I would first like to say thank you to my wonderful Wife to be Kim. Thanks you so much for putting up with days upon days of me climbing,reading about Salathe, coming home late from climbing, rolling into bed all bloody and soar then getting up and doing it again. The non stop taking about doing big walls is probably about as interesting to her as me watching desperate house wife's or something. I love you Kim and a part of you will be up there on this wall with me.
There is an outfitter in Portland Oregon that i have to take my hat off to for helping me with this opportunity , they have help me with so much for this trip and a lot of day /weekend climbing trip.

Last but not least My family . They have always thought i was a little crazy for doing these things but after a few years they said "well he's just going to continue doing it, so lets support him" They were always behind me with support and smiles. On my first attempt on the Nose they bought me a rope and was super grateful of that. I love my family very much and thank you for being there for me, Dad(Corando), Shelly( Step Mom), Mom(Jerri), Brother (Corando) ,Little sister (Lesley), Step sisters (Quin and Ellior) and Woodie ( my mentor).
