OfflineA Little About Me
"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.
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. |
