  • As the summer season began to roll past its peak and slip into the start of fall, I focused in to work on the big link-ups in the Wolvo Cave. Ultimately after several agonizingly weeks filled close goes and epic punts, I established Distortion, V16. the caves second of the grade and possibly harder then Insomniac, V16.

    I think I will start bringing two chalk bags to every session. One for chalk, and one to leave underneath the fall point on my project for angry post-drop throwing

      I used to do this with skateboards. Skating is another very mentally taxing sport, and skaters are notorious for their breakdowns, throwing and snapping boards…. I started bringing old retired decks to the session that I could beat on instead of my actual board. Incredible stress reliever , and so much better than keeping the rage bottled up inside

    What it takes to climb at the highest level is insane. You just have to let yourself get mentally and physically abused by this piece of rock for weeks at a time to send. Great work, Drew. Extremely inspiring and humanizing video.

    I really admire your climbing, I hope that you find peace and enjoyment in the process of breaking your own limits. We climb because it is what makes us happy. You chose this job, excel at it, failure is part of the search for perfection since... it is unreachable. Keep searching, keep pushing, be kind to yourself. Great send, great video, showing yourself as vulnerable as you do requieres more guts than the actual send. Thanks for sharing and, if it happens, for reading my unsolicited opinion.

Enjoy what you do and if not: do sth else. Remember: it's just climbing up a boulder. It's of no importance whatsoever but for yourself.
