Daniel Kay

Colorado-Based Freelance Writer & Climber

Daniel is a Colorado-based climber and writer. He can be found online at thisisyouth.org, writing about whatever takes his fancy, or in the alpine, climbing spicy 5.7 trad. He enjoys international travel, mentoring new climbers, and a good flat white. Even after doing it for five years, he still really can’t recommend you get into ice climbing. It’s a pretty stupid sport, objectively.
