"I'm not THAT good" haha, he just crushes everything on the planet and free solos moonlight buttress, no big deal. What a great guy and climber! To all the crushers out there, crush on, maybe see you in So. Utah this winter!

Love this guy's honesty and his approach/views on climbing. Definitely made me stoked to climb. I like hearing from a pro climber I can relate to.

Thanks BD!
