Been climbing now for 49 years.
I always prefer Trad., but will cross to the dark side for Sports or to a climbing wall.
Lead 6a / perhaps 6b indoors.
VS / HVS Trad lead, but I have led, and seconded harder in the past.
Involved in several new routes in Spain.
Competent & confident in what I can and cannot do. Though I say so myself, I'm very good at teaching trad skills to this current generation that only seem to know where climbing walls are - placing gear, safe belays etc. Hopefully various partners would back up that claim [Those that are still alive to do so, LOL]
Happily married with one grown child.
Well travelled, cyclist, motorcyclist, old, fat and bald.
I LOVE climbing - it is THE most absorbing sport I've ever done.
I tend to pick up some litter each time I'm out, as a means of paying it forward. [Smug b*stard I know!] Despite that, I try not to take myself too seriously, I am old enough to know that I have opinions that are just that - opinions, not definitive statements that are unassailable.
FYI - My photo is me, many years ago, soloing "Something Better Change" at The Roaches. I don't solo much, and I'm VERY unlikely to solo that these days.
