Rock climbing, training, photography and writing. I also love football, playing with my two boys, family climbing trips and roadtrips with my favorite partners. I'm a weather weenie who loves extreme weather and forecasting, and I'm also a frustrated musician! I enjoy meeting new climbers, talking training, shooting climbing/training photos, discussing great ideas, great climbs, great concerts, and trying something new and cool....and exploiting synchronicity and "chance" meetings.
Books
Training for Climbing, Learning to Climb Indoors, How To Climb 5.12

Who I'd like to meet: People who love climbing AND training for climbing! People who enjoy pushing their limits whether it's 5.8 or 5.14. People with similar interests. People who love the power of climbing....and can't get enough.
People who are too busy DOING to waste time being critical of others. People who find their own path and ignore what the crowd is doing. People who think life's too short to be negative and complain...and would rather think positive, set and achieve goals, and persevere through tough situations. People who believe in unconditional friendship/love, synergy, and karma. People who believe.

Thanks again for doing the show at the DRG. So awesome. I spent most of the next day explaining multi-pitch climbing on El Cap to a few of the viewers. :-)
Thanks again for everything this past weekend. I had a great time and learned so much. I'll be heading back there shortly. Hopefully I'll talk to you soon. Take care.
How's it going? Aimee was telling me about all of the training exercises you showed her last night and I'm excited to start them. I can't wait to head to the New with you and her! I'll see you soon.
I have read your book more than once, and constantly reference it for valuable methods and sound advice for my ongoing quest to be Sharma-esque in strength.
Thanks for creating such a wonderful read, and thanks for the connection here!
