ABOUT MEMountain Leader - From skin tracks to challenging technical peaksGrowing up as the oldest of four children on a rural farm, I was always used to being responsible for the wellbeing of others. My first quarries into the vertical world were scaling hundreds of feet into the canopies of the Coastal Redwoods of our backyard. Risk management in those days meant judging the strength of branches and moving with calculation.
