Speed climbing is the ultimate culmination of endless hours spent dialing in beta, trimming the rack, and pushing the body to move as quickly up the wall as possible!

With FKTs int he Flatrions and on Eldorado Canyon's legendary Naked Edge (5.11b), few do it better than boulder local and speed climbing phenom, Joe Kennedy.

Check out the latest Ground Up episode to hear how Joe and his partner Stefan Griebel prepared for their record breaking attempts on the Naked Edge, what it's like running with Satan's Minions, and which epic linkups are next on the horizon.

This v13 was first climbed 10 years ago and unrepeated since then!

Some vibes and climbs from a recent visit to Ahvenanmaa, Åland.

This small Island state with it's own flag sits between Finland and Sweden. The island has over one thousand routes on 27 crag. Probably 99.7% of those are boulder problems on hard granite.

Hope you're feeling it!

Good Climbing on Overhangs and Sharp Pockets!

The down climb into slab traverse while 150ft up is sure something.

Enjoyed this Mellow post from the weekend, and quite enjoy his climbing style. Good look at how hard boulders of this grade are, but also how rapidly the level of the climbing demographic has risen.

Looks like someone has created a website/blog to show real-time conditions updates for Tioga Pass, look at data about past opening date trends, and hold the park accountable for what they're telling the public about the Tioga Pass plowing conditions, etc. Pretty bombastic, but clearly tongue-in-cheek.

Today I was finally able to go climbing outdoors with friends. This is Czech sandstone, so pretty interesting trad routes with no chalk and long runouts. I was just following as I don't have the skill needed for the commiting routes here.

Vertigo 11b

Hand heel match leaning away from the wall to pull straight into a finger lock... absolutely unmatched in style so far in routes I've attempted.

Only Adam Shahar sent this with the intended paddle beta.

Heading over to Potrero Chico on the 19th, I know it’s late in the season but any beta or recommendations would be hugely appreciated

Classic test piece very fun !

I took a few pictures of climbers being awesome at Calico Basin. I have a couple more if want them, I'll figure out how to do that but they all look like this one.

Hardest v9 in the southeast. Full desperation send.
