Favorite Five Ten shoe: comfy Moccasyms. When I alpine climb I seam-seal as well as snow-seal them and wear them with a thick pair of socks. I’ve climbed super-hard cracks in them as well as worn strap-on crampons over them. Personal: What makes you tick? What makes you climb? I am uncontrollably drawn to climb. I follow my intuition. ]]> Wed, 30 Nov -001 00:00:00 -0500 4274 0000-00-00 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/4274_deanpotter1_1271365194.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/4274_deanpotter0_1271365017.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/4274_deanpotter2_1271365017.jpg http://fiveten.com/athletes/jt-holmes http://fiveten.com/athletes/jt-holmes What attracts you to BASE jumping: It is obviously fun to fly in beautiful places and feel the acceleration and speed. Even more than that, it is the journeys in the mountains that keep me coming back. Hiking with friends, and the adventures and challenges that are associated with finding a new place to fly are the biggest allures for me. Favorite BASE: Bodalsfjellet, in Stryn Norway. Favorite Five Ten shoe: Exum Guide. ]]> Wed, 30 Nov -001 00:00:00 -0500 4257 0000-00-00 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/4257_jtholmes0_1271364805.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/4257_jtholmes3_1271364805.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/4257_jtholmes1_1271364805.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/4257_jtholmes2_1271364805.jpg http://fiveten.com/athletes/suz-graham http://fiveten.com/athletes/suz-graham Born in Canada and raised in Salt Lake City, Suz was raised in the outdoor lifestyle.

El Capitan is my favorite cliff because of the many routes, height, and accessibility. I’ve climbed El Cap 68 times by 53 different routes and hold 23 speed records on it, including 11 first one day ascents. Like most Yosemite climbers I also dabble in slacklining and highlining and have pioneered a handful of highlines over the years.I also BASE jump and fly a wingsuit. My two favorite sports, rock climbing and BASE jumping, are an amazing compliment to each other.

"It's skydiving in your face," Jeff describes. "Swooping combines high-performance aerobatic maneuvers while diving toward the earth at maximum speed, ending with precision landings." Smiling, he continues, "It's like driving a Ferrari as a parachute."

My first climbing trip to Yosemite as a teenager led to a lifelong love affair with the place. I'm lucky to call Yosemite home, and to use it as a training ground for adventures around the world.
