New member saying hello to SP!
Posted: Fri Aug 27, 2010 4:51 amGreetings to all here at SP.
My name is Billy Yates, and I live in Venice Ca. USA.
I'm not a climber or thrill seeker, but a recording artist who loves Mountains.
I am planning to get myself back into shape suitable for Hiking sorties
and ultimately planning some treks in Oregon, Washington and NorCal.
You will never find me free climbing a vertical wall but scrambling over boulders
and moderate climbs is my goal, but more importantly, the networking and building
of friendships and good times is also a priority. I love people and the environment.
I don't have much to offer in the areas many of you live for but I play a wicked guitar
and love to have fun. The most notable "summits" in my life are centered around
being a member of the recording group, "The Outlaws" and performing with a
multitude of amazing people from Leon Russel to Little Feat and beyond.
My love of mountains and the need to get back to my youthful wanderings
through forests and mountains brings me here, to what I feel is one the finest
sites on earth. I am so impressed by SO MANY people here, it's amazing what you all do.
I am in awe of the character, dedication and skill of you all, that it inspires me to
push myself back into that place where mankind and nature coincide.
Thanks so much for all of what all of you do, I am truly blown away.
I remain humbled,
Billy Yates
