Actually now that I think about it I probably squeezed through my first offwidth in 1972

 

I was squeezed out of my mom in 1977. Don't think that counts though.

 

My history is not so impressive. Started climbing in 94, first peak in 2002.

1995-Castlewood Canyon State Park, Colorado.

Danny Parker and I would have our moms drop us off in the canyon on weekends and afternoons, where we learned the ropes.

At first, we were repellers...but slowely that gave way to climbing in our tennies. As such, we went from rapping off blue tubular webbing, that we would buy by the 100' segment, to an actual 60 meter dry bluewater rope hellno3d.gif

After the first few years, our figure 8's became warn through, from the water falls we would descend and ascend, the cliffs we would squirm up, and the falls we would take.

It was great adventure down there in castlewood canyon bigdrink.gif
