Hello WORLD!
This is the beginning of something that has the potential to be pretty fun: a no-nonsense review site based on my personal use of shoes, harnesses, chalk bags/buckets, climbing salves, and whatnot; a some nonsense account of my personal climbing endeavors as I progress in my journey to climb things and compete in the climbing world.
A little about me:
I'm 23! (Screw Blink-182 and their song "What's My Age Again")
I've been climbing since 2011 starting at my undergrad St. Mary's College of Maryland (SMCM).
I am employed at Earth Treks (ROCKVILLE) while I pursue an MA in psych at American University.
I mainly boulder. Admittedly, I should top-rope and lead more, but I really am a boulder at heart.
I project V7s at Earth Treks, and my highest route difficulty is 5.11c.
My love for climbing started late (it seems that climbers are younger and younger each season), but I plan on doing my best to make up for lost time. I hope you'll join me regardless of whether you are just curious about climbing or send Half-Dome at Yosemite for a warm up; whether or 5 years old with proficient computer skills or 80 years old with a desire for adventure.
My measurements and body type (for your consideration when reading my reviews)
6'2" and proud of it
Medium Shirt Size, 31W 32L Pants
170 lbs of hopefully muscle
Shoe size (let's get complicated):
La Sportiva - 40.5 Men's based on Futura
Climb X - 9.5 US Men's based on Sky-Rock it
5.10 - 10 US Men's based on Coyote
Regular shoe size 10.5 US Men's
Til next time!
Kevin
