Chris Lindner bio

Home
San Diego, CA. I grew up across the street from Mt. Woodson
Favorite crag
Mt. Clark in So-CAL.
Community
Involvement
I've volunteered at 3 HERA Climb-4-Life ( Women's Ovarian Cancer Fundraiser) events. I've helped out at the Red Rocks Rendezvous a couple years. I am an Ambassador of the Sport for the Access Fund and have hosted/participated in several Fundraisers helping spread respect for our beloved climbing areas.
Why EVOLV?
The shoes are plain good. The Talon is the best shoe I have ever worn in my life and in my opinion the best shoe on the market. I like the fact that the climbing shoes are vegan friendly and are run by a group of very positive and talented people I call good friends of mine.
Proudest
accomplishment
I think my proudest accomplishment is to be climbing for 19 years now, and to be more psyched to rock climb than ever before. It shows that there is always room for improvement and new adventures in rock climbing. I've done 20-30 5.14's and I can't wait to do the next.
I love climbing
because...
I wouldn't know why I love climbing so much because I have never gone more than a couple weeks of my life without it. It is who I am. It is my lifestyle. My friends are climbers, my parents are dedicated to the sport almost more than me, and all I want to do for the rest of my life is rock climb. It is beyond love at this point, it is obsession.
Life Goals
I would like to not only become the best rock climber I can possibly be in my life-time, but I would also like to attract as many people as I can into the sport to spread the word that rock climbing is where it is at in life. I think the more people in the world thatget out and rock climb while appreciating nature the better our world will be. The more people climbing the more people will vote for environmental protection from greedy pollution emitting corporations. I think the more climbers there are in this world, the less fast food/junk food will be sold to our children and the more organic and natural foods will be consumed. Idon't see a problem with the whole world being rock climbers, so it is a goal of mine to bring the healthy nature loving sport to everyone on Earth.
Other interests
I love to Surf and garden my own fruits and veggies.
