Questions
Describe your climbing background?
I started out in the gym for years before finally
discovering the great outdoors.
Was there a big breakthrough or defining moment
for you?
Not really.
What do you do when your not climbing?
Mostly just hang out and read. Rest up for my next climbing day.
Any training advice or suggestions?
Just try hard all the time. . .
Who or what inspires you?
Big proud lines, the taller the better. People who push as hard as they
can. And Tommy. . .
Any
thing that really irks you in the mountains?
Litter, I guess.
What's
playing on your stereo/iPod or in your head right now?
Rock, nothing but.
What book are you reading right now or read that
you liked?
I'm reading a Stephen King book right now. It's surprisingly good.
What are your future plans or goals in climbing?
Climb bigger routes faster. In exotic countries maybe.
Anyone you would like to give a shout out to, who's helped you out along the
way?
I appreciate everyone who's helped my out on long routes this season. John,
Chris and Pete.
