Timmy O'Neill: The Interview
By Andrew Tower (aka Wig)

C-Note got to sit down and take a few photos with Timmy a while ago and I had the pleasure of doing a "#$%&ing extemporaneous IM interview"(as he so eloquently put it) with him not too long after.

You're a fairly prominent figure in the climbing community. People know Timmy. We see you in Patagonia ads and Peter Mortimer films and we all think you're great, but I have no idea what you actually do. What do you actually do?
I wake up each day, scrub my teeth with nylon bristles, pull pants over my legs, a shirt over my torso and slip my feet into sandals, then I drink coffee.

That sounds like the best deal ever.
After that it really depends but that is the most routine that my day is, any day that I have.

It seems you have plenty of time to climb though, which I suppose is an important thing, if not THE important thing.
What I do is interact with humanity through myriad forms of communication both real/in-person and virtual. It's climber/kayaker/mountain biker, meets life-coach, plays mad rock and roll drums, and changes lives through climbing.
