Mark Tjaden:

Mark started climbing at an early age on the cliffs of Devils Lake WI. Although his travels take him around the world, he somehow finds himself back home on the Colorado Front Range. Mark can usually be found all over the drag either giving a visiting climber the much needed beta on a hard route or helping a wandering tourist find their car.

"The climbing community is not a close enough group anymore. We need to get back into the era where the locals all know and climb with each other on a regular basis."
