I learned how
to rock climb while in Utah on Geology Field Camp. My Teachers were
the two camp cooks Lina Moses and Bekah Hasalam. I originally thought
it would be to much work to be fun, but I soon learned that the rush and
thrill of it made it well worth it. Even the easier climbs can be
fun and challenging.

During college
in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, I started collecting gear so that I could take out
friends and share the fun. I soon had plenty of companions which
made the experience even better. I think the success of new climbers
and the thrill they get is the best part of the sport for me.

I have some new friends to climb with, but usually climb With my wife Ratih.
We are always happy to meet new friends to climb with. We often invite

We Found some new friends
to climb with while working in Los Angeles. A coworker at Spectrum
Geophysics named Steve and his son Adam join us on occasion. Adam
does great but you can't tell him that, because at 8 years old he will
not trust a word we say. Steve does well and can't climb enough,
he is always ambitious and interested in going some place new.
