Inspiration
Yo Steph,
A couple of years ago I met you at CSU when you gave a slide show and did a signing for your book. I had recently moved to Fort Collins from the rockless Gulf coast and was contemplating taking up rock climbing. My only concern was that perhaps I was too old (61 at the time). I asked you your opinion on this and you in no uncertain terms advised me to go for it. I did and have never looked back. I got some good instruction and was fortunate to hook up with several excellent mentors. I’m now leading trad at 5.6 and sport at 5.7 and having a blast. I look forward to improving my grades this season but even if I don’t I’ll still be enjoying the hell out of it. Thanks for the inspiration.

I wish you years and years to come, of health, happiness and climbing high!
