Pretty bummed to miss the fall outdoor season after busting my ankle, but I’ve been having fun on the board. Benchmarks pictured:

Had a great 2 weeks in Squamish this summer with my partner @jacqweeeee . Condition, skin, mentality, and energy management tactics required levelling up this trip. Unfortunately the moonboard doesn’t train subtleties of Squamish climbing, so I’m looking to learn more from this forest in the future! Here are three of my favourite sends from the trip:
- The Deputy v12
- Shelter v12/13
- Frontside v12 (flash ⚡️) taken in Squamish, British Columbia by @ben_agro

Zozobra (V9/10?) Lucky to have witnessed @ben_agro effortlessly flash one of the most (if not THE most) iconic boulder in the Glen. Forever impressed by these young crushers and the way they keep making hard boulders looks like easy warmups. Ben seemed more concerned that I would be disappointed if he didn’t flash it for the video than he was about his ability to climb it 😂 taken in Niagara Glen Bouldering by @ben_agro

On the last day of our trip and 5 days on, I decided it would be fun to siege Power Slave (V12) to see if I could figure it out in a session (with the freedom of holding nothing back for future sessions). Here is my last and best attempt before I split my tips!

Red Wave V10. Super fun and iconic, but painful on the right hand. Really like the starting hold. taken in Red Rock Canyon Las Vegas by @ben_agro

Meadowlark Lemon Stand (V12/13).

Such an iconic climb! Came frustratingly close to sending my first session, but a few punts on the slab and a raw tip got in the way. Thanks to @jacqweeeee @miloooooo_t @jarrett.parsons @ella.taylor.0175 for the encouragement. Stuck all the moves on the sit start, and psyched to come back for it! taken in Calico Basin- Red Rock by @ben_agro
