Back on “Realization” (9a ) Last time I was in Ceuse was 4 years ago. Forgot how savage this place is. The style of climbing works the shit out of your fingers and forearms. Stoked to be here for a bit and re learn how to sport climb 🔥. Realization is feelin good. Photos by @lenadrapella

Grand Illusion (8C /v16) 3rd asc. after @nathaniel.coleman and @steezybailey. The intro consists of compression moves on granite pinch like grips, which lead into a bicep blaster undercling section, followed by an intense right hand gaston move into a left hand undercling. After all this build up you have the crux move at the end. I fell on this move numerous times. So many times that I accepted I’d get there tired or fresh and fall. the move is powerful, off balance (due to shitty feet and a frictionless hold), and requires accuracy. Hard to do this move well after climbing a resistant 8C/v15. Props to @drewruana and other slc climbers who helped with all the rock removal to make this world class line available to us. The cave was filled in and impossible to climb before the work was done. Cheerz for that! Photo 1 @dave.burleson Photo 2 @neilson.ben

“Fight Club” (8B ) 2nd ass-ent Another stunner from Bavona. 20 moves of power resistant climbing. The first half of the climb is the business, followed by the pumpy 2nd half mental crux. FC has a perfect hold set, unique rock (mix between granite and limestone), and funky moves. Props to @shawnraboutou for snaggin the FA.

Ceuse trip has come to an end. Didn’t send what I wanted to, but tried some hard lines. Now I know how to prepare before next years trip (sport climbing is a lil diff than bouldering 😂). Overall, was great to be in such a dope place and session some of the world’s best routes. Hardest ascent of the trip was “Mr. Hyde” (8c )(pictured here). Photos @neilson.ben

“Return of the Sleepwalker”- 6/21 Film by @bobbysorich Get ready to rage 😈🔥 @mellowclimbing @thenorthface @evolv_worldwide @organicclimbing @celsiusofficial @frictionlabs
Great river bloc offering a perfect rail feature to climb. My time in the EU is up. Was awesome to revisit Ceuse and tour some areas around swiss that I had never been to before. My motivation to try hard wasn’t quite there, but at least I got to see some lines that I am hyped to return back to. Time for a mental and physical reset before entering into fall/winter season. I love the feeling of being on point and going on a sending spree, but also love getting shut down. Failure is what brings back that motivation to level up.

Think it’s time to send now… that last move 🖕 Vid by @gajdaphotography 🔥
made a repeat of this new @griffinwhiteside line in the nomad cave. Amazing flow through the steepest part of the roof. Obvious start hold to obvious finish hold. You could clip in and do the route “express yourself” (13a) instead of dropping off. I forgot my rope this day oops. Vid @tchadx 🔥
