This summer (winter in the southern hemisphere) I went to the world famous bouldering area called Rocklands in South Africa. My goal was to improve my bouldering performance and I ended up surprising myself. Dive in for the full story!

Nepal. Ama Dablam

Ama Dablam is known as one of the most impressive mountains in the world, not for it's altitude, but for it's beauty, aesthetics and the pure exposure encountered high on it's flanks.

Grampians/Arapiles, Australia

The "Gramps" and "Araps" are world class climbing destinations. The Grampians has amazingly bold sport climbing and awesome bouldering. Mt. Arapiles has routes that go as far back as the beginning of climbing in Australia. Bold and hard.
