Here is another fun warm up because it seems like lately, warm ups are the only climbs I can finish. This is a straight route with one small catch. About half way up on the second feature bolted to the wall there is a real lousy under hang followed by ...

Okay, so I have to be honest, I may have cheated a bit here. You might not see it but let me explain. I’ve totally climbed this route clean before. I actually climbed it clean the first attempt. This time around was a different story.

This route is yellow but it was proving to be a white whale. I had tried and failed but this time was different. I am not a member at Salt Pump, I climb on the guest pass generously donated by Scott. The first few times on this route I wasn’t able to g...

Lately I’ve been pulling out footage from the vault of unedited clips. Well here is one from the present. This is a new route currently up at evo Portland on the auto belay near the bouldering area. It hasn’t been rated or named yet but it climbs like ...

You may remember two videos made some time ago on the pier at Mackworth Island. Well I decided since I missed going last summer that I would get out this year. My excitement was hit head on with disappointment. Let me tell you why.

On January 4, 2015 the Maine Rock Gym closed its doors for the last time. The gym has been open for twenty years and has grown to mean a lot of things to a lot of people. Before the gym closed for good, we had a chance to talk to some people climbing t...
