name: marc
Location: London Ontario, Canada

sport...kinda
trad: I've onsigthed a couple 5.7s

favourive food is lazagna with lots of cheese and NO vegetables...
you can really ruin a good lasagna with crappy vegetables... I've seen carrots, zuccini, broccoli... what are they thinking!

spinnach however, is quite acceptable.

I climb (when I can) at mt Nemo and Kelso.
hoping to take a trip feb19th to 26th... either want to learn to ice climb, or head down south if it fits in the budget.
(message me if your looking for a partner for a feb trip!)
