More Info

rock climbing pretty much defines me. my first experiences with climbing we're in outdoor adventure camps when i was young. i've always been into the outdoors; hiking, camping - just being outside makes me really happy. the curiosity of the sport came back to me a few years ago and a couple of friends and i split a top rope set up - its been all downhill from there haha...
