I've been climbing for 6 years. My favorite climbing areas are Yosemite and Joshua Tree, pretty much anywhere in California. I've never gone to another country to climb. I've climbed in Oregon, Idaho, Arizona, Nevada and Texas. I Just love everything about the climbing life, traveling, being on the road, meeting new people, the climbing areas you get to go to, and pushin' myself. Climbing has taught me a lot about myself and has put me in a really good spot in my life.
