Marco Clark acquired his love of the outdoors and sense of adventure in the Rocky Mountains of Montana, where he grew up. Moving to Oregon to attend college, Marco discovered a passion for vertical terrain. To stay closer to his new environment, he found a job at the Oregon State University climbing gym and was soon guiding trips for the university adventure program. His love for unique adventure led him to spend two years in China, teaching climbing classes, learning Mandarin Chinese. He has traveled and climbed throughout China, Laos and Thailand.
