Feeling luckissimo today having gotten this doodle from @martinyellow.bsky.social on their stream last night~! Take a look at those PAWS!! (Or those TALONS... Or both... I am not picky~)

I have been really lucky to be able to abuse my height to simplify a lot of hard boulders recently - I had particular fun with this one because I could only get it on my tippiest tippy toes! (And it was still really hard for me lol) #bouldering #climbing

I hear climbers mysteriously talking about "just trying hard" to do a move a lot, but I think I am hitting the point in my climbing where I kinda get it! I wish I hadn't needed to try literally twice as hard on this hand flip because I missed the foot, but lesson still learned LOL

Y'know maybe the algorithm is right sometimes actually

Today's climbing clip ought to have an audio track of my thoughts going "OH GOD I AM FUCKEDDDD" when my foot exploded off reaching for the top of the wall... Thankfully you can't hear that so I can just go ooooh look I flashed :>

Secretary bird nepotism time!?

Rarely do I send something with so little energy that I swing off the down climb - this was limit!! Loved doing a big fun thigh squeeze though :)

An obituary for my crocs: Thank you for being the first pair of shoes I wore down to literally nothing - you guys rock and I forgive you for letting rain and snow soak my socks occasionally because that was at least part my bad

Really excited to share this power boulder I managed - a year ago I never thought I would be able to do this sort of style! For my non-climber friends I would define this style as any climb where I slap a hold and make a loud noise LOL

Oh no! My beloved family installed That Pile Of Waist High Rubble That Means You Can't Go There from DarkSouls (tm) in our basement :(

I recently learned I could take way better climbing videos just by using a different setting and have been looking for a good climb to show it off on... Unfortunately I haven't done anything graceful since then so have this LOL

And just to reinforce that I don't post about anything else, another overdue #climbing clip! This time I'm showing off working on more upper-body/campus style boulders and moves! The fall shows that I'm obviously still not great at them, but the flowey feeling of working them has been a blast!

NEW ADORABLE PROFILE PIC JUST DROPPED!!!! And with it my eternal debt to my love @kriscritter.bsky.social deepens :) To make it make sense that my sona loves to climb even as a bird his lore is that his wings are too small to fly with but he still wishes to go skyward~

Did I probably subvert the crux by being tall? Yes. Is it a little soft as a one move wonder? Yes. Did I have to crimp the edge of a sloper to make it through? Yes. Was it still my first white tag (the hardest at my gym)? Yes!

I haven't posted in a hot second but we are still at that climbing grind!! Illness and other hobbies syndrome took brief hold of me, but I've got a few new climbing projects on my radar! In the meantime I wanted to share a super fun bouncy black climb I worked last night!

The bouldering comp results are out! Because I don't wanna make it trivial to find me, I won't say my exact place - but I was just outside the top 10 of 76! I didn't manage 3 boulders, but I flashed 17 of the 21 that I did! Shoutouts to @kriscritter.bsky.social for their huge support too!!

Working on my flashes to save skin and got a ~v5! I'm happy with the solution I had for the crux here - using my span to make a hard cross over move into a less hard cut loose! Had I paid attention to the volume I could have used as a foot it would have been even easier, but a flash is a flash lol

I've got a climbing competition coming up at the end of the month, and I've got a real tendency to always move dynamically to far away holds even from difficult positions to generate momentum in. This final hold taking me ~15 attempts to secure was a good teacher in this lesson LOL #climbing

I thought I'd start with this little project that wasn't too bad except for the final match - I've been working on trying betas that take advantage of my longness, hence the toehook splits here instead of a big flag to handle the swing from matching! (I could barely hold it though lmao) #climbing

Did my first outdoor climbing in a full year yesterday! Where last time around I couldn't really even start a V2 (pictured!), this time around I was able to get a V3 and a V4 (not pictured!)!!! It was hugely motivating after a period of less regular climbing for me and just,,, I LOVE CLIMBING!!

LOOK IT'S ME LOOK HIM LOOK HE'S HERE NOW AND WILL BE PINNED SO YOU CAN KEEP LOOKING AT HIM!!!
