And since the audience is different every night, the music being played will differ too. Every space I performed in has its own magic and spirit.

Maya AngelouWe search out the most perfect pieces of rock. It's so amazing that these formations are so perfect for climbing on. It's almost as if they were created for climbing. You're taking these random rock formations and you're bringing to it this interaction. It transforms it from being this random rock into almost this piece of art.

Climbing and my appreciation for nature are totally intertwined.

Pray for guidance and protection from the Lord. He will sustain you. He will become a trusted friend, and you will discover that your example will attract many friends who will take courage from your strength of character.
