel, can't quit until I get my fill. 20 years ago an older friend bowed out of a planned trip by telling me, "You see all these climbs you haven't done and you wish you could still do them, I see the same climbs I haven't done and wish I had already done them." Don't want to catch myself telling that to somebody one day. Constantly taking new people out because I love being an ambassador to my sport and to the outdoors.
