found under the grand illusion cave in little cottonwood canyon wood canyon.

a note was attached to the boulder that reads “Hello, my name is Portable. I am a famous boulder from Squamish. One night I became shockingly inebriated after consuming a ball of peat moss and doing several lines of Mica powder. In the deep darkness beneath the shadow of the Chief, two figures, also shockingly inebriated, approached me. They asked me where my home was. I told them “Superfly”. In darkness I existed, for an amount of time unknown to me. When I woke, I found myself in a granite kingdom I did not recognize. Surrounded by towering walls of granite I [illegible] here, gathering stories, and watching the [illegible] around me breath (sic). But now, it is time I go home. If you find me, please take me home to Squamish! - Portable”

Sent it right after this, but only after dusting off my pride.

they give a surprise if you finish this one but my feet its in an awkward position where i cant put more force, (i had best trys than this with the feet more in the middle but nothing) and the slab is non existing.

Hello! I am a rock climber coming up on a year of the sport! I’ve recently been working on moves I’m not fully familiar with (running toe hook starts, coordination moves, etc.) and one that has piqued my interest is paddle dynos!

I currently climb v7 as my push/project grade, with v8’s being where I’d like to break into! With that, I found a very fun dynamic v8 in my gym that has a paddle. I’m a big fan of dynamic moves, though, I am slightly directionless on where I am making shortcomings movement-wise. Provided this video, would anyone be open to giving feedback on where I may be making mistakes or tips you may find helpful in projecting a move like this?

Thank you so much in advance! Looking forward to chatting with yall :-)

Hi! I’m stuck on the transition to the big sloper. I need to get my right hand on the sloper and switch my left hand to an under grip. So far, if I do one before the other, I fall off. But also if I do both at the same time, I fall off lol. Would really appreciate suggestions!!

Call me crazy, but I am a board fanatic, I love the difficulty of going on the board and getting a serious struggle grabbing holds, even just volume days I find so much more fun. Just trying to find other board addicts, my personal favorite is the TB1 (even though it's not the one shown) because of how hard it is.

... hope my ankle continues to heal
Little untouched cave out near the Ocoee River TN
hope to beat my friend for the first ascent!

Fun double arete problem in Morrison Colorado! Cool use of toe and heel hooks and compression to get to the top.

hiya looking for people to come to with to bouldering gyms or active activities in vancouver bc and the surrounding areas (new west, burnaby, coquitlam, surrey, vancouver), just started a few weeks ago and want to find people who are looking to go once or maybe twice a week or do other active things like pickleball, trying tennis, trying basketball, volleyball, badminton, trying running etc.

still learning on V2s and V3s and have tried the occasional easy V4 so anyone in the range would be great so we can work on them together (:

I go to Hive Van, Hive Surrey, Progression or Approach

age, gender, etc. doesn’t matter - just looking for bouldering buddies ❤️ im in my twenties, if you send me your instagrams, numbers or discords i can shoot over a message.

Heading out on a roadtrip to Joshua tree for the first 2 weeks of November, curious of what the best boulders/bouldering areas are from anyone that has been there/around the area. I do have boulder project and use it religiously for outdoors although midwestern bouldering is quite mid to say the least so I fear this will be a different ball game.

I climb v7-8 indoor so not much is off the table in terms of what I will try. I will be coming from Ohio so any recs of outdoor boulders or good indoor gyms on the way are also welcome!

for those who helped me (or who care) i finally got this guy today 😮‍💨 thanks for all the tips and advice also hella people called me dude and bro in my last post lmaoo i’m a girl 😅 i just like basketball shorts

What hobbies and sports might scratch the itch for climbing when you’re unable to climb?

I had a nasty climbing accident a while ago and have been told I won’t climb again (Paraclimbing is out as the risk of climbing is too great sadly). I can use my legs, but cannot run, and have limited arm strength particularly on one side where I have very little use of one hand. I have always loved adventure sports, the feeling of the sun on your face as you’re high up in the mountains, and just being in nature. Looking for ideas of things that I could try and would love to hear from other peoples experiences of things that help give the same joy as climbing, which used to be what my life revolved around.

Ideally looking for an adventure sport because I’m too hyperactive for my own good! Thanks in advance for any recommendations 💛

In my quest for improvement I have been watching many videos about climbing techniques. Unfortunately I always go into the gym ready to try out what I learned (lets say a drop knee technique), but cant find many places where I can practice it in a meaningful way.

Is there a resource where I can filter for something like drop knees and see a bunch of moonboard/kilterboard/whateverboard climbs with drop knee moves? This would be nice to have for more focused practice sessions. I know I can just make up my own moves, but that feels way less interesting than a move on an actual climb someone has set.

I assume the answer is no, but I am holding out hope.

I posted this like a week ago and asked for tips I think I’ve gotten better at it.

I did not like this, Sam I Am. But I sent it anyway because everyone else was doing it. And mama didn’t raise no chicken.

Different pics of all sequences of the boulder 👀

Honestly, I love seeing the progress. This sport has been helping me so much with self confidence, and it’s good to practice with good people around too!

This little beauty is kind of a snapshot of being a developer and husband, father and veterinarian. I'll explain. I first saw this boulder on a hike with my wife. I sort of disguise my developer brain with, "let's hike on these trails," and unspoken for today was: I'm trying to find ungated roads to some boulders I found. Once I figured that was a bust I started scanning for boulders and as a result my wife would patiently wait as I ran off trail into the woods. I had done that about 5x, and she was losing patience. So, when I saw this one, I logged it in my brain to come back one day. That was yesterday. First crux was time. Sun rises at 7am and pick up time for kids at school is 2:30. I debated 3/4 of a mile extra walk or bring the chainsaw and clear an old fire road for 200 yards. Investing in the future I opted to clear the trail. Took about an hour. Then 2/3 of a mile approach with 500' vertical. Built a landing, scrubbed moss, worked on TR, then did it. Home with just enough time to get a shower, unload car and carpool.

The name comes from a test run in my job to see if there's infection and determine the proper antibiotic. My youngest thought the boulder looked like an agar plate to grow the bacteria for the test. Also it sounds like an attempt at a political statement and that irony made me smile.

Lastly, three harder problems, two of which are stunning lines. So HMU if you're into it.

I’m cutting feet so much it hurts from cringing too much !
(Also did a heel-toe cam in between the two phallic holds ; wayyy too scary, would not recommend (very stable to reach the next hold however))

Didn’t know my shoulder could rotate like that and still hold together lol but very proud I held on and finished .. also wanted the music line up better but w.e.
