Hikes over scree faster than a mountain goat, but still stops and gets hilariously excited about flowers, birds, and spotted skunks!

Nobody has mentioned how sexy he is!?
Not to mention being a genuinely nice dude, up for long hikes and adventures, an aversion to bailing and being a super stoked climber who personifies what it's all about and what we wish we could be while we're sitting at work.

Despite his display of questionable judgement as evinced by walking all
the way to The Sphinx he seems a good bloke and his TR's are top shelf.
On top of that he doesn't seem to hike his britches up to the point that his
feet come off the ground. Come to think of it he's much like the rest of my
Ukrainian friends - muy solid, даже молодец.

Hey V, he's the best.
Skills, motivation, great atitude, and beautiful spirit.
And he's my friend and brother of the rope. More than enough. Cheers V!

That's my favorite thing I've learned about Vitaliy. That is excellent.
Keep on keeping on, and see you out on the rock.

Did anyone mention spotted skunks?!
PS: Tony Year is being quite nice. By hiking, he means barely gets through it and waits for at least a few minutes to commit to the final slabby part. I learned a lot more about bouldering that trip. Much scarier than trad climbing at times.
PSS: my outfit sort of matches with that spotted skunk. How cool.

Hey, so, is Vitaliy an American citizen? If so, he has just the kind of mettle we need to take on the Wide Boyz. If not, that's cool too (maybe just a little less so). I'm a fan.

That outfit is a good start, but here are many even more excellent options to help you impersonate the spotted skunk while climbing.
Daniel, how do you elicit those smoldering expressions??!
