STARTED CLIMBING JULY 2024

SLIDE #1 - DECEMBER 2024
BROKEN ELBOW AND TORN TRICEP FOOTAGE
About 6 months in from where I started (DECEMBER 2024) , I was working on my 2nd v9. Was 5 days on, got to the last move of my project, punted, landed horribly. Took me out for 6 whole months, no climbing, no hangboarding, couldn’t do anything. Although I learned to spend my time on other things such as watching film, hanging with friends, and other random hobbies.

SLIDE #2 - DECEMBER 2025
PULLEY INJURY FOOTAGE (if you turn your sound up and listen you can kind of hear the crack).
This injury occured about 6 months after coming back from my first injury. I was stronger than I ever was and then I got a pulley on fucking Ben Yart @50 V11, the stupidest shit ever. Right before the pulley I recently had pneuomonia, which I think made my body more prone to injury. This injury didn’t really take me out, although it did make me deload a bunch. I was out for a week, and then was deloading on random things on kilter. I was a fucking chud for about most of January 2026 on the kilter board. But luckily I took recovering well and am about 90% healed to current time now (February 2026).

Rocky climbing career so far but I am starting this account as a document of my climbing progression + the deeper journals and thoughts of fun or important sends. Account made February 10th 2026 by @chalkeyez

dayflash on this pink 9 - amazing sesh w my boy sai, we both started outdoors at gsf, and my intent was to relearn angers entirety, specifically the last move. its been about 3 months since the last time i tried anger, and i went into a stump where i completely forgot how to do the last move, and also got my pulley shortly after that. but today i did the last move first try, and didnt fail to do the last move for my goes after. i spent only an hour at anger with the intent to have a fresh start of knowing the boulder and knowing not to waste gas and damage my mental, everything about my body feels stronger than i used to be, its just my fingers aren’t completely at its original strength, but i am planning to start working anger and the psyche is super high for me to send it and get my fingers to where theyre supposed to be.

after the outdoor sesh, sai and i walked into benchmark, went straight to the 9 and send train day flashed it 😂. by @chalkeyez
