I've done a number of short aid climbs in the Gunks and Adirondaks,
mostly with
my friend Juan Valderrama. The routes are fun exercises in and of
themselves,
but they're also a good way to keep on top of skills. Juan and I
are
hoping to get to Yosemite sometime soon to climb a few of the big
walls.
The routes I've climbed are listed below.
