Ranger Bolts is the first route I ever saw on my first time climbing outside 18 years ago. I watched Pete King, who was 50 years old at the time, almost send the route as his warmup. The seed was planted on that day for a lifelong goal. I realized that it could be a reality in January 2011 and then I fell fully in love. And what a journey it has been, I've grown so much as a climber and person through it. The final send was in front of a supportive crowd of friends and ten kids from The Planet Granite Jr. Climbing team. I think they may have learned a thing or two from the old guy. I couldn't have done it without the motivation of so many great friends. A big thanks goes out to Chris Sharma, Moses Potter, Elliott Faber, Jon Stein, Justin Vitcov, Chapu Villanueva, Steven Herbert, Angelo Angelili, Eric Williams, Tom Davis, Kelly Rich, Steve Dalleske, Joe Kinder, Daila Ojeda, Ethan Pringle, Emily Harrington, Brad Young, Mr. Mud, and the whole Mud n' Crud Crew.
