We head to Southern Illinois for the last outdoor rock climbing trip of the year. Ryan Wittich attempts climbing Jaybird a 5.11d, a sport climbing route on the Watchman's Wall at Ferne Clyffe State Park.

On November 11th I had the chance to photograph the USA Climbing Youth Series Gateway Boulder Bash 2023 regional climbing competition at Upper Limits Chesterfield. It was an honor to capture these young climbers in their element.

I love watching my friends rock climb. I love even more when I get to capture them sending a project they have been working on for years. In this rock climbing video we get to see Jace Lane send Taliban Soup 5.11 at Horseshoe Canyon Ranch in Arkansas for the first time.

Spring has sprung at Robinson Bluff Climbing just outside of Tiff, Missouri. We headed down on a beautiful spring morning to climb several routes on the Picasso Wall just as the green of the leaves was really starting to pop.

My rock climbing journey began in February 2022 and the goal has always been to get outside on real rock. After 10 months of climbing at the gym roughly 2 days a week, top rope certification, lead rope certification, and making new climbing friends I was able to go rock climbing outside for the first time.
