Bill Boyle. The man established so many routes in the Wasatch and beyond. not all of his routes started as cross, but the man did have an insatiable appetite for choss and a vision for a future classic. Some of his walls, especially at Maple (Craggenmore being notable) would take years to catch on, but ultimately would become destination crags.
3) Carl. My brother doesn’t let an extra chromosome stop him from doing the things he loves, including pulling down at our local gym. Although most people with Down Syndrome are born low muscle tone, Carl goes to the gym weekly and recently topped out our mezzanine wall for the first time without any takes or falls. All week long he talks about climbing … and as soon as he gets back from one gym sesh, he repacks his duffel bag and sets it by the door for the next week! Carl just turned 42 a few days ago.
