This year I have been focusing on climbing in competitions as well as climbing outside. Since I can still compete in the ABS youth series, I have been trying to stay motivated to train for gym climbing. It is hard to maintain a sense of motivation to climb inside while the temps have been so good outside. In January, I went to the ABS Youth Divisional Championship in Tucson, Arizona. During this competition, I met many awesome climbers. The excitement level was high with all my friends and competitors supporting each-other. I...

After being in peñoles for two months, now I'm back in Mexico city, with the idea of being here for a few days. As always it is a great change to be in Peñoles, a place without a lot of people. It's very quiet compared to the city of Mexico. It's a radical change. Almost always when I'm here i finish, climbing in the climbing gym or going to sport climbing routes, sometimes equipping new routes too. But the last two years I began to develop a boulder área, one was abandoned for many years. Last year I make...

Its probably a bit late for a 2012 recap, but with most of North America still in the grip of winter, I figured those of us who live in snowy states need a reminder of what it is like to climb in a t-shirt!

I recently just got home from an amazing trip to Ibex, Ut. And Bishop, Ca. I returned to Ibex with one goal in mind, to send Wing Chun (v13) on the immaculate Red Monster boulder. Ibex is not your typical bouldering crag, in fact it is the complete opposite. Out in the middle of nowhere, and yes, i mean the middle of nowhere, the closest "town" is 45 miles away on the loneliest road in America. Highway 6/50. These boulders are home to some of the best, and most unique bouldering in the US. The boulders...

As winter unloads yet another snowstorm in the San Juans, I can't help but think of the kayak run just up the street from my house.  Here's a vid from last spring on the run.  It's a beauty and I'm really looking forward to getting on it...soon!!!  My 5.10 Savants are the perfect shoe to be creeking in.  Ridiculously grippy rubber, mesh uppers to drain quickly, and solid lace ties.  Did I mention how comfortable they are??? Cheers to 5.10 and thanks for the support!!!
