Malcolm Creed

Malcolm has climbed 5.13 on four continents, guided on Denali, and torn both labrums. Now fifty-three and climbing 5.11 on a good day, he writes about the long arc of a climbing life with the bruised tenderness of someone who knows exactly what he's lost and wouldn't trade any of it. His monthly column 'The Long Send' is the only thing in climbing media that regularly makes people cry.
