"As an adolescent I aspired to lasting fame, I craved factual certainty, and I thirsted for a meaningful vision of human life - so I became a scientist. This is like becoming an archbishop so you can meet girls."

Halloween CruiserWhat a great day for a long climb! Weather was perfect and the rock was great. Alot of traffic up there but I guess that is to be expected being that close to Boulder and having such a great weather day to climb.

Nice dayFun times with a couple new friends from Seattle: Stacy, Brian, and Derek (who I roped with). Busy day up there(Sun), but had some fun taking our time setting trad anchors etc. Fun rapping too, just had to wait in line.

My first Trad ClimbMy first Trad climb, multi pitch. This was really fun, but I'd just as easily solo the thing.

Flatiron ClassicHave climbed the east face route several times. One of the funnest climbs ever. Never tire of the setting, exposure, and feel of this timeless classic.

My 1st climb!10/12/03 - This was my introduction to rock climbing. It was fun and very easy as a beginner. This was the first time I'd ever rappelled too - it took a lot of guts to step off that summit!
11/8/13 - Swapped leads with Gary. Did in 5 pitches with 70m rope. I led P1, P3 & P5. Brought back some cool memories!

Great exposure!Climbed this several times in college circa 1994. The first time we missed the last pitch and ended up in the 'room' below the summit block. Second time was a charm and enjoyed the view from above and the 3rd and final hanging rappel!

First ClimbAt 16 yrs old, I was scared out of my mind on this rock! A good friend of my dad (Tom Sarazan) lead my father and I to the top. I had a splitting headache, and swore to myself that I'd never climb again! Well, I didn't keep that promise to myself :)

Colorado ClassicOne of the all time great, move over the rock, fun climbs. I've done it at least 30 times, by several routes.
Viva la Third !!!!

Just another day in boulderthird or 4'th? time on this route, it's great just due to size but obviously not a highly technical climb, always good to spend time in boulder

Mother's Day ClimbThis was the first of several times that I've been up the Third Flatiron. I love the climb, but am not fond of the first rappel...I aways feel as if I'm going to bash my teeth when I go over the edge.

Summer Road TripCLimbed with a buddy during a sweet week-long summer road trip to Colorado. Didn't sign the register: no pen or pencil there, but we did take a picture of it.
