The rock routes which I climb do not entail the same intensity of commitment, logistical overhead, time, equipment, or holistic expedition management skills as mountaineering goals. Nonetheless it is highly rewarding to send routes near my limit.

     Rock climbing engages me with a process of growth and discovery, through challenging experiences, which is similar to that of high mountains. Rigor in training, focus towards personally meaningful goals, mental fortitude, and incredible natural beauty are significant and compelling overlaps between rock and altitude.

     I log my climbs on ‘theCrag’, here.
