I began rock climbing in the fall of 2008 and have climbed in fifteen different states so far. Included below are my favorites among the pics I've accumulated. Photos 1, 2, 3, and 6 were snapped by my extremely talented friend Brandon Hall.
I am the current faculty sponsor for the NDSU climbing club.

Me terrified on my second outdoor sport climb ever, at Horseshoe Canyon Ranch, AR back in Spring 2009. (In a few seconds I actually lose it and take a 25-foot fall!)
Back at HCR a few years later. Probably the coolest I will ever look.
My favorite falling pic.
