I started climbing when I was 16 .I found a book at the library and I feel in love with it. I couldn’t stop thinking about climbing. I found a climbing gym called Coyote rock gym like 45 minutes from my house. I didn’t get a chance to go very often before I got my drivers license. My mom drove me there ones a week and I would stay there 8 hours a day till the gym closed and I had flappers on every finger. For some reason I really love campusing. I still do. All I would do was to try to campus every single boulder problem in the gym. I thing that’s why I have such a powerful style.
Right now I'm trying to concentrate more on my weaknesses and outdoor bouldering. I love putting first ascents at my physical limit
I found tons of new boulder problems in Val-David(my local crag) just waiting to be climbed. I Would also like to do “the Fly V14” in Rumney and the project “The super fly” beside it, Its such a nice line and my style short and powerful.
I am also planning on moving to Boulder, Co to train and live with my Girlfriend.
This week i manage to send Crazy Belly V12, In Val-David,Qc. I’ve been going to Val-David For the past 3 weeks now, to try and establish some new problems and get the second ascent of Crazy Belly. Crazy belly is a great line. Its a long problem that requires power endurence, lots of core and tricky footwork. Here’s the video of the send!
1) Who has impressed you most in this last year?
Daniel Woods
2) Describe a time when someone helped your climbing.
People help and inspire me in my climbing everyday. It can be a video I’ve seen on the internet or a new move or exercise I’ve seen someone do in the gym.
3) How do you deal with fans chasing you at all times?
That’s easy. I put on the good old fake moustache!
4) Where do you see your climbing going?
I want to concentrate on outdoor climbing more. I feel like I still have so much to learn. Outdoor climbing is very hard for me and it teaches me new tricks every time I go. I also really enjoy international competition, you make tons of new friends and everybody is so talented.
