OfflineA Little About Me
I'm occasionally asked,"Why do you climb?" as if to do so is a strange thing.
My answer is always, "Why DON'T you climb?"
Some of the best days of my life have been spent in beautiful, far flung places. It has usually been an achievement to get there, both physical and mental, and the trust and friendship built with a person who doesn't just come along for the ride, but often literally ties their life to yours, even if only for a few hours.
Why wouldn't you???
