Motivation Monday: Five Moves to Mimic on Canadian Boulders

Climbers are swinging ice tools already, but some are searching out warm stone as long as the season allows. Here are five clips to keep you motivated from Big Rock in Alberta, on Grand Wall Boulders in BC, at Niagara Glen in Ontario, in Val David in Quebec and on Dover Island in Nova Scotia.

My first time climbing a glacial erratic ? This rock is slick! Here's Jabba Sit, V12. Stoked I got one more day to shred the gnar with some bros before the weather drops ??? @jpdelfin5000 @reblorr

Climbing is weird. This morning I spent an hour getting shutdown on v5, then I sent a new v8 in a couple goes… Here's me falling on the last move of Prime Time Sit.

When I finish my first V3 years back at the Glen I happen to set this problem as my next project. Not knowing that the one move pinch will take me this long to get! Probably one of the harder V5s here. Short and sweet! That down climb though… ?? #niagaraglen #niagarafalls #bouldering

Yesterday was probably one of the best climbing days of my life. I finally managed to get the FA on this rig. I've been working on it all summer and I'm glad it's done! Super stoked to put up an FA on Dover island. Anyways, here it is: I heel pebbles – V11. . . . #bouldering #doverisland #climbing #chalkmatters #climb #novascotia #FA #firstascent #stoked #climbnovascotia #climbing_is_my_passion #c_l_i_m_b #climbing_pictures_of_instagram #halifax #sevenbays #allezup #earthbonesclimbing #fiveten
