How many pads do you own?
Six, but one’s in New York at my dad’s house, and when I’ve got use of our truck, I typically only bring four of them out, much to the dismay of our pad-loving crew. 

How many have you owned in your entire career?
The same.  I’ll only stash them at homes, not boulders, so they tend to have long life spans, even when the old brands have been crippled by ripped straps and crushed foam. 

The big question:  how many V7s and V8s have you done?
Over 500. 

Five hundred?  Whoa...since February of 1999?  That's intense! What would you do without climbing in your life?
I’d become a danger to myself and others with strange schemes ... or I’d get back into free-skiing and biking, fly fishing, and all that other stuff I used to be emotional about. 

Anyone you’d like to thank?
Without spraying out dozens of names, I’d like to thank the Buffalo/Rochester crew for getting me psyched on bouldering and always being psyched to meet me when I’m in town.  I’d like to thank all my friends in the West for putting up with my whining and being really supportive despite my selfish/fascist session plans. I appreciate all the time and good spots you’ve given me; and Amy, for putting up with my constant climbing jabber.  I’m not really a sponsored kid, but I would like to thank the Helkes at Organic for helping me out and giving me wicked Vedauwoo FA tours, to Colin at Sportiva and MB at Frontrangebouldering.com for their past support from time to time, and more recently, to Chris at Scarpa for the same. 

Thanks, JJ.
My pleasure!
