OfflineA Little About Me
(a.k.a. SSQ)
Been climbing on/off since the mid-90s, mostly in CA. Prefer alpine trad routes. Also do sport climbing, bouldering, and trail running, and road biking to pass the time between mountain adventures.
Favorite areas: High Sierra, Red Rocks, Tahquitz, Eldo
That which does not kill us makes us stronger.
