Dalfonzo

Kevin has a love and appreciation for the
natural environment and has seen first hand during his almost 15
years of experience mounting biking the negative effects of poor
land management. He is dedicated to preserving our natural environment
and access to it. His friendships and associations with the other
founding members of ACSD have allowed him the opportunity to give
back a little something in return for all those days spent enjoying
nature..

Josh started as a
gym rat at UCSD but quickly found out that multipitch traditional
climbing was what he loves. Now he's often gone each weekend trying
to find another climb that's longer or harder than the one before.
He loves the outdoors, the amazing places that climbing has taken
him, and the wild adventures he's had on the rock with fellow climbers.
