Things you would change in our sport
Honestly, there's not much I would change except hoping for universal respect from all climbers for the great outdoors. (JEEZ I sound like a Miss America contestant!) I think the majority of climbers are good at packing everything out and being conscientious of the environment by not littering, not trampling vegetation etc. and so on, but there are the rogue few who've trashed areas and give climbers a bad name. They either need to be educated or take up another sport,...like NASCAR. Not that there's anything wrong with NASCAR.

Fill it in
My life is:
Simple and satisfying.

In a perfect world:
People would lack depth and character because crisis and traumatic experiences can make us stronger, wiser and more interesting in general. In a better world, scientists, teachers and other altruistic professions would get paid the salary of rock stars and vice versa.

I get inspired by:
People who can come back from enormous adversity and are better because of it.

I believe in:
Living in the moment.

All I know is...
...that crazy dog people and people who treat their pets like people aren't really THAT crazy. Are we?
...that no matter how hard life tries to knock you down, you should always try harder to get back up.
...that no matter how deep and sage my words of wisdom might sound, I know in reality that I'm mostly a knucklehead.
...that after being with Marc for close to 10 years, I still think he's damn sexy. (and he'd damn well better think the same of me! I know he thinks HE's still sexy!)
...that laughter is the best medicine.
