Less and less each year

Care to comment on: chipping/comfortizing holds or glue vs. no glue?
I hate chipped routes and artificial holds outside!

I don’t like leashes and the heel spurs on modern mixed routes. On big waterfall ice climbs it can sometimes be dangerous to climb without leashes though.

No but we should make love not war and fuck the army!

Any near death experiences?
No but my brother fell while free soloing from 30 feet and broke his back. It was horrible to watch.

To climb till I'm 90-years old!
