About Me

Attention: 90% of the time, I can only "host" rock climbers. By host, I mean you can come rock climbing with me. I want to contribute to the community, but I am never home - always out rock climbing.

I've had a very low response rate for the longest time. I've gotten super into rock climbing and am always out of town climbing on the weekends.

If you are a rock climber who is looking for someone local with gear to go out with, share a tent with, share gear with, hit me up. All you need is a harness, helmet, and shoes. I am very into safety. If you take risks or don't know your safety, I don't want to climb with you if you are unwilling to learn.

My current level is 5.12a lead sport, 5.10a lead trad.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My number one life experience was a mountain bike trip down the McKenzie River Trail. It wins the #1 most scenic bike route in Outdoor magazine almost every year. The scenery was breathtaking. Mud splashed in my face, luscious verdant moss sprouted off the old growth trees, and a ghostly blue river glided and spun upon large smoothed boulders in the water. On the first night, it poured like a monsoon. It was the most therapeutic and aesthetically pleasing experience ever. Totally surreal. I will never forget it. I feel really blessed to live nearby. I will go again soon. Want to come with me/us?!?
