Climbers

Brady Robinson:

Armando Menocal’s tireless efforts to defend climbing access have shaped the landscape of climbing in the US and Latin America, enabling countless climbers to enjoy the sport. He is remembered as a passionate advocate, a visionary leader, and a champion for climbers’ freedom. Anyone who knew him can never forget his incisive curiosity, easy laugh and beaming, gap-toothed smile. [1]
