Climbing

Hi. This page is mostly for me. I climb two or three times a week, and felt I needed a way to maintain records on my progress.

Current level

On-sight: 6b (5.10c), after some scouting: 6c (5.11a/5.11b). Current project(s): 6c+ (5.11c) and 7a (5.11d).

Notable ascents

Dyno

Here’s a video of me doing an impressive dyno. That is: it’s impressive if you were me and were actually hanging there. It’s not that impressive if you’re watching it on your screen.
