More Info
Have been climbing for 20+ years...Before moving to Colorado, spent many years climbing all over the North East (Rumney & Cannon) & South East (RRG, T-wall, Foster Falls, HP, Rocktown, Sandrock, The Obed)

I prefer the challenge of hard on-site climbing and don't have the attention span to work routes into submission on red point. I regularly alternate being super psyched on on-sight sport (13s) and trad (12s) routes. I'm in a super psyched and relatively injury free phase now....although it seems like more and more of my outside climbing days recently have been devoted to developing new routes.

You can find me at the local crags or Miramont now and then when I'm not chasing my young kids around

Jun 26, 2015 I missed this gem of a post from JKeller earlier and I wanted to revisit it because of the pure insanity of his statements. I, along with these old school climbers persona… View Message
