More Info
Aka "Lance" elsewhere on site. Climber since 1976, retired from climbing now. Redpoint, onsight, lead history, owned a guide-instruction business - competent lead climber and well-trained. Matterhorn, East Face of Long's Peak, Hallet Peak most memorable climbs. Very grateful for lessons learned on the longer, some overnight climbs! Take care - learn ALL the safety stuff and don't take ANYTHING for granted (chopped bolts, loose anchors, rock fall - be prepared!)
