I've been seriously climbing for over 3 years but have been toying with it for years. Long moderate trad is my favorite which is greatly influenced by getting interested in climbing largely through hiking the 46 Adirondack High Peaks, so climbing is just a way to climb bigger, badder mountains, like Jagged Mtn in CO (way backcountry 5th class peak). I climbed a lot at the New River Gorge near Appalachian Bible College where I graduated in their excellent Christian Camping program. Now I am working at Camp Redcloud in CO!!
