⚡It's been raining forever here in LA…. but the plastic has been good! Psyched about this boulder I set today at @boulderdashclimbing SFV ?. These are the brand new 2-tex bubble-wraps and also a bubble-wrap big wave @shapedbyfoose for @egripsholds. Thanks to Boulderdash head-setter @Mike5.9 for being the best point guard in the game and giving me first dibs on these amazing holds. Check out my plastic'n/ routesetting page when you get a chance and tag @intendedbeta #intendedbeta for a feature.

Another moon board sesh! This time I set a new problem for all y'all to try… "Black Beauty" (8B) in 3 moves. The crux involves a powerful right hand undercling move to a left hand quarter pad pinch. Love the style of climbing on this board.. raw power ??. gettin prepped for some upcoming comps and a euro trip soon. Putting in work now to hopefully reap the benefits later. ?vid @courtneyasanders @thenorthface @sanuk @petzl_official @organicclimbing @frictionlabs @gnarlynutrition @island_io

Heel hooks have always been a struggle for me… I usually try a toe first every time. Luckily I have the systems wall at @hivenorthshore to practice on! #its45degreesIswear #steeperthanitlooks #heelhookdisaster #heelhookingonjugsandstrugglinghard #americanfinish #boulder #optinside #hiveclimbing #notsquamish ?: @hamsquashe
