BIG WALLS
By Dave Barnes​

Big chunks of rock in high places.

Big features and pitches where dreams are united.

Big living- Big dying. 

Big BASE jumps and Big high lines. Big fines.

Big memories for those that grew old and Big experiences for those who are young.

Ancient history Chouinard. Modern  history Caldwell. Big names. 

Big aid and Big free it doesn’t matter. 

Big canvas paintings Big photos taken. Climbers as art hanging on cliffs hanging on frames eternal from bar to shady bar. 

Big stoke for Big folks. 

Big climbing for Big climbers with Big appetites for adventure. 

Big laughter and big tears. Nothing is smaller than a human emotion on a Big Wall. The Big Stone eclipses everything and that is it’s Big appeal. 

The Biggest of all are these two. 

Big respect for all who come to try their hand at Big Wall living and big Love for those same who have dared to dream Big high on a living wall.
