"The thing that draws me to climbing is the problem solving. Each foot placement, shifting your weight, placing gear, overcoming fears - it's all a problem to be solved. You fall, you try it again, maybe another way. You find the solution and you practice it till it's right. To top it all off you get to do it outside in some of the most beautiful places on earth, with people who respect each other and the rock they are trusting their lives to. I've always had an inner hippie who hates to shower and loves patchouli. I love feeling connected to the environment I'm exploring at the moment. Climbing is a good way to do that. It's also a good way to educate people about conservation and responsibility, and since most climbers are like-minded there are lots of opportunities to take action. It's a great community and I'm proud to be a part of it."
