Quotable
"They are probably all saying that because in the past two years I have come out of nowhere and I have gotten better every year. Last year at the Lumberjack World Championships I really surprised a lot of people with my perfomance, specifically in the speed climb. I have really fast ups and I'm a lot younger than most of the other guys. With the combination of me making leaps and bounds in competition and my youth I think they all have taken a notice to that." - On the overwhelming response of other competitors.
