Growing up in rural Ohio, climbing was completely off the map for Eric until he started school at Miami University in 2004. After being exposed to sport climbing, it was only a matter of time before he developed an interest in alpine rock and mountaineering. From big walls in Mexico to ice routes in the North Cascades, Eric is always in pursuit of adventure. Graduating in May 2008 with a degree in Finance, Eric looks forward to more free time and chances to explore.
