"We cannot lower the mountain, therefore we must elevate ourselves."

1) Who is your favorite climbing partner and why?
My favorite is my dog Zeke. He has been there with me at so many different cliffs, in good or terrible weather, for 10 years now. One thing is for sure, he never bails and he is always psyched!
2) Which is the first La Sportiva shoes/boot you used?
The first I ever used was an old pair of Testarossas from my Dad. Since then I was changed forever.
3) What is your favorite climbing/mountaineering book?
The Push
4) What is the mountain you would like to see at least one time in your life?
Cerro Torre and Mt Fuji
5) Do you take part to a charity or cultural project?
I donate to several causes during the year - some with time and some with money. For the most part I focus my energy on giving to the climbing community because I feel deeply indebted for this amazing adventure I’ve found my way on. I hope I can give back at least as much as I take. I am on the Board of Directors of the Southern Nevada Climber’s Coalition.
6) What's in the air?
I have just a few more big Sport Climbing goals and now these are my focus but within the next year or so I would like to change my main focus to trad climbing, walls, and back to first ascents.
