I got bit by the tiniest tick I've ever seen...😢 But the climbing was great @ Rogue's Gallery.

Less travelled does not equal lower quality. A handful of "obscure" power endurance gems have been keeping me busy lately while avoiding the crowds.

@iancollmedia caught me demonstrating solid high stepping technique on Super Panini (13c) which I finished up the other day.

Got up to Bataan for the first time last weekend. The hike is rough but the views and rock quality are worth it. @dexterbateman and @zachi.watson bolted this project that looks wild. Good luck!

It's been a while since I've spent a fall season in Canada. It was great getting to hang around on the Coast and at Skaha with a bunch of good people.

Good day up at Acephale today! @becca_frangos and I both sent Leviathan, 5.14a! I had been close for a couple of weeks but then got some good beta tidbits from Becca and @mikedoyleca that locked it in for the send. Super stoked for Becca on her first 5.14! It's a proud one!

Thanks @philip_quade for coming out for photos!

Do I need to believe that I can do it? Or is it enough to be so inspired by a route that the end result doesn't matter? Sometimes routes that have started as wild aspirations have morphed into realistic objectives somewhere throughout the process. I once said that you don't need to believe you can do it... you just need to let go of the idea that you can't. That's what I'll keep telling myself. In the meantime, it's a pretty inspiring piece of rock. Stoked to spend more time sussing out the subtleties on this one in the near future.

Tufas are the game in Kalymnos. Figuring out how to climb them takes some practice. You often have to use a combination of drop knees, stemming and kneebars to make it work. It's more full-body physical than your typical face climb.

@cody.dabercrombie proved to be a total wizard at this style of climbing.

@dexterbateman tells me I've been slacking on the 'gram so I'm going to put in some effort to post more pics from my recent trip to Greece.

The season is over in Kalymnos.
.
The town is shut down for winter and only a few desperate climbers remain to paw at wet holds in grim conditions.
.
We finally jumped on the migration path and went to Leonidio back on the mainland. The town is bumping with climbers and conditions are crisp! Two more weeks before I head home.
