Chain Reaction 7C/V9

Managed to put this one down in 5 sessions after first trying it on April 21st of this year. This boulder has been an absolute roller coaster of emotions to say the least everything from psych to punching my crash pads out of frustration that putting it down just felt so euphoric. Absolute beast of a line regardless though the top is scary AF but it really isn’t that bad just mental. 100% recommend this boulder to anyone looking to climb a dope crimp line V9 in the glen.

Big thanks to @stretchtheclimber for the film, coming out to try this thing with me a lot of the sessions and hyping me up.

Overall today was an absolute banger of a session lots of good laughs with the boys and a send is just the cherry on top.

Necromancer 7C/V9 ✅

2nd session on it managed to send this thing last Sunday. Unfortunately you can hear a pop in my finger on the 3rd move of the climb that will definitely put me out for a little bit. I did hear it while climbing, and remember thinking “well it’s now or never I guess”. Adrenaline is one hell of a drug to say the least as adrenaline combined with having done all the moves and sure determination and will power are the only reason I was able to carry through and send this thing. The psych for sending was kinda dampened by the pop of the finger, but with some time to reflect I’m actually really proud that I was able to fight through it and send. Not looking forward to recovery now, but it’s something I’m gonna have to do in order to get back on the rock again. Still unsure to the extent of the injury at the time of writing I’m hopeful it’s just a bad sprain, but I’m trying to see if I can get some imaging done to see the true extent. If anyone feels deterred from trying this boulder after this please don’t it’s a phenomenal line and I’ve done that move and number of times without any issue it was simply a fluke how it happened with no warning signs. These things happen it’s the unfortunate nature of climbing just have to accept it and keep pushing forward. I have no doubt I’ll come back from this stronger than before and ready to crush some more personal projects but until then it’s rehab and strength training time.

Shoutout to @iamfrancochan for the video from his camera and trying this with me both sessions and figuring out beta as well. Also to @alan_ataeimehr for figuring out some beta with me on the first session. Hope you boys both crush this the next time you’re on it.

“Careening into Chaos” V10 @ 50°
Seen @shep_dawson flash this thing and got psyched on it pretty quickly had no idea how hard it would be. Super psyched to get this one as my first V10.

Unfortunately there’s no audio but I was power screaming like a banshee at the top and you can still see my reaction.

“purgatory” 7c+/V10 @ 50° ✅

A few people call this one soft around v9 area if they’re not egregiously sandbagging. Personally though it felt like lower end V10 as I was completely powered out by the end. Feels like it’s probably a height thing as the middle sequence with the undercling would likely feel less stiff if you can more comfortably fit in the small box. Either way thought this was a really cool line.

Cowboy 7C/V9 ✅

Super cool line from my trip to Val David this past Easter weekend. When I first pulled on this thing I couldn’t even lift off the ground but with some beta tweaks and positioning tweaks the first move eventually went and so did the others. Crazy how it went from feeling impossible and as though I might not be strong enough to do it to actually doing the thing in one session on my 3rd day on climbing. The line was definitely worth sacrificing getting my pads and tarp soaked from the ice and snow still in the ground at the landing as it was genuinely a really fun boulder to try.

Shoutout to the boys @iamfrancochan and @keith.lee_ for the helpful beta and making this trip a fun one along with the great Val David locals and the other friends we ran into while down there.

Also really starting to like the @unparallelup Qubit climbing shoes felt like they did an amazing job on this boulder and the others I tried in Val. They might just be my new go to outdoor shoe.

Black Tape at the @guelphgrotto ✅. Had to come out of gym climbing retirement for this gem. Climb felt like it fit my style really well with the hints of outdoor and board style in it yet still managed to challenge me especially mentally and technically. I admittedly climbed the top horribly which lead to the power scream at the top for the match so I might try to repeat it more cleanly. Anyways yap session over. 10/10 gym climb would recommend. Now back to gym climbing retirement for me and back to the boards. #bouldering #climbing #gymclimbing #rockclimbing #indoorrockclimbing #indoorbouldering Thanks @jonatzori for the 🖕so here’s one right back at ya 🖕 taken in Guelph Grotto Climbing Gym by @jeremy.milson

“Knights of Cydonia” 7C/V9 @ 40° on the Tension Board 2.

My first session on the TB2 ever today, was definitely worth the 1hr 30min drive to @hubclimbing in Markham. Wish we had one closer to Guelph because this board is genuinely really enjoyable. Anyways thought this line was cool and did it today so now it’s on IG.

Some moderates / cool climbs from today’s session.

1.) “monkey business” @ 45° 7C/V9 Flash ⚡️
2.) “#900” @ 45° 7C/V9 3rd go
3.) “X-Games Used to Have Climbing” @ 45° 7b/V8 Flash ⚡️
4.) “The Albatross” @ 45° 7b/V8 Flash ⚡️or maybe day flash can’t remember if I’ve ever tried it before

Also day flashed “Too Small for Kevin” 7b/V8 but didn’t record as it was such a nemesis for so long I didn’t think I would do it first go of the day.

“no pogo just pull” 7C+/V10 @ 50° 2nd go today felt really strong on the board today and figured I’d give this jump boulder a go. Definitely didn’t expect to throw it down though. A little morpho though as it’s easier to be taller on this one for sure. Either way though it’s a super dope climb.

“Shouldering the Bird Den” 7C+/V10 @ 40° on the Kilter Board Original.

Put this bad boy down in 2 sessions for my second V10 on the board took quite a few attempts to learn the micro beta to do the first move consistently and the crux move. Managed to make the last go the best go for once in my life which was definitely surprising. Felt like this song would work for the send and it did my brain didn’t even register that I did it for a little bit. Overall a super fun technical and physical boulder.

“Weakness x 1” 7C/V9 @ 50° on the Kilter Board Original.

Been dealing with a finger injury/tweak in my left ring finger for roughly the past month so it felt really good to be able to send this today. Just so grateful to be back climbing boards a little more each session let alone be able to put down a nemesis project. This injury has also allowed me or more so forced me to step away from crimps and the boards to work on my weaknesses (pun intended) which has been nice. Hopefully I’ll be back to climbing boards and rock outside regularly again soon but for right now I’m just grateful for what I can do as I know it could be so much worse. To anyone reading this who has a finger injury or tweak right now know it sucks but think of it as time to get stronger in other styles and that it does eventually get better.

Also I had the worst beta at the top no idea how I didn’t punt the last move.

Also Also Glen V3
