Colin Haley Tracing the Edge 2/3

How do you fulfill the dream of a lifetime? Do you have to be the most athletic or the strongest? Maybe it’s just a matter of connecting the dots. For the climbing community, it’s easy to put a climber like Colin Haley on a pedestal, to explain his talent as raw athleticism, genetic predisposition or even as perverse underestimation of risk. Yet Colin is keenly, almost painfully aware that his raw talents may not match up to others in the climbing community. It’s his ability to stand atop one peak and see the next, to connect each Cascade peak, each distant range and put it into a bigger picture.
