🚪The Shining 🪓
📍 Upper Upper Chaos, RMNP

My second day in upper upper. Wasn't feeling my best, my power endurance wasn't great, but I really didn't want to go back up there. Dug deep and got it done.

Great session with @scounceller and @nik_0_lai. Appreciate y'all's beta, support, and psych.🤝

Ora Cogan at Thee Stork Club—Oakland, CA

Personal shows are often a fleeting thing with artists you love. So I made a trip to California with some of my favorite people to see @oracogan—one of the musicians I've listened to the most over the past 2 years.

Ora is one of those truly genre-less artists that owns her own space and continues to expand that sound from album to album.

Needless to say, it was a pleasure to see her live in such a personal setting. by @mikerosay

Font dump.

Good food, great times with friends, impeccable stone.

It was a short and sweet first visit to the forest, but certainly not the last. by @mikerosay

It’s been an exciting process bringing The Pod to life. For several years, we had a prototype sitting around the office, but it wasn’t until recently that we realized it had a real place in the Tension product line.

Some of you might remember the polls I posted recently about no-hang tools and their different use cases. The responses made it clear there was demand for something smaller, lighter, and more simplified than The Block—which, while great as an all-in-one solution, can be a bit much when weight matters.

So we pulled that old prototype off the shelf and started refining it—pushing the design to be as compact as possible while still delivering a quality experience. Along the way, it also gave us an opportunity to incorporate some distinctive branding that helps it stand apart from other tools in the category.

I’m incredibly happy with how it turned out. Huge credit to @zachgroenwald for designing the original prototype and helping bring it to its final form. He’s a wizard, and the way he consistently marries form and function is a huge part of what defines our products.

Anyway—here are a few shots from our Pod shoot. Big thanks to @rross421, @oogier, @quinnspad, and @cody_climbs for braving a brutally cold, windy day to make it happen. by @mikerosay

After years of work centered around content production, the camera slowly became more of a tool for the job than something I cared to pick up in my spare time. Recently though, I’ve rekindled that lost love for shooting just for myself — and I’m starting to feel the way I did when I first picked up a camera as a teenager.

Anyway, here are a few recent shots from the new rig. Psyched to continue posting more of this sort of thing. by @mikerosay

Two years ago @mikerosay and I eloped on the bank of Granby Lake, with our closest friends and family by our sides, the aspen glowing all around, and the full Harvest Moon shining above us. It was pure magic. ✨♥️

It’s been two of the greatest years of our nearly decade long relationship. And yes, I realize it took me two years to post wedding photos. Oops. 😅

P.S. swipe to the end for the hotboxing teepee shot 😄 by @mikerosay

This one's "Ludacris" 👀—a funky Wild Basin bloc that revolves around a rugged rip out of a completely horizonal roof.

I worked it for a good minute, refusing to use the knee bar, but alas, it was pretty forced for me to even begin to do the rip. Still pretty cool imo.

"Army of the Dead"📍Joe's Valley, UT

Though it's not the prettiest rock at Joe's, this boulder climbs phenomenally—fingery, footwork intensive, and sustained.

I had a great time figuring out the low variation to a boulder I had done over a decade ago ("Ghost of War"). It was also really cool to be able to team send it 🤝 with @kerryscott123.
