Water Weight v6/7 , Powerlinez NY
This climb has been with me since the beginning.
Powerlinez was the first crag i ever climbed. Water weight was one of the first boulders i ever saw and thought “thats impossible”
Fast Forward almost 2 years later , 3 sessions across 4 months. Its done. Yesterday was my first climb of the season. After maybe four attempts at the climb i took a break. I changed my shirt and took a leak , and just like Charlie Schreiber when he first established the climb i lost the water weight and i sent the climb.
This truly was quite the milestone for me in climbing. A moment to look back and think about how far i have come in the two short years. The awesome experiences i have had and the amazing people i have met. All because of this wonderful thing called climbing. Hitting that final top was nothing short of euphoric, so much so i found myself crying at the top.
Can’t wait to send some more cool stuff 🖖🏻
Black Tag ♠️ v8-v9
SOO happy I sent this climb. Rail thin crimps with sloped feet and a pretty demanding top make for a fun techy outdoorsy/board like climb , with little to no over hang this makes for a nice approachable black tag . Not too hard and not too soft.
I ended up matching on the crimp that is normally where you should cross through with your left but finding the high left foot after that move had me feeling stretched out and weak so i found matching to be FAR easier and controlled, although a lil less steezy. ʅ（◞‿◟）ʃ
Also that fall at the end beginning was gnarly lol
Vital LES Pruple Tag 👾 v6-v7
Definitely on the softer side, but extremely fun extremely flowy climb. Super my style love dramatic moves on crimps and a epic drop knee in there ! MORE OF THIS THX
GP-81 Red point boulder 36/50 , tagged as v7 on the 45° wall
Epic climb that unfortunately i did not get the send during the comp, however was super stoked to come back a few days later and got the day flash ( ^ω^ )
Very flowy climb with a lot of tension in the mid section , fairly friendly holds with cool moves
Purple Tag 👾v6-v7
sent this awhile back and hadn’t seen really anyone else try or post this , so thought i would re send for a video as it’s a cool little slab with a trusty dyno that feels cool to stick !
Black Tag ♠️v8-v9
Soooo hardest part of this climb for me was dabbing i guess lol , i don’t really think the second go was a dab but bothered me enough that i sent a third time lol.
Cool climb overall , feels incredibly hard until you find the right body positions and then feels weirdly easy. i’ll try to stop posting slab and find more flashy stuff to send lol.
Also shout out to @rt.vertical used his beta for the end section and felt v good ^_−☆
Black Tag ♠️ v8/v9
I think i secretly enjoy slab lol, i find foot work like this to be very fun and my style. Sent this in one sesh and only maybe 10 or so tries ! Defo soft for the grade , at LES this would have been a purple tag, i feel they set slab much more in this style consistently over there !
I didn’t and still don’t really have any indoor grade goals for this year but happy with the amount of black tags im putting down !
Black Tag ♠️ v8-v9
woooooo!! another black tag for me , of course this one is on the softer side and i am skipping a pretty gnarly crimp in the first few moves, but really like my cool toe hook beta going on down low with a nice flashy cut move in the middle !! Took like two sessions.
also if you look hard enough i dry fire crazy hard off my left hand on the last bad sloper towards the top. luckily caught the crimp just in time lol

This is one of the harder purple tags at vital right now. Took a few sessions and maybe 6 or so burns today to actually go. Really pumpy start with just straight ceiling climbing. Knee bars and heel hooks to stay up on okay crimps.
You get a great knee bar rest halfway through and then it’s a handful of pretty powerful tension heavy moves on sharp crimps. Great test of energy and strength for a purple tag.
Purple Tag 👾 v6-v7
Reallllly enjoying crimps as of late , my fingers on the other hand aren’t lol. Happy with the send on this crimpy outdoorsy climb. Techy drop knee with a crispy heel hook all on a nice crimp ladder. My kinda of shit. Would have have loved a “cleaner” send but no re sends for my fingers sake.
You can tell at the end i was fried lol , i need to let the inflammation in my fingers chill out , but the idea of days off is not it. I like climbing toooo much :p
BETA BREAK Black Tag ♟️ V8-v9 @vitalbrooklyn
This Beta break by @_max_climbs_ makes this v8 feel more like a v5 lol. Not sure what i think of that. Took three try’s , the crux is the break going up left skipping 3-4 moves. This climb probably needs some reevaluation on the grade or setting? 🤔
