    Rock Climbing

    I used to be a rock climber but have retired. I started climbing in 1991 and was a good 5.9 climber; 5.10s were challenging but I could often do them. 5.11s were beyond both my abilities and ambitions!

    Scotland

    I got my PhD from the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. (For a picture of the City of Edinburgh [138 Kbytes], click here.) I really like Scotland, especially the coast, mountains, and castles.
