Like most of us, I love a good ego stroking -- even if I have to do it myself sometimes (yes, by all means, feel free to read into the innuendo, that's part of the fun in this self-deprecating shtick). I love the validation I feel when complimented on my abilities as an instructor or when sponsors keep me on year after year...there's some sense of relief I feel (along with the lightness of being that my ballooning ego provides); a sense of relief that perhaps this climbing gig isn't a total farce, a waste of an otherwise (potentially) useful member of the working class.
Imagine my ecstasy when I received email, out of the blue from the crew at Alpinist.com, expressing interest in one of my nascent video shorts. From my first reaction to now, I've run through a gamut of feelings that I can only imagine closely follows suit to those experienced by monkeys you might have seen at the zoo, as they first discover the simplicity and apparant joy found in their public display of pleasuring themselves in the most imaginative of ways.
Disregarding my drivel... I'm sincerely flattered and utterly stoked to be associated with Alpinist TV. Many thanks to Daniel Starr and Keese Lane for taking note and their continued encouragement. You guys are awesome.
