Views on Life
Hi Steph,
My name is Chad, I work for an ocean conservation organization called Sea Shepherd who try to stop the destruction of the oceans from whaling, industrialized fishing and things like illegal poaching. Now it is not entirely relevant to climbing but i have been vegan for 11 years, when I am not lost at sea I try to get lost in mountains and wilderness. it’s tough to keep a good regime at sea but I try!
I have followed your climbing and just recently watched your solo of the diamond. Of course the climb itself was incredibly impressive, But i guess What I find really beautiful, are the things you speak of which go with the climb and life in general. You have an amazing attitude on life which is pretty rare these days. it’s a relief to hear in ways. Also the fact that your vegan and are shattering stereotypes, is even cooler. I am sure you hear this but it’s inspiring. Maybe for someone who also lives a bit out of step with the standards and expectations of society ( for lack of better words ), I’d like to thank you and hope you stay with it. I trust you will.
Love life and climb safe!
Chad
Thanks for your wonderful letter Chad! And thanks for the hard work you are doing to protect the creatures.
Steph
