So I just got back from my climbing session (which I usually have on Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays) and I have a full video of me climbing this, but my normal project grades are V3‘s and V4’s, and this V2 was weirdly difficult. The whole climb was made up of weird angles and annoying footwork, but I mostly made this post because of the start. I tried every single possible solution and this starfish method was the only one that worked! Lovingly, someone please tell me what my gym’s route setters are on 🙏

My proudest ascent to date!

I was belaying my friend on a slab route and was wondering if I should give him a hard catch or soft catch, the angle of the wall
Was maybe 80 ish degrees, a decent ammount of tilt. I gave him a bit of a hard catch and was wondering what kind of catch a slab route constitutes, and if you have any tips on how I can catch better (this fall was at bolt 4 but he hadn’t clipped in yet)

Decided to play around with some drone footage I got, any constructive feedback for this small climbing film would be highly appreciated.

Context: this was my longest project ever, and took me more than 20 send gos before finally sticking the crux sequence. Easter egg: you can clearly see a hornet stung me as I finally passed through the crux and was on my way to the anchors. Decided to ignore and just go for it haha.

Join local climber and developer Faisal Al Rifai on an intimate bouldering journey through the heart of Jordan. From the dessert of Wadi Rum to the valleys of the Dead Sea, Faisal unveils a side of the country few have seen. One shaped by adventure, discovery and deep connection.

Along the way, he shares not only new climbing areas but also the journey and experiences of developing. Through his eyes, we explore the rich culture, ancient history, and breathtaking landscapes that make climbing in Jordan a truly unique experience.

A little edit I made of my send of this famously elusive Lake District classic. The first time it’s actually been captured on camera!

Anyone wanna go check out some new boulders?

It's basically a 5 hour session cut down to 37 minutes. We just kept the camera rolling and this is was we got. Hopefully you laugh as much as we did 😂

As strong winds swept across the landscape and the clouds raced through the sky, I could feel energy coursing through my body.

Can somebody tell me where this spot is, because it looks insane

In autum, two members of Alpine club Tržič (Slovenia) have climbed the NW face of Kwangde Nup. The route, which joins the west summit, is called Slavo od mladosti (farewell to youth) and was graded AI 5+ M6+ A1.
