The Beta Series continues this year for the Triple Crown Bouldering Competition!
Jim reminds me of the hard-core climbing lifers who first got me into climbing in the early 90s. In those days it seemed like everything about life - and death - could be framed in simple terms of moving over stone.
Over the years life has become almost overwhelmingly complicated, and it seemed like those days were gone for good.
Not so with Jim. He's lived through some dark days, yet to me his life seems richer, more fulfilling, more fully integrated.
Climbing has been there all along for him, a life-force rather than an alternative lifestyle.
This gets me stoked all over again.
