More Info

Robert Kelman. Enjoy both traditional and sport climbing with more emphasis on traditional (what else? I've been climbing for 49 years). Generally have more free time on weekdays. Happy to climb anything from 5.0 to 5.7. Just like to get out and move. I'm slow on approaches. Very familiar with Vedauwoo: amazon.com/gp/offer-listing…

Apr 22, 2023 "No risk". not so. In decades of climbing the only serious injury I've had came from a fall in a gym. If your ten feet off the deck, you're in a serious situation. View Message
