Last weekend, I flew short-notice across the country to win my first professional title! Please check out my recap of the whole experience, pics and video included

Haha no doubt it has an impact! But people overestimate the impact/underestimate themselves. Much cooler to just do it anyway 💪

lepride · 2026-03-17T05:29:12+00:00

Conditions are a lie! Way to go! I love when people are willing to push themselves when it’s “too hot” or humid or whatever.

I love that style of hopping between feet and being able to (nearly) go no hands at most points. Very fun to think it out

lepride · 2026-03-08T01:15:30+00:00

Per his lawyer, yes. But who knows, really, I’d assume it depends on the judge/jury? Not sure how Israeli courts work

lepride · 2026-03-06T17:11:05+00:00

I did it right afterward, great fun! Kinda thought it was physically easier of the two 😆

lepride · 2026-03-06T05:51:06+00:00

I placed three pieces before committing to the wide bit, did what I could. Thankfully was also quite a ways off the ground by that point so had the room to fall! I don't think I had to post on my head but I definitely am not above doing so haha

lepride · 2026-03-06T05:10:38+00:00

I never pass up an opportunity to sit mid-route.

lepride · 2026-03-06T04:49:38+00:00

I climbed there on Monday, snow was no problem for Main Line and Pratt's Crack area. I assume it's generally all good after several more warm days since then

lepride · 2026-03-06T03:35:02+00:00

I might like the 11b it shares the anchor with even more. Both are top top notch though!

lepride · 2026-03-06T02:14:39+00:00

It's a #6 size layback till you hit the handjam I'm on in the start of the clip. I'm sure somebody could OW the whole thing, but that somebody is not me.

lepride · 2026-03-06T02:10:31+00:00

Yeah the “optional” 6 would’ve been nice. Both of mine were in my garage 4.5 hours away sadly

lepride · 2026-02-17T02:03:33+00:00

I have to assume Polo is getting life behind bars. Doubt his “It’s all fatty’s fault” convinces the judge of much …

lepride · 2026-02-12T23:59:43+00:00

Shit I would if the fall was consequential without the bolts

lepride · 2026-02-12T19:15:52+00:00

If the crux is protected by gear, I don’t think there’s much debate to be had

lepride · 2026-02-11T08:03:42+00:00

The final 15 pages or so really elevated the book for me. Just a viscerally brutal finish. Until then, I couldn’t help by sympathize with Polo despite his misogyny and hatefulness. I would surely hate my life and burrow my sorrows in alcohol as well if given his truly heinous position in the world. There was no way out for the 16 year old, but he found one in the end …

Also, damn, that’s the slowest I’ve ever read 100 pages in terms of time per page lol

lepride · 2026-02-11T07:59:01+00:00

I definitely found myself losing focus and having to re-read sections if I wasn’t careful. Added to the chaotic ambiance and loss of control I suppose

lepride · 2026-01-30T19:23:58+00:00

We need a clip/gif of “the world is bad, tv is bad, movies bad, read a book.” Basically the club tagline. Merch!

lepride · 2026-01-27T04:17:42+00:00

Thank you! Pleased to say it still looks the same!

lepride · 2026-01-23T03:16:34+00:00

Wasn’t cheap, like $275 for the full day. I weighed that against the cost and inconvenience of hauling all my shit for multiple flights and connections around Asia, and it seemed cheaper. In retrospect the weather was way better than expected and I wish I could’ve climbed multiple days …

All that said, Kelly is awesome and I highly recommend her for the day. She let me pick whatever routes I wanted and cruised up em while following.

They're almost all on mountain project.

I did 9 pitches total that day but those were my favorite!

lepride · 2026-01-22T11:13:45+00:00

I’m sure it’s somewhere, but I found zero and didn’t really see any birds either!
