* In 1979 after three years of climbing, I took a break from climbing for 19 years. Basically, we started climbing bigger stuff and I thought the whole thing was getting pretty dangerous. At the time I quit, none of my partners had any CAMS, we didn’t have sticky rubber, chalk was frowned on, and we used hip belays. Truly the edge of the golden era of hard men and hard women.

** In June of 1999, my girlfriend Belen (now wife) took a climbing lesson at Paradise Rock Gym. Then, she took me on a date to Paradise. I was instantly hooked(again).
