💥Make the Jump to V5!💥
Do you seem to be constantly stuck at V4s? Can’t figure out what it is that’s keeping you from breaking through to that V5 ceiling?

In this TWO-SESSION clinic, you’ll gain a new base fitness level, run through specific movement drills, and be given new tactics for success at higher climbing levels. V5 is just around the corner!
Includes: 2 sessions and 2 hours of instruction each. Two days of gym access.

Many of my photography projects are based on what I love. Climbing is not just a sport for me. I see it as a philosophy. It is a way to develop not only the body, but also the mindset. It teaches trust, acceptance, and the ability to find solutions under real physical and mental pressure. And just as important, climbing is about community. About family ❤️
We got really lucky to find @class5gym close to our home, but even more lucky to meet @tayraeschmeiz 🙌 As a coach of the youth comp team, she truly inspired Lev. He fell in love with climbing almost instantly 🙏❤️
Yesterday I had a chance to photograph the whole team, and Lev of course, and at the same time discovered a new playground for myself 🙆♂️😎 Shooting in vertical format adds a completely different layer of focus and challenges your perception, even when the walls are not that big.
Excited to explore more! 🙆♂️
Camera Nikon Z8, Z35mm f/1.2, Profoto B30 flashes 👌
