A perfect chicken head to protect my followers above a crux and before a long traverse on Olive Oil in Red Rock last week. Will we talk about slinging heads on our trad course? Absolutely not. We stick to the most practical, common, and core situations to maximize our time together. Nerding out on rare circumstances is fun but ultimately not going to serve you best on our programs. Save it for the armchair. 🤘

I know long form content is not really a "good use of time" from an engagement/eyeballs/business standpoint, but I just can't help myself. I'm stoked to provide a substantial rice and beans resource in the age of sugary morsels. That's kinda what VP is all about...

Another Top Rope Solo course in the bag! Beautiful Another Top Rope Solo course in the bag! Beautiful day at Cosumnes learning the art of climbing on your own. It's so freeing to be on your own time, climbing what you want/when you want, practicing your skills, and working on your project without coordinating with flaky (but nice) humans.

Oh and the belay is actually better than with a partner.

Rounding out the Moab #VPEast posts. After a big w Rounding out the Moab #VPEast posts. After a big wall clinic, crack clinic, and Ancient Art William popped into town. We climbed the FANTASTIC North Face of Castleton Tower (11-, 3p). Afterward William took a bonus lap on P1 of Sacred Ground (11c) climbing well despite two days slammed with physical 5.11 climbing, including 5.11 (not minus) off width and him leading 11- @ Wall Street. Williams appetite to work on his weaknesses was super impressive!
.
Since we were both headed to Red Rock together afterwards we carpooled, stopping at a hot spring along the way. Now that's service!

Looking forward to heading back to Moab in the Spring!
