Dean Potter

Home climbing area: Earth Favorite climbing area: Yosemite
Claim to fame: I haven’t died yet.
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.
