- Age: 32
- Education: Holderness School (1989); Colorado
College (1994-B.A English Lit)
Learned through NOLS in 1988 and since then have been addicted.
Have climbed Denali twice (in 1990 and 1992), and since then have
concentrated on more technical rock and ice climbing. Have traveled
to Australia, New Zealand, Spain, Alaska, Canada, Norway, Switzerland,
and France in order to climb. I enjoy sport climbing, crack climbing,
steep ice climbing, mixed climbing, and alpine ice routes.
Sponsors: Mammut, Petzl / Charlet Moser, La Sportiva
Video Production: Two years ago I teamed up with Jack Tracy
to create a climbing film company called second
chance films. We produced a film called Uncommon Ground which
focused on the northeastern region of the US, and highlighted several
of this areas top climbers: Mark Synnott, Dave Graham, Joe Kinder,
Tim Kemple, and Henry Barber. The film has been in the Banff, Telluride,
Taos, Vancouver, and Moscow Mountain Film Festivals. I am currently
editing the second film which takes place in Switzerland and France.
I spent four months touring around with Dave Graham, Joe Kinder,
Luke Parady, Francois Legrand, Stephan Siegrist, Alex Huber, Lisa
Rands, and Simon Wandeler. Keep your eyes out for this in 2003.
Thanks for your support, and the films are sold through the above
link.
Favorite Climbing Area: My favorite rock climbing
area is Mount Arapiles in Australia...the quantity and quality of
rock is world class, and kangaroos jump around the campground. I
also really liked Ceuse, France...it is easily the best sport climbing
crag in the world and the camping is awesome. For ice climbing areas
I think Banff, Canada is unreal because there is a ton of variety
from long alpine routes and long ice routes to good shorter mixed
routes.
Favorite Climbs: There is a route on Cathedral
Ledge called Liquid Sky (5.13b) that I did a couple seasons ago.
It was a highlight for me at that time because I remember looking
at it when I was getting into climbing and assuming that it was
impossible. It is nice to prove yourself wrong sometimes, and it
showed me that with time and effort we can achieve the things that
we want to.
