Side Quests

Life beyond the terminal. The hobbies, adventures, and stories that fuel everything else.

Rock Climbing

I've been climbing for over 15 years and it is my favorite thing to do. Rock climbing is part of the reason I dropped out of college. I don't climb has hard as I used to but I know I will never stop.

Fall climbing on a vertical face

Skydiving(Gradient Descent :P)

I've been skydiving for a little over a decade. I prefer angle flying and free flying but I'm always just happy to jump out of plane.
