I love pure roof climbs. Had the pleasure of getting up this awesome climb (Lipstick) graded Au25 after @apomahony put the draws on. Massive thanks to @aurel_glt for the sick beta. The climb climbs real well with a heartbreaking dyno just nearing the finish. I use to be really intimidated by roofs until I practice the art of roof climbing when I was based in Perth at @rockfaceclimbingcentre and with the help and psyched of bro @morganthen now it’s one of my favourite style of climbing. 💪🏼💪🏼 📸 @megganeturner

Off the Aiguille du Midi lift, this cave is the gateway to all things alpine. While it looks like a moment of solitude, when we first got there, about 15 people were crammed in, putting on their crampons and roping up. The energy was that of excitement and anticipation with a dash of fear, or maybe that's just what I was feeling. Nothing gets me more stoked than the sound of ice crunching under the feet 😀😀😀 and man, the view of what's to come outside of the cave…it was one of those vivid moments that you take a mental picture of in the hopes of remembering every little detail for the rest of your life.

Got on a fixed line today at the Roost to get some shots of @queserawells the climbing warrior princess on her project Glory Daze 5.12c. It’s always an honor to photograph someone on their project, and I love being up there with them to cheer them on. Great job today Sarah!

Forced Entry (V11): this is one of those boulders that you really want to get on once you see the line! So happy to have climbed this classic, and the rain made the wet top out even more exciting! #teamclimbasia #bouldering #climbing #ocun #grampiansbouldering

"Yamnuska" is derived from the Stoney Nakoda word "Iyamnathka" that describes steep cliffs or "the flat faced mountain." @ryanjmacpherson89 enjoying the vertical realm on Kahl Wall this week. Great day out brother! Let's get another one in before you fly South.

When life gives you 🍋s, it turns out that when you squeeze them, all you get is sour ass juice, a tough rind, and some shitty seeds. @oceandontcheat getting his squeeze on searching for the elusive lemonade . …………………………………………………………………………….. @amga1979 #amga1979 #dpsambassador @thirtysevenfive #optoutside #goatworthy #chaseyourgoat
