Action In Solitude

I first met Alton Richardson when he interned at Climbing Magazine a number of years back. He was a quiet person and we didn't talk much. So I learned quite a bit about him when he stopped by my old apartment in Boulder. We talked about his upbringing outside Oakland, CA as a skater-punk kid that also participated in Boy Scouts (an unusual combination), how interning at Climbing Magazine helped his career, what he enjoys about his route setting job at Ascent Studio in Fort Collins, what it takes to be a freelance photographer and videographer, what's going on with California Climber, which he started with Dean Fleming, and vanlife. Enjoy!
