I finally got the chance to go back to Red River Gorge in October. My first trip at the Red was in my worst shape ever! Now this time I made sure to be in the best shape possible. With a few hard lines in mind and my top shape after training for the Atlanta world cup, I was pretty confident I would crush!! Little did I know, all that hard work for the Opening of our new gym in September and all of my non-stop training was a little much for my body! I could feel...

2012-11-06 17.20.42The last attempt day for Punks in The Gym was descent. I had some high hopes and perhaps even some unreasonable expectations when it came to sending that route. However; after the initial disappointment of feeling of failure I came to realize that what I gained from my experience on Punks was more valuable than if I would have just sent it.2012-11-07 17.51.01I am not a mental climber yet… the head game that is required to accomplish these kinds of routes is something that can only come with lots of experience and lots of failures. Especially when it...

So my 2 and a half weeks in the Red River Gorge have now fully come to a close. I had an amazing time there and really began to better myself as a sport climber. I pushed through mental and physical barriers that I had never even encountered before and now, at the end of the trip, see so many doors opening and the possibilities are endless. While I was there though it wasn't all just sport routes. I spent one day trying a very neat bouldering project that had yet to be climbed....

In 2008, Dave Wetmore suffered a debilitating finger injury that has plagued his climbing career. After fully rupturing the A2 pulley on his left ring finger and having a rarely done reconstructive surgery, his doctor told him that climbing would be nearly impossible, especially at a professional level. After a year of rehabilitation Dave hit the bouldering scene with a new found drive. Dave set his sights on a V14 in Colorado called BIG WORM and never looked back. This is the story of Dave's experience with BIG WORM.

If you’re that kind of a ‘too serious’ climber, don’t waste your time on reading this rather humoristic approach to frivolous adventures of light-headed people. Instead, spend your time on more rewarding matters, such as campus board or studying in library about psychosomatic conditionings.

After a loooong time on the road/plane/rock, browsing some incredible place, I finally land in France and have the time to tell you a bit about the last incredible adventure rich in experience I lived in Argentinia during the Petzl Roc Trip !After a month spent in RRG, where I was really happy to rich some of my goals (50 words for pumps / Southern Smoke ) but left some others.... I took the plane direction South America : Buenos Aires. Typical city of south America, hudge, cosmopolite but at the same time poor, dangerous. I have heard some...
