The World’s Strongest Weekend Warrior.

Watch or listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube or your favourite podcast place 🎧

In this episode Eliot chats to Sam Weir and American climber now living in Chamonix, France. Sam is a dark horse of the bouldering world, you’ve probably never heard of him but he has climbed multiple 8C+/V16 boulders. Eliot and Sam chat about his process and approach while projecting as well as his approach to training. Unlike many world class boulderers you see these days Sam has a full time job as so fits in all his climbing and training around this. We feel this is something many of you will be interested in as you too also likely work regularly and have to fit your climbing in around this. This is a very interesting and varied conversation.

Is V15 even news anymore? Fifteen 8C's in 30 odd days and I still think I missed a few. New to the gram but I'm thinking I'm gonna be doing one of these every week. Everybody cool with that? News show Mondays and Fridays on the YouTubes!

The theme of Ticino recently has been rain and bad skin!

Between the spells of horrible weather and soggy skin, I’ve managed to climb some rad boulders! A few days ago I sent “Midnight Lighting of Ticino” (v10) and yesterday, after a session on arrival, I managed to fire the sit start (v13). I even managed to flash the iconic Brione classics “There is no Spoon” (v7) as well as “Forever More Sit” (v12). Spoons is certainly one of the prettiest slabs ever! The trip hasn’t been exactly what I hoped for / expected, but it’s still been amazing!

My main goal, coming into the trip, was to push my limit and understand what it would take to climb “Arrival of the Birds”. But, I’ll speak more about that in a future post. For now, all you gotta know is that it’s hard as fuck and inspiring!

Here’s to a dry last couple of days!

💎 VERSACE, 8B 💎

After wrapping up on Amber, we made our way down to the river to meet a few friends and take a look at Flash Flood. The shade settled in, the temperature dropped… so Janja climbed Frogger and Fake Pamplemousse to get the blood flowing again.
Once @melissaleneve arrived, they started working Flash Flood together. Calm focus, shared laughs, and that natural teamwork that happens when two strong climbers read a boulder side by side.💪 But just as the promising attempts were lining up, a cut on Janja’s finger made it clear that continuing on crimps wouldn’t be smart.🔪

So we shifted plans to something more skin-friendly: Versace.💎
They walked through the moves, compared beta, felt out the small details… and then, almost quietly, Janja switched into that unmistakable mode she’s known for. A few tries to map the tension — and then one smooth, controlled, almost effortless attempt. Precision everywhere. Flow from start to finish. No theatrics, no noise — just the kind of climb that reminds you why so many consider her one of the greatest of this era.🐐 By the time anyone realised she was on her send go, she was already smiling on top. Moments like that say more than any celebration could.🙂
Melissa came incredibly close as well✊️, and we all ended up cheering along the riverbank. Just pure, good energy — the kind of motivation that only really happens when strong climbers push each other in the best possible way.

After that, we called it. The skin was done, the light fading, and the story of the day already written. In the end, it wasn’t just about the sends — it was about adapting, supporting each other, and watching two world-class athletes bring out the best in themselves and everyone around them.
Now it’s time for Janja’s finger to heal. Once the skin is ready again, the next chapter will come😉 — hopefully before winter fully settles over Ticino. ✨
