Yosemite has the most impressive and accessible granite big walls in the world. The rock is amazing. And because of that, it's been the mecca for climbing in the U.S. - and the world to a large degree - for all of climbing history. It's the place to test yourself against the historic routes of the past.
- Depending

- Nov 07, 2020
In a general sense, I think it's bad to bring too much money into climbing, since it takes away a little from the beauty of the mountains. But at the same time, I can't blame the Nepali government - or the Indian, Pakistani or Chinese, depending on where you're climbing - from wanting to capitalize on foreign climbers.
- High Level
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The thing with physical preparation is I have tons of friends who train at a really high level and who can give me advice. But with mental training, I don't really know anybody who has a much better mind for climbing, I guess, so I don't really know where I would go. It's not really a limiting factor for me.
- People

- Nov 07, 2020
People think I just walk up to a sheer cliff and climb it with no knowledge of anything, when in reality, there's tons and tons of information out there, and I'm already well tapped into it.
- Die
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
You might get run over; you might get hit by lightning. I mean, who knows? Each day, there is a chance you might die. And there's nothing wrong with that. Every living being on Earth is facing that same existential rift.
- Go

Pretty much every gym I go into, I feel very comfortable. I dump my stuff, take my shoes off, do my thing.
- Endurance
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My friends like to remind me that I have relatively weak fingers. Aerobic strength and general endurance have come easy, but finger strength has always been my biggest weakness.
- Hard
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
A hangboard is a little piece of wood with edges, holes, and slopes. There's different strategies for different things - hanging, varying grips, adding weight. If I do a hard finger workout, I'm definitely sore.
- Executing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm not thinking about anything when I'm climbing, which is part of the appeal. I'm focused on executing what's in front of me.
- Live

- Nov 07, 2020
For sure, Potrero Chico is a super nice winter vacation climbing area. It's really convenient to fly into Monterrey, one of the nicer cities in Mex, and get a taxi to Potero. Then you can just live in the camping area and walk everywhere. It's muy tranquilo, as they say there.

- Nov 07, 2020
I've walked away from more climbs than I can count, just because I sensed that things were not quite right.
- Feeling
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I love the feeling of touching the rock, the feeling of my body going up the rock.
- Me

- Nov 07, 2020
The simple facts of Chadian life - what it takes to survive in that kind of climate with nothing but a hut and some animals - stunned me. And this made me realize, perhaps for the first time, how easy my life was compared to those of people in less privileged societies.
- Environmentalism
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've tried to approach environmentalism the same way I do my climbing: by setting small, concrete goals that build on each other.
- House
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm sponsored by the solar company Goal Zero, and they were gracious enough to install panels on my van and a nice battery system for the inside. I have lights and a fridge inside the van. And of course I had panels installed on my mom's house.
- Footage

- Nov 07, 2020
I think part of what made the original 'Sufferfest' charming was the extremely low production value. It was all shaky handheld footage from Cedar.
