A good belayer always keeps and eye on their climber.

From my first trip to Red Rocks. Panty Wall in all its glory.

My first attempt at ice climbing. A fun WI 3 (or so I was told) at the lower falls of Gooseberry Falls State Park. I couldn't think of a better day to get introduced to ice.

Another climb at Gooseberry Falls State Park. I got to get a little mixed climbing in on this route (WI 4-5).

Me leading Danger Hight Voltage (5.8) at Palisade Head on the North Shore of Lake Superior.

Here I am belaying my friend Krone on his first trad lead.

A graphic of the tatoo I have.

Ah, my first sport lead. What a fun climb!

Smile for the birdy.

Me getting ready to lead ‘Over the Rainbow’, a fun 5.7.

A silly little drawing of me inspired from Calvin and Hobbs.

Rappelling down to the beginning of ‘A Study in Scarlet’ on Shovel Point.

I discovered that ascending a free hanging line for 80 feet is rather tiring. I was glad to get to this section of less than vertical rock! Damn I’m out of shape.
