My name is Matthew and I love, love, love, love, love running (the verb and the gerund). Everything to do with it, I love. The painful feeling of being drained, the heightened endorphins, the training, the coaching, the racing, and the gear (Short shorts or gtfo). I did XC and track year round for 3 years in H.S., and now I'm just running freely in college. My ultimate goal is to do an ultra.

Besides running, I love oreos, water, movies, reading, hanging out with my friends, chips ahoy, dr. pepper, feeling clean, going shirtless around the house, colorful things, etc.

Boulder Passion

When I first started climbing, the plentiful and difficult bouldering problems are what drew me in. It wasn’t top-roping with its heights and endurance. It was the quick, short, and powerful moves of bouldering.

For the first time since then, I have felt the same passion for bouldering I once have. They recently set a lot of cool routes, and I tried a couple for the first time. It was really nice to feel that love for bouldering again :)

However, I will not lost sight of top-roping because that’s where its at. Bouldering will only get you so far. With top-roping, the possibilities are endless.

Hopefully we will go outdoor climbing tomorrow and it will be AWESOME.
