The climbing community is AMAZING!

Lucie & I spent the last week at the world's largest bouldering festival in Val Masino, Italy...aka Melloblocco šŸ‡®šŸ‡¹šŸ¤Œ

From sharing crash pads, car rides, beta, and good vibes, this event wouldn't be the same without stoked climbers like you.

And to make things even more special...several folks recognized us from our YouTube videos!

We are so grateful to know our videos inspire you beyond the screen. Stay tuned for a Melloblocco video soon šŸ”œ

Wow, what can I say. First off...a warm welcome to everyone who is new around here!

I've been working hard behind the scenes to brainstorm ideas for content that will resonate with the community I'd like to build on this channel.

February started off with reaching the first milestone of 3,000 watch hours in one year, but I never expected to blow that out of the water and see such huge growth over the last month. It's kinda mind-blowing to be honest.

And none of that would be possible without you. Thank you!

Now keep climbing out there ā™„ļø

I still can't believe it! 🄹

Did you know that this channel dates back to 2006 when YouTube was in its beginnings?

I started creating videos in high school when I was a gymnast. Making content that not only captures memories in time, but provides value to the community has always been a hobby.

At the end of last summer, I set a goal to upload at least 2 long form videos per month with no real expectations. Did I go viral? No. But I almost doubled the engagement on this channel!

And that wouldn't have been possible without YOU! Thank you all for your support. Here's to more growing, learning, and creating šŸŽ„

THANK YOU to everyone who shared their perspective on my latest poll šŸ‘

I was struggling with how to best present the video I created about climbing one of Chris Sharma's king lines. After seeing your opinions, I decided to upload the content as ONE LONG VIDEO versus two short videos. The entire raw bouldering process from start to finish is all in one place.

See it here šŸŽ„: https://youtu.be/TiOlxxDvGyE

I NEED YOUR HELP! šŸ‘‡

I recently climbed one of Chris Sharma's king lines here in France and filmed the entire process to show the frustrations, successes, and a few other nice boulders. I'm almost ready to share with you all 🄳
