I noticed via a friend's Facebook feed that the IFSC World Cup Bouldering is happening in Canmore, Alberta right now.  Elise Sethna is a young star climber that has been representing Canada at the international level for a few years now, and without a doubt in her home town of Canmore this weekend! So I thought it was fitting to put up a few photos of her I shot a couple years ago. Good luck Elise!

The December 2010/January 2011 issue of Gripped Climbing Magazine has a couple of my pretty pictures running it. The climber in both is my good buddy Dale Sood who managed to string a couple sentences together (and very beautifully so) and craft a great article about training toward goals in your climbing. Have a look/read. It should be on the stands now.

Here are the photos:

Also, here's a link to Dale article which you can ready online on Gripped site:

Good job Dale! Let's work more together!

I'm so excited to be living in Vancouver, and checking out all the potential for outdoor adventures in the area. It has been almost a year since I've been in Squamish, and I was super excited to head back up there and shoot some sport climbing at Fern Hill. Good people, good area, and in the shade for a good part of the day. Squamish sport climbing seems to be an untapped gem, although perhaps also oxymoronic to some, and the people developing new areas talk about them with genuine enthusiasm.

Anyway, here are some photos from Fern Hill. Squamish local Peter Winter at home at Fern Hill, on Burning the Coil 12d (or harder depending on who you ask).

And Dale Sood developing a new route at the same crag amidst a cloud of lichen dust.

See you in Squamish this summer!

Some early season spring bouldering images for y'all before the Niagara Glen limestone gets nice and sweaty like yo' mama's back. Get at it while the friction is good. Thanks to the boys and girls for throwing down on this day. It was fun!
