WelcomeThanks for visiting my site. It serves as a hub for southern Arizona climbing beta, guiding information, distribution of climbing topos, and my own personal takes on climbing.This year is my 15th year of climbing (9 of which have been in southern AZ). I'm closing in on 2000 days of climbing. I've distributed roughly 100000 mulitipitch climbing topos. Strangely enough, climbing has never gotten old for me. Unlike many other sports I've tried, climbing seems to constantly offer new challenges and dimensions. Few sports offer so much. What I doIn the past 15 years I've trained to become a more skilled, seasoned, and stronger climber. Part of this journey included moving to a place I can climb year-round and becoming certified as a guide through the American Mountain Guides Association.Why spend all this energy on climbing? For the adventure. Climbing allows us to visit remote, incredible places. The sense of accomplishment and the humbling recognition of the magnitude of the world we live is a magnificent paradox. As important as climbing is to me, it is equally important for me to pass along what I have learned and to protect the sport and resources we have. Some of the ways I do this include top-quality climbing instruction and guiding, producing and distributing excellent route information, advocating for responsible stewardship of our climbing resources, and careful, thoughtful, and conservative development of new climbs.
