Climbing stuff

I maintain this page with a bunch of bouldering problems for the Cornell climbing wall If you ever dreamed of climbing and you are in Cornell - check it [the wall :)] out!
I do climb a lot these days... There is even some material evidence here.

Biking

I become addicted to biking while i was studying in Saint-Petersburg. When I was there rode a little bit with people from VeloPiter, this was useful to assure that i am not the only one addicted. In Ithaca i usually ride alone or with couple of friends and sometimes with COC'ers.

[07-04-03] I managed to reach one of the great lakes on the bike. It was cool!

Skiing.

I maintain ski announce mailing list. The purpose of this list it to announce who goes [wants to go] where. I don't know how long it will last but perhaps at least this season. Drop me a line if you want to get on it. Downhill turns out to be quite a popular sport in our village - one can often see some well-known faces on the local hills. Speaking of local hills, sometimes I go skiing further north, east and even west and it is really nice out there. Interestingly I had never been skiing south, probably should try it once.

If you feel that you have something to tell me, or better yet you are looking for skiing company don't hesitate to e-mail, or visit me in person.
