Climbing, Climbing, Music in any way, I've played guitar now for 15 years taught by my dad, Oh, and I like to Climb. I like kyaking, backpacking, camping, anything outside, drinking, drinking good beer!(Cumberland BREWS!!!)
You Are Guinness
You know beer well, and you'll only drink the best beers in the world.
Watered down beers disgust you, as do the people who drink them.
When you drink, you tend to become a bit of a know it all - especially about subjects you don't know well.
But your friends tolerate your drunken ways, because you introduce them to the best beers around.

About me:
Jake, My buddy
02/18/94 - 10/06/07 Rest well, Ol' Buddy. I will never forget you.
I'm a rock climber, a musician, and a chef. I drink, preferably good beer(micro-brew) that and so much more, but I'm too lazy to type it all. And no, I will NOT cook dinner for you, so don't even ask.

You know you’re a trad climber when...
all your draws are 12” long • your kid climbs harder than you do • you’ve worn out a set of cams • there is scar tissue on the back of your hands • you shave the back of your hands • you have six partially used rolls of tape in your pack • you quit sport climbing because you can’t do any of the routes • you see lots of sunrises on your climbing trips • you say, “what?” when your leader says, “take!” • your ledge is set up in your room to hold all your climbing gear • you have climbing shoes you can wear all day • you don’t care when your gym membership expires • you enjoy guilt-free eating • you don’t know what your body-fat % is • you ask your partner how much water to bring along • you do a first ascent and report the names of both members in your party • you drop your belay device and you still know how to belay • you read back-issues or mountain gazette • you know how to turn a crack ‘n up into a beak • you know what a beak is • you wake up at 2:00am to go climbing • your drill uses a hammer • you take a nap in the middle of a climb • you spend three hours removing a fixed cam • you don’t want beta • you think a bong is a type of piton • you remember when climbing gear didn’t have springs • you take a forty footer • you summit a desert tower • you know what an abalakov hook is • you still use a gear sling • there is a holster on your harness • you rappel six pitches in the dark • you rappel six pitches in the snow • you drill from a stance • you’re looking down at the birds • you own a hammer and a haul bag • you have sex on a belay ledge • you’re on day 2 of a sport climbing trip and you can’t remember what you did on day 1 • you drop your water bottle and it takes five seconds to hit • your rack is worth more than your car • your best memories are from the epics you’ve had • you have a great day of climbing then find out you didn’t do the route you thought you did • you spend a night hanging in slings • you miss work on monday because you epic’d on sunday • a whole block of chalk fits in your chalk bag • you dump your S.O. because he just doesn’t get it • you wear out a set of jugs • you drive all night so you can climb all day • you drive all night because you climbed all day • you’re up so high the trees look like broccoli • your rack of pins is heavier than your rack of draws • your slings have knots in them • you know who larry penberthy is • you know the difference between a copperhead and a circlehead • you think “beta” is a video tape format • you can shit and and belay at the same time • you wear socks in your climbing shoes • a long approach doesn’t deter you from a good climb • a good job doesn’t deter you from a good climb • Hendrix runs through your head while you’re climbing • you coil your rope • you’ve set up a belay with the only piece of gear left on your rack • your climbing pants don’t stretch •

Who I'd like to meet:
Climbers, and anyone else who considers themselves cool, but I guess I'll be the final judge of whether or not you're cool. Ha!
oh hey i was just up NW playin...Seattle is a great town and Vancouver Island and Victoria are brilliant. I really love up that way. I would like to move that way at some point. Hey what's the skinny on Mammoth Caves? I'm thinking POSSIBLY heading down that way in June. Do you have info that would be handy as far as camp spots...things I'd have to do... that is...if you have ever been down there and spent any time! Let me know man. Slán!
Hey man!! Great earth day! Diggin the gaelic, bro! Brilliant! Just got back from Seattle and Victoria, BC...had a great trip and posting some pics shortly. How's LOU treating you, man? Doing any climbing yet this year?
Hey there Sam! Yeah, our Earth Day Festival should be fun....we have lots of cool stuff planned. And we can definitely use an extra pair of hands. Too bad we don't have any mountains, you could do a climbing demonstration. At the very least maybe you can whip us up a batch of spaghetti. :-) Stay tuned!
Hope you had a great weekend! I want to invite you and your friends on our inaugural group trip to Greece and Turkey in May! Check your event invitation and register for the trip. Have an awesome day!
