A huge thank you to Lyla and Chris for taking the time to work with FORCE BLACKGOLD and helping us improve and develop our technical elements! 🖤💛

Your knowledge, corrections, and guidance are incredibly valuable as we continue pushing ourselves to the next level.

This is only the beginning! 🔥 Soon, they’ll be back with us to help BLACKGOLD work on new skills and technical elements. We’re excited for what’s coming next! 💪✨

Thank you for being part of our journey! 🖤💛

A little short film from our Colorado + Northern New Mexico summer 🤍

We’re pretty lucky to call this corner of the world home—and even luckier to spend our days wandering around it.

We climbed and camped in all these beautiful areas - Boulder Canyon (CO), Shelf Road (CO), Penitente (CO), The Promised Land (CO), Clear Creek Canyon (CO), Tres Piedres (NM), El Rito (NM), and Comales Canyon (NM)

We also made our way through Eldorado State Park (CO) + Rocky Mountain National Park (CO). And got to spend some time with @jseiv13 and his family 🤍

Grateful for a strong, capable body, wild places to explore, and a little family to share the adventures with. Here’s to many more miles, climbs, and stories.

🖤🖤🖤

Get ready for four days of learning, connection, adventure, and memories with the incredible Desertfest community that has helped make the last five years so special.

Full informational packet, pricing, registration details, and event schedule will be released July 15th.

Important Attendance Information:
