Who we are

I’m not a full time climber, or a professional writer. I have a day job and have created a life for myself that allows me to climb on my own terms. Me and a couple of buddies from Yosemite, we all live elsewhere now, are here to share some stuff we wrote. We’re making something real, tangible, that you can hold in your hands, with stories about the intangibles of climbing. We are independent, simple, accessible. We are ROTPUNKT, and we are here to share in the struggle.
