It's a tightly knit world of clips and harnesses, of tendons and crevices. It just developed into a scene. There's really no explanation. Miguel says he didn't know climbing existed at the gorge until he met a man who was wearing loud Lycra years ago. If you had asked him then, Miguel couldn't have told you that the sport and his business would grow together.
Life is amazing.
You always have to look ahead. Don't be afraid to open any door - something good will come out of it. Miguel will make you a pizza with tofu, greens and garlic on a crust made with flax. It's colorful and unexpected, kind of like the cook himself. Miguel grew up on a farm in Portugal, where his family raised olives, wheat, almonds and vegetables, not to sell, but to eat.
