Dave
Dave Altman is a self-described hermit who ventures out only so often to maintain the weight room at Berkeley Ironworks and to teach outdoor classes. Dave has been climbing for as long as anyone can remember and he is a fixture at Indian Rock. His mathematical prowess is almost as well known as his strength. He can bench 240 pounds while explaining how Wiles' proof of the semistable case of Taniyama-Shimura implies Fermat's Last Theorem.
