Another day at the office: Lion King, 5.11c, Tonsai--photo by Jason Darke MichaelJ Male, 41 years old On the road, United States Power = 151 (Vote Weight = 89.43%) Loading... Occupation: writer Website: http://www.amazon.com/Washington-Gone-Crazy-McCarran-Communist/dp/B0017HYDCG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1252773218&sr=8-1 Partner Details: I pretty much travel and climb full time these days, so anyone wanting to do technical routes anywhere in the world, give me a shout. A Few Words: "The thing we loved about climbing was the sensation of escaping from the laws of gravity, of dancing on space, which comes with technical virtuosity. Like the pilot or the skier, a man then feels freed form the condition of a crawling bug and becomes a chamois, a squirrel, almost a bird." --Lionel Terray My book, Washington Gone Crazy, is out in paperback. I've been told it makes a good belay anchor. Send MichaelJ a Private Message (PM) Member Since May 8, 2005, Last Active: Nov 16, 2009 Total Hits: 215300
