Man lives in desert, climbs cracks.

What an amazing life! Living to do what you love and not pretending you have to be anything else.

Let’s not glamorize a lifestyle that is only ideal when viewed from the outside. The day to day would obviously be much more depressing because to me there is so much more to life than climbing.

and yet he punched out all the windows in his camper…. i don’ think you live that life without some dark, dark nights. i’d have liked to know more about the shadow side of living eating from a can, broke and alone in a pickup truck. chase the dream, but don’t try to say it’s all a good one…..

There is more to old mates life than just climbing man. He likes hanging in the desert and waking to calm crisp air and making the little things in life an enjoyable little ritual. Like making his coffee and chilling out. He goes jogging. It’s hardly glamorising it.

It’s absolutely glamorizing it.

There was quite the interesting discussion over on MP regarding Alf, some lady posted saying he jumped into her camp and helped himself to her food, then it was pretty much 50/50 love/hate Alf for about 13 pages. I can’t find it now though, it have gotten deleted it got so nasty.
I also ran across a short note about “Alf’s Arete” in JTree saying Alf spotted the line then gave up the lead to another guy whom Alf short roped when he got to the top so Alf could get the send. He’s certainly a character!

He sounds like an asshole.

“Lining the Dream”? Bullshit. Gleaning a living off of others to pursue a purely selfish sport without giving anything back is about as far from noble as you can get.

Whatev, anyone who has climbed in new Mexico, AZ, and Utah for more than the last year knows alf’s a sketch ball…ask around who’s had him pull a gun on them for refusing a resole…

ehhhh…i bet hes a good guy

There are dark days and dark nights regardless if you live in a vibrant city or quiet suburb, if you are surrounded by people, friends and family. It is true there is more to life than climbing, but there is also more to life than the 9-5 job, the new car, comfortable house and newly remodeled kitchen. The simplest life is often the most rewarding life. You ever wonder why glamorizing some famous rap artist’s life on MTV cribs is okay is this society? Glamorizing a life of consumerism and wealth?
