As a professional climber, that's the question you always get: Why, why, why? It's an ineffable thing; you can't describe it.

I truly believe the intention of creating positive change is so important to the collective consciousness. When you have a group of people that have the intention and the capacity, talent, and intelligence to actualize those intentions, then you have something really powerful.

I've always been interested in working with top athletes, athletes who are pushing the edge and are really progressive in the outdoor space and adventure world.

The best alpinists are the ones with the worst memories.

For me, it's always fun to have people that do the same thing as you or and have the same work ethic as you. A lot of my friends have YouTube channels, and I use them in my videos, and I'm in their videos.

Friendship is a difficult, dangerous job. It is also (though we rarely admit it) extremely exhausting.

The only achievement I am really proud of is the friends I have made in this community.

I'm single, footloose and fancy free, I have no responsibilities, no anchors. Work, friendship and self-improvement, that's me.
