Another fantastic Rifle Summer Camp season in the books! Highlights include checking a big one off the life list (Zulu 5.14a), and taking home THE BELTS for the coed category at the Day at the Office comp with the best Rendezspew partner you could ask for @brenghis_khan 🤟

Thanks @emily.korth for the first three pics, @morganfbradley for the last two, and everyone who made this season so dang special! Til next time! by @roaboat23

Super grateful to have been a part of the first ever Rifle Party for the Park!

We spent an evening in the Ute Theatre in downtown Rifle celebrating the mountain park with a showing of Pretty Strong and a panel including the mastermind @etteloc, absolute crusher @sheneenagins, and legends Mike Schneider and Jeff Achey from the Rifle Climbers’ Coalition. Thank you so much everyone who came out and all the folks who donated to the cause! Rifle is a really special place, and I’m super lucky to have spent two summers in Rifle Summer Camp ⛺️❤️

And if you find yourself in Rifle, don’t sleep on the town! You’ll find kind folks, great food, and beautiful public spaces within the Rifle city limits!

Shouts out my man Josh at @inside.independentworld for putting the whole thing on. Psyched for next year! taken in Ute Theater & Events Center / New Ute Theatre Society by @roaboat23

EVERYONE! Do yourself a favor and go climbing in The Philippines! 🇵🇭🧗

I got to experience 2 days of climbing in Cantabaco, Cebu, and it truly was one of the best limestone areas I’ve ever seen. Thank you to @doc_flu, @another_john_is_gone, @cebudogtrainer, @chronicclimber and everyone who made me feel at home, the community is incredible and it’s only getting bigger! Here are some highlights:

1: The view from the top of one of the wildest 10d pitches I’ve ever done.

2: White Flower, an absolutely incredible pitch of 13a. Threader mono’s, bomber tufas, and the best white limestone I’ve ever seen made for an unforgettable line 🎥 @chronicclimber

3: A wild campus move on a mega classic, Blackfoot 12a @cebudogtrainer

4-7: Crag viewwwwsss (10 minute approach from the hostel, which is $5/night)

8: I also got to check out The Boulder Hive @bhiveph in Manila, and I was blown away! The setting, hold selection, and wall set up were prime; if you find yourself in Manila be sure to check it out!

9: An especially fun set from the session!

DM me if you have any questions about booking a trip of your own, I highly recommend it! 🇵🇭 taken in Cantabaco, Cebu, Philippines by @roaboat23
