Climbing and Hiking in the Mountains
| I've been climbing in the Wasington State Cascade mountains
since 1992. My main joy is long, remote wilderness trips and long, moderate
(mid
5th
class, that is) rock routes. I've made a few excursions to other mountain
ranges. I've written a few stories about my climbs. I'm also good with
navigation
and routes and have written up route descriptions of most climbs that I've
done. |
