More Info

I started climbing when I was 11 and haven't gotten seriously injured, so I figure I'm doing something right. Except for the tendonitis. And then I had children...

I've done most of my climbing in Kentucky, Colorado, Tennessee, and North Carolina. I've done some climbing in South America and Europe as well. My favorite climbing is in the Utah desert and Rocky Mountain alpine, but it's been a long time since doing either of those.
