Climbing in all forms has been in intregral part of my life for the last 27 years and here are some of the sites and beta from the last couple of those years. In those years I've climbed with great friends and have visited beautiful places, and as this site comes together I hope to show the beauty of Yosemite, the Sierras, Canada, the Gunks, Peru and other beautiful places.

During this time I've had a chance to climb with many good people, learning something from each of them, from the friendship that Toshi Endo in Japan extended to Mr. Style; Doug Sprock; to Jean who has good energy; to Shelley, who leads at her limit more then anyone else I know. Even in my gumby, bumbling style I continue to learn, enjoy the friends, the climbing and sights. |

Why Up the Down Staircase? Not only is it a movie but its an image of an improbability, a staircase down which starts and ends in the same place. And isn't that both climbing and life, just an improbability which seems so natural |
