A person climbs a large, overhanging boulder in a forested area, clinging to the rock with both hands. Climbing gear and a crash pad are on the ground beneath the climber.
A young person with tousled dark hair and a faint mustache looks directly at the camera, standing against a plain off-white wall and wearing a dark-colored shirt.

Q+A: 

Who is your favorite climbing/running/skiing partner and why?

Hard to pick a favourite! Sharing the climbing with different people can provide lots of enjoyable variations to the experience. In general though, I enjoy being around close friends the best.

"Baby again.." by Fred again..

What was the first La Sportiva product you tried?

The first product I tried was the Testarossa. It was the third pair of climbing shoes I had ever owned.
