Got the chance to spend a day out at Paradise with my dear friend Ethan Morf. It was special to see a little glimpse into his process with this one. What once was a test piece for him physically became an experience of letting go, coming to terms with his motivation and why he showed up, time and time again.

Something I have come to realize too with projecting, when you are getting close but it isn’t falling into place, is how special it is to get to show up and try one more time. Something that sending, in a way, takes away. In Ethan’s own words: “I felt lucky to get another chance to try hard on such an incredible piece of stone.” And later, “I had finally realized that I wasn’t there to send. I was there to enjoy rock climbing.”

Ultimately, when he was least chasing the outcome he found himself at the chains. Reflecting on it afterwards, he said, “the process had been 99% of the fun. I just hadn’t realized it.”

Anyone who knows Ethan knows he is no one to spray, and while this huge accomplishment is worth celebrating, the grace with which he climbs and shows up for the people around him is what inspires me.

Huge should out to the folks at @oatequipment for making some dope ass gear Ethan and I have been fortunate enough to test out on rock! Go check them out!

Big shout out to @deadpointclimbingco for their bomb ass chalk

I had a really special experience living life in Squamish this summer ❤️
•
This was my third summer spent climbing the incredible Squamish granite, and enjoying the long sunny days by the oceanfront. My first two season were incredible, but there was just something about this year that really made it feel extra perfect.
•
Over the last year, I’ve made so many new friends and really feel like I’ve been fully welcomed into this amazing community. It’s been an amazing experience, and has me feeling so full of love as we head out of Canada and start making our way back to Yosemite!
•
These were a few of my favorite moments -
1) Classic Chief parking lot hang with @rell.lennox & my mini me (Aspen)
2) My friends threw me the most amazing birthday party 🥳
3) Birthday Dance Party 💃
4) Getting my ears pierced for my 10th birthday!@squamishpiercing
5) An amazing crew for our race up the Apron (and we didn’t come in last!)
6) Everyone at the top of the Apron after the race
7) Building drift wood shelters on the beach ☀️
8) Me and my baby brother Mason, he’s almost six months old already 🤯
9) My first highline experience with @winterlove007
10) Then I was in the local newspaper!
11) I got to drive a boat all over Howe Sound
12) And got my first ever sailing lessons! @squamish_watersports ⛵️

All this just to say… Thank you!!! Thank you so much to everyone who put in effort to make my time special, every bit was noticed and appreciated more than you know! ❤️

Cochamojate 2026 -estilo familiar-

Me tome un tiempo en publicar esta aventura, la verdad es que el tiempo da perspectiva y eso me gusta.
Además no tenía ningún apuro. También disfruté de compartir y ver las fotos con mis seres queridos todo este tiempo.
Comenzamos el viaje con varios contratiempos (mecánicos sobretodo) pero los fuimos solucionando y todo indicaba que cada día es perfecto y que todo pasa por algo.
Nos fuimos relajando y entrando “en viaje”.
En un principio me interesé en ir subiendo historias más o menos cronológicamente del viaje, hasta que me di cuenta que no tenía sentido alguno debido al nulo o extremadamente caro WiFi y la excelente conexión y calidad humana que encontré en el valle.
Todo era perfecto. Estaba en el paraíso mismo, acompañado de mi familia, con mis amigos, divirtiéndome a lo loco, escalando y viviendo el momento presente en un marco natural y rocas exuberantes! Que lugar Cochamo!
Por suerte ya lo había conocido en dos ocasiones anteriores, 2006 y 2008 y había tenido la suerte de vivir y escalar mucho de su estado más salvaje y remoto.
Ahora, no dejaba de asombrarme de lo limpio que se encontraba el lugar pese a la cantidad de visitantes y la “publicidad quemadora de lugares “, sin responsabilidad ambiental , a las nuevas tendencias mediáticas - sociales, marketing de atracción de turistas y sumadores de likes y seguidores poco auténticos!
Simplemente, en mi opinión, hay muchas personas que no tienen nada que hacer ahí.
Más allá del torbellino de turistas me quedare siempre con el recuerdo de lo compartido con la comunidad internacional de amigos y escaladores con las que tuve una verdadera relación personalizada y no a través de pantallas.
El reseteo mental fue absolutamente revitalizador. Se los recomiendo.
El fortalecimiento cognitivo-energético, el enriquecimiento personal basado en relaciones puras y auténticas, manteniendo vínculos y charlas cara a cara por el mero hecho de interactuar con distintas personas, es algo superior digo de vivir en estos tiempos.
Gracias a todas las personas con las que pude compartir y charlar en esta aventura.
Cochamo por siempre!
Nachor
