    "There's nothing better to me than waking up on a big wall
    and knowing that I've got a full day of climbing ahead of me,
    and a day after that and a day after that. Life becomes so simple"

    John Middendorf
    Climbing No. 146


                            Nicole and I at Seneca Rocks, WV                       Descrepency - Seneca Rocks, WV

    I am currently a middle school counselor in Waynesboro, Virginia.   My home stomping ground is Seneca Rocks - an easy day trip (1 1/2 hours) from Harrisonburg - where I first got on the "sharp end". I mostly climb traditional, but I enjoy sport climbing.  I have been bitten by the big wall bug as well.  If I can't lead 5.12's, I can sure suffer for 5 days on some A3+.  I enjoy climbing anything. For me, just feeling the rock under my hands and feet, whether it be 5.4 or 5.10, is heaven.

    My first love is my wonderful wife, Nicole. But climbing and biking take a close second.(Hope that gets me off the hook.)  Living in Harrisonburg, I am only 25 minutes from miles and miles of steep and fast single track in George Washington National Forest. The world cup downhill and the Hoo-Ha race are held at nearby Massanutten Mountain. No problems with crowds here, it is a rare occasion that I have met another biker on the trail.

    "This has been a delicious day, the kind whose taste lingers long after it ends, whose memory even months later activates all your senses. Good food, good conversation, spectacular scenery, and vivid experiences. The hot sun to warm your back, a cool river to escape into, and the luxury to enjoy them both. Simple pleasures.  Trails to explore, mountains to climb, vistas to view, and good companions to share them with you. A day, like the surroundings, that will remain forever in time."
