World travel. Nepal is one of my favorite places on earth; great people and amazingly beautiful mountains.
More Info
Started climbing in 2003 and spent that winter living in Joshua Tree NP. I have been very fortunate to have had excellent partners from the start and the opportunity to climb on some of the best rock in the most beautiful places...Tuolumne Meadows, the Needles, Joshua Tree, high Sierra. The last couple years I have moved around quite a bit and as a result, my climbing came to a halt. Now that I am back in Boulder, Colorado I am eager to get out on the rock and return to my climbing life. As for the trad and sport levels above, what grade I follow or lead depends on what type of rock, when, and whether or not I have insurance. I prefer to follow much harder routes than I can lead. Looking to meet up with local partners who are experienced, safe, and fun to climb with.

Oct 25, 2016 I headed up there on Friday and found all of the campsites were full. Apparently, it's fall break for the schools in this part of the country, which was news to me. Despite tha… View Message
