Clothing

First of all I have to give a huge THANKS to pretty much all of the climbing companies for the many t-shirts, pants and hats that were given to me to wear. I still have probably a few hundred t-shirts in the museum. In the late 1980s - early 1990s, Deidre Burton kept me in the Jungle Jym brand of pants. All through the 1990s into the 2000s Beaver had me sporting Prana clothing. I was not sponsored by Prana, but Beaver said I was family. Big THANKS Beaver! Brian at Evolv sponsored me for 9 years in the 2000s. At first I was listed in their top athletes category. Wow big THANKS Brian and Evolv for all the shoes and just everything! John Yates insisted I wore his hat. Heck yes, since Yates products were huge in the big wall scene. Then in 2017 Patagonia approached me and said that I am now in their family. Wow big THANKS Terri, Val, and Melinda. Without all of this support, I may have not even become the accomplished climber that I am today. Not one of these companies asked for a resume or even asked of what route ratings that I have sent. They all just believed in me. So for the entire climbing industry, you made my life great! I bend a knee to you!!
