A little corner work. V4 with pinchy holds. Build tension with the right hand side pull and get feet up. Needs improvement, but not too bad.

V4 with an easy dyno in it. Next time, stomp that right foot and be less lazy

I flashed this V4 a week ago. Went back today to try to duplicate it. Fun, juggy little route. The big throw required a strong right foot.

Haven’t uploaded and bouldering videos in a while, here’s a fun little V4 body position problem.

I’m usually more of a climbing up stuff type of dude. But this week we decided to change it up and go down some things instead. Heavenly weather at Heavenly

Haven’t had a new top out in a couple weeks, but here’s a yellow V4 I finished off today. The start was the tricky part, after that relatively straightforward

V5. I had my feet backwards for the final move and paid the price. I did fix it on my next attempt, but unfortunately forgot to start the camera.

Finished up this overhangy V3 I had failed a couple days ago. Fun and a little swingy. I’ll definitely revisit this to try to make it smoother and cleaner

Fail #3. Trying to get my weight further to my right. Every unsuccessful attempt just brings us closer to the correct solution, right?

Failed attempt #2. I thought tucking my left foot into the hold might give me some lateral leverage. I was wrong

Fun little V4 today, took me a bit to figure out the right foot rockover, but I got there eventually

Last attempt of the day. An overhanging V3. It’s in my wheelhouse, but I climbed hard for an hour and you can see the exact moment I ran out of gas. It’s fun, so I’ll come back next time and finish it off

Straightforward V2, I did this one closely to practice being accurate with my feet.

This was the strongest V2 I think I’ve ever climbed. Technically not difficult, but very pinchy holds. My grip has weakened after my break, and I found this challenging. Also: mind that last step, it’s a doozy (be accurate when placing feet)

On site V2. Very straightforward, funky finish though

I warmed up on a Few V1 and 2, here is my first V3 of the day. Not happy with my footwork in a few places, but flashed it anyway

The weather outside is frightful, so I do what I have to do to get my miles in. Grinding them away on the trainer in my basement.
