Stomping Grounds:
I LOVE Joe's Valley in central UT, AF Canyon, RMNP, and good ol LCC. Southern Utah is the bomb! I am currently located in American Fork UT. -
Bio:
So I am 18 years old and climbing is my life. It is my religion. I love music and dancing, good laughs with friends and Travel. I can't stand being in the same place for to long and if I do some day put a nest down for myself... Well we'll see what happens... For now I am perfectly content to be a traveling part-time climber, soon to b a full time climber.

The Dragon is the answer...
Five Ten Dragon Lace-up Climbing Shoe - Men's
April 2, 2009
I was wearing the V10's by FiveTen on my first two attempts on this V9 in Moab UT and my heal kept peeling off of a high heal hook used at the start making progression very difficult. I had just bought the Dragons and this was the first problem I ever wore them on. I sent the problem 3rd go using them. AMAZING SHOE!!!

Sporting dragons on The Winds Below in Joe's. The amazing heel and super aggressive toe made all the difference for the send.

Haha okay probably not, but I did five 5.13a's before I sent this route! The petzl sama was an extremely comfortable catch for all the times I fell when I shouldn't of.

Another shot of a rampage day climbing. This photo compressed weird and made my arms, legs, and feet look smaller... strange.

Onsighting 5.12a
Petzl Hirundos Harness - Men's
April 2, 2009
This was the second time I ever wore this harness and I onsighted four 5.12a's, three 5.12b's, and one 5.12c in a day without ever taking it off. After that I took it off to drive to a different crag where I redpointed a 5.13a in 3 goes.

Black Diamond Drop Zone Crash Pad
January 29, 2009
I guess, but it's explicit purpose is to be laid in the dirt and jumped on by dirty climbers with their black shoes and their chalk dust (It's okay, I can say that, I'm one of them). It'd be like washing your doormat. Kind of pointless....washable, maybe. But it is made of 3.5 inches of foam. Foam holds water pretty good so it would be hard to dry it out properly. When we use ours, we just wipe off big bits of dirt, and slap the dusty spots a few times. This seems to release the dust/chalk nicely. It gets them clean enough to put in the back seat of our cars. At least that has been my experience. (I've never puked on one. etc.) For some reason these just don't stay dirty.
