Hydro 8B I don’t even have the words right now. I’m just immensely proud of my self. Big shout out to the main man @davidmason85 for turning me into an animal, this boulder felt so much harder last year before I started working with him. I’ll do another post where I can actually express how I feel and my process of it. Right now I’m sat on a deck chair enjoying the sea coming back into the boulder and taking it all in. @coachnsettergav for the banging pic @unparallelup @unparallel_uk @dark_ventures @satch_climbing @tokyopowder_uk #climbing #bouldering #porridgepower #shoulderboulders

Evil sideways 8A+ ✅ I actually don’t have words to describe this feeling, after watching @climber_josh two years ago on the problem to now being able to send it! He defo motivated me and pushed me the most out of anyone. I had to go through a lot in my head over the last year and half, getting injury after injury and wanting to just quit all together, but I pushed through it all as I always do and I came out on the other side a better climber, not just physically or technically but mentally I’m in such a better place now then I have ever been. 2023 was a wake up call to change my ways and I’m glad that I went through that hell because of where I am now. Shout out to @theclimbingphysio and my coach @billyridal for sticking by me and never letting me lose hope that I’ll be back. @climbing_hannah 📸 @latticetraining @unparallel_uk @unparallelup @dark_ventures @satch_climbing #climbingtraining #latticetraining #unparallelup #satch #satchclimbing #climbing #bouldering #rockclimbing #climbing_pictures_of_instagram #climb #climbing_is_my_passion #mountaineering #boulder #sportclimbing #climbinglife

‘Mr Fantastic’ 8A/V11 ✅ - For me this one meant a lot. I have lots of words but hard to put in to a post so I’m just gonna put what I said to Josh when I started climbing and I watched him on this problem “if I get to the level to be able to climb this problem I’d be a very happy man, because that looks unbelievably hard” and I am a very happy man but am also gutted it’s over, enjoyed every aspect of the process on this one. - Shout out to @solly.k.d 📸 we both had a goal in mind of getting the climbs we really wanted to do in the same day and we both spoke it into existence, legendary quest shit right there. - @satch_climbing @dark_ventures @unparallel_uk @unparallelup @sillygoatholds - #climb #climbing_pictures_of_instagram #climbing_is_my_passion #climbinginspiration #climbing_videos_of_instagram #climbingtrip #climber #climbinglife #climbing #climbingismypassion #climbing_training #boulder #bouldering #boulderinglife #bouldering_pictures_of_instagram #bouldering_videos_of_instagram

Looking down the barrel 8A Such a good climb and a very beautiful area to climb. I’m more happy doing this boulder now because I don’t have to dig out all the splinters I have been getting from the bushes getting there 🤦🏻 Found some new beta for the end that made it easier for me using all the same holds just a different sequence that’s more reliable and less shit. I still think it sits at 8A though. @seren.weekes 📸 @unparallel_uk @unparallelup @dark_ventures @tokyopowder_uk #climbing #climbinglife #bouldering #boulderinglife

In between ops 7C+ 2 days before sending hydro I some how managed to send this test piece of a boulder, for me being able to do this puts you in a pretty good place for how strong you are feeling, which is why I probably sent hydro two days later. Happy to tick off another nemesis boulder and another example of the training working. Just want to say thanks to @theclimbingphysio for all his help, I went to see him over a month and a half ago because I was dealing with constant niggles and injuries and turns out I had a pinched nerve in my neck that was causing me so many problems, after doing the rehab for a month and half I’m really seeing massive progress in the stuff that’s weak and also seeing massive progress in my own climbing because of it. Can’t wait for what 2/4/6 months of this rehab yields. @sarah.arnett830 📸 @unparallel_uk @unparallelup @dark_ventures @tokyopowder_uk #climbing #bouldering #porridgepower #shoulderboulders

‘Orgasmatron’ 8A Really surprised my self with this one, after dealing with a illness at the start of the trip making it almost impossible to climb, I really didn’t think this would go as fast as it did. During my illness I had maybe tried to pull on three times but didn’t have the strength to be able to actually lift my body off the floor, fast forward a couple days later after a nice spa day I did all the moves in isolation and then just sent it first go from the ground, marking it the fastest I’ve climbed an 8A boulder which is pretty sick and shows me that the improvements I thought I made in training are actually true. • @davidmason85 📸 • @unparallel_uk @unparallelup @satch_climbing @dark_ventures @tokyopowder_uk • #climbing #bouldering #maltatalbouldering 🇦🇹 #climbinglife

Kirk windstein [8A] Very pleased to tick this on the last day of the trip. The stand start took me a while to do in this session but once I sent the stand I sent the sit first go. I am really pleased with this one, almost a year ago I couldn’t even get my left foot up to even attempt the shoulder move, so to see it felt easy to do this trip was a massive sign of progress with my training. It’s a shame that I’m leaving tomorrow as I feel I’m just starting to feel good on this trip. I also managed la planche 7C or 7C+ depending on who you ask for me it felt 7C and I also managed komilator 7C both of these went really quickly and I’m really happy with my execution within the 7C-C+ range at the moment. @sarah.arnett830 📸 @unparallelup @unparallel_uk @dark_ventures @satch_climbing @tokyopowder_uk #ticino🇨🇭 #ticinobouldering #crescianobouldering #climb #climbing_pictures_of_instagram #climbing_is_my_passion #climbinginspiration #climbing_videos_of_instagram #climbingtrip #climber #climbinglife #climbing #climbingismypassion #climbing_training #boulder #bouldering #boulderinglife #bouldering_pictures_of_instagram #bouldering_videos_of_instagram

Les Cliques a Claques 7C Such a beautiful fist day in Ticino, really happy to get this one on day 1, proving to be a little more challenging then I initially thought but what a banger of a bloc and another Fred Nicole classic added to my collection of boulders 👊🏼 @sarah.arnett830 📸 @unparallel_uk @unparallelup @dark_ventures @satch_climbing @tokyopowder_uk #ticino🇨🇭 #climbing #boulder #freesolly #bouldering #boulderlife #switzerland #chironico #chironicobouldering #climbing_worldwide #climbingpicturesofinstagram

Goliath stand 7C+ Nice little confidence booster before I head out to Switzerland with @sarah.arnett830 on Thursday. Feeling strong and ready for the project. All the sit moves unlocked as well 💪🏼 @sarah.arnett830 📹 @unparallel_uk @unparallelup @dark_ventures @satch_climbing @tokyopowder_uk #climbing_is_my_passion #climbinginspiration #climbing_videos_of_instagram #climbingtrip #climber #climbinglife #climbing #climbingismypassion #climbing_training #boulder #bouldering #boulderinglife #bouldering_pictures_of_instagram #bouldering_videos_of_instagram

Some sick board sends from problems that once felt impossible to me. About a month ago I became really ill and haven’t been the same since, fingers crossed I over come it soon and get back to training🤞🏼 some blood work Friday just to make sure everything is normal! “PICCOLE RIGHE” 7C+ Benchmark “Legen-Darry” 8A @50 “If chicken could talk” 8A @50 “WHISPEN ASPENS” 7C+ benchmark “HamN’Cheese” 8A @50 @unparallel_uk @unparallelup @dark_ventures @satch_climbing @tokyopowder_uk #climbing_is_my_passion #climbinginspiration #climbing_videos_of_instagram #climbingtrip #climber #climbinglife #climbing #climbingismypassion #climbing_training #boulder #bouldering #boulderinglife #bouldering_pictures_of_instagram #bouldering_videos_of_instagram

Body wisdom 8A (8b French) So so happy to finally be able to do this one. One of those niche climbs that most people would find shit, but for me this is my local crag and one I’ve always been excited to be able to do, proper power endurance test piece. Excited for how well training has been going and even more excited for Switzerland in December with @sarah.arnett830 Had a little finger scare this week but that seems to have settled and is fine now, hopefully get back on to carpenters at some point. Not bad for a boulderer 😉 @unparallelup @unparallel_uk @dark_ventures @satch_climbing @tokyopowder_uk #climb #climbing_pictures_of_instagram #climbing_is_my_passion #climbinginspiration #climbing_videos_of_instagram #climbingtrip #climber #climbinglife #climbing #climbingismypassion #climbing_training #boulder #bouldering #boulderinglife #bouldering_pictures_of_instagram #bouldering_videos_of_instagram
