This route was taunting me. There were two dudes watching me try this and watching me fail this route. I caught two fails on camera and about six off camera. Read more

V2 | Black (MRG)
I finally landed this beast! It is only five holds to the top but the third one is a tiny red jerk. I could make it to that hold every time that I tried this route but each time I just slid right off it. Read more
5.9c | Arthur Page (MRG)
This route is a tough one in the back corner that requires a lot of wall play and lateral movement at the bottom. Once you get up to the transition, it’s a quick grab of a few small chips and then you’re at a solid top hold. For about a week, Read more
5.9d | Arthur Page
This was a bit of a technically tricky clip. I succeeded on the fourth attempt but the beginning part of the video was corrupted so I had to borrow footage of the first three holds from a before failed attempt. You should notice a different belayer at the end from the beginning (Thank you Scott and Brandon). At 975 (5.9+), this is to date the technically most difficult climb that I’ve attempted.

V3 | Crossover (MRG)
I tried several times to get this one but kept falling off. The hand holds are very directional but in the wrong direction to where you need them to be. That is why this is a V3 I guess. Read more
V1 | The Chameleon (FWL)
I’ve only ever climbed inside at a gym and always wanted to take it to the next level. I had been to Fort Williams before and noted the rock cliffs against the water. Read more
V2 | Red (MRG)
There is something about this corner of the wall and red routes. I always enjoy the red routes in this corner. This is a fun one.

5.4 | Easy as Pudding
This video was shot on Easy as Pudding located on Humpreys Ledge at the Geriatric wall area. This was an easy route once the top rope was established. The only hard part is finding the holds the first time around. All in all it was a good route and a great introduction to outdoor climbing!

Since the gym was empty today I decided to play around with some camera angles and heavier post production. Read more

V3 | White (MRG)
Maine Rock Gym recently had a bouldering wall reset. They added this nice V3 route and it quickly became my favorite project. Read more
5.8 | Marathon (MRN)
This route is one of the best I’ve ever climbed. It was a winding and difficult route spanning a doorway then climbing above it. It snaked back and forth like a river up the wall. I assumed from my initial look that it went straight up but as soon as I placed my hands on the starting point I realized why they call it Marathon. Thank you Metro Rock North for this gem!

This is a V3 Pink route at the Maine Rock Gym. It is a fun one but it gets a bit tricky after the third move. Read more
