More Info
Originally from Seattle, I moved to Boulder in 2002 to pursue my passion for climbing. In 2013, my wife and I moved to Knoxville, TN so she could attend a Physician Assistant program at South College. The South was amazing, but we missed the West. So in 2016 we packed everything up and moved to Salt Lake City. Although I focus on sport climbing, I also boulder, and trad climb. I just love to try hard and go home sore and tired. Makes going to work a little easier.

A River Runs Through It
Mar 23, 2024 · Send. Tried last year and didn't figure it out. Came back this year and it clicked. Love the techy compression and enjoy hanging out in this spot- it is one of the prettiest in Joe’s. A big thanks to Leah for coming to Joe’s to make sure I didn’t kill myself on the top out. Which wasn’t too bad in the end. Luckily, I pulled it off just before it started raining.

Alific
Mar 1, 2024 · Send. First day back at Joe's since Spring last year. Found a little inspiration from this untouched section of the wall and enjoyed piecing this problem together. Excellent rock, decent landing and fun movement. Enjoy!

Mama Worm
Mar 1, 2024 · Send. This was the last problem I tried at joes last year. Felt pretty challenging but doable. Came back with this as my first Joe’s goal of the season. The holds felt much worse than I remembered and some doubt creeped in. Luckily my power training paid off and I sent in 30 minutes this year.

The Spider
Jan 28, 2024 · Flash. Unique pinches and pockets to a few long moves between less juggy holds. Airy. With Michael and Tony.

Whiskey Rail
Jan 28, 2024 · Send. Such a gem. The move to the lip is the crux. A little endurance helps on this one. With Michael, Tony and Murds.

Gravity Breach
Jan 27, 2024 · Love the double heel hook start. Fun and flowy roof moves to a tensiony lip traverse on slopers and edges. Rocking over the slab is awkward. Some endurance is helpful for this one.
