Welcome to my story page.

I am an avid climber/outdoors person that lives in Colorado. It took me many years to finaly move to CO, but I am here to stay. Now I live in Fort Collins and am getting married to Olivia in October. I hope to have some kind of a page for Olivia and I soon. For now go here.Olivia and Aaron

I built this web page some time ago when I had taken some time off to climb and enjoy life. But my climbing trip was cut short and I built this page. My trip start off in one of my favorite places Yosemite Valley with my friend Jason Ham. Jason and I decided to climb Washington’s Column. I started to lead the 5.10 second pitch with very little gear placed at the start. I slipped and landed on the belay ledge, my foot was in awful pain. I tried to stand on it but could not, I refused to admit I had broken it, but I could climb no further. So we headed back to the valley, I soaked by swelling foot in the Merced river and we drank beer. Then it was off to Sacramento in hopes our friend Jeff would give us refuge for the night and I could find a place to look my foot looked at. I now know that I have 3 broken metatarsals and lot of time to work on my web page before school starts. Thanks for reading my story.

On to more exciting topics. I love to

Here is a photo of me and a friend Colby on Sea of Holes in Waco Tanks. This was about 4 years ago. He and Eric wanted me to lead the second pitch. This was one of the scariest things I had ever done at the time. It felt so good to be at the top of Sea of Holes we sat up their and watched the sunset. Mistake this made geting down Hell.

I have been to lots of places to climb and have many, let me repeat many more places to go. Their are many places I want to revisit such as The Needles in the Southern Seirras.

insert photo of needles here.

I also like fish. Here is a photo of a fish my sister sent to me using snail mail. She mailed it all the way from Southern Cal with regular old stamps. Man did it stink when I opened the package. Then when I opened up the fish it had a message in it. Woow what a sister.
