Woods Family Climbs

Steve Woods

Years climbing: 14 / I enjoy all types of climbs, albeit I have yet to ice or aid climb. Starting out traditional, I quickly found the benefits of sport climbing and bouldering for being able to climb difficult routes with confidence. For me, it's about the aesthetics of a climb and the movement on the rock. Climbing has always been a spiritual endeavor for me. My favorite adventures are always the ones that reveal to me grandness of creation, and the smallness of my worldly concerns.
