A podcast for just for rock climbers.

You’ll find this route on the center column facing the lead wall and if you like surprise endings, you’ll dig this route. It has some real f...

This route is in the back corner next to the auto-belay and it is a douse. It’s a blue route with some nice corner work in the middle but th...

It has been too long. The last figure8 Podcast episode was published back in January 2017 so I thought a nice easy 5.7 route would be a good...

I have been climbing on the guest pass of a friend at Salt Pump for a while. We have a routine, we climb a few top rope routes, get pumped o...

You may not have noticed but I haven’t been on a lead route in more than a year. I’ve also never captured a clean climb on a lead route, eve...

This green route faces the benches on the center pillar and was a fun one with some nice features. This route has some nice features and eve...

If you scroll down a few you’ll see that this route below but the previous climb was done on top rope. This time around I sent it on mock le...

The last time I climbed this route, I was winding down and wasn’t able to climb it clean. This time around, I made it clean, but also realiz...

This is the same route from below climbed a while ago but this time around I’m climbing for a lead test. When you take a lead test you usual...

Even though this route is rated a 5.9, it climbs more like a 5.8 so it’s what I call an ego climb. Overall it is pretty straight forward. Th...

Here is another fun warm up because it seems like lately, warm ups are the only climbs I can finish. This is a straight route with one small...

Okay, so I have to be honest, I may have cheated a bit here. You might not see it but let me explain. I’ve totally climbed this route clean...

This route is yellow but it was proving to be a white whale. I had tried and failed but this time was different. I am not a member at Salt P...

Lately I’ve been pulling out footage from the vault of unedited clips. Well here is one from the present. This is a new route currently up a...

The first time I got on this route, I nailed it. Fast forward a few days and you would think with some rest and a GoPro I would be aces. Not...

Still working through the backlog of unedited clips and I found this route. This is another clip from March of 2015 climbing at EVO with Bra...

Dug up another gem from the archive. This one is a 5.10 from March of 2015 at the newly minted evo ROCK + FITNESS in Portland, Maine. What a...

I just started climbing with a new friend that is a few inches shorter than me. This route was proving to be quite a jerk for her but my ext...

Contrary to the name of the route. This route was totally for us. I’ve climbed it a few times but the great thing that I like about this rou...

You may remember two videos made some time ago on the pier at Mackworth Island. Well I decided since I missed going last summer that I would...

This is normally an easy warm-up route but it is a bit more work in the dark finding your feet. It was the first time I’ve been able to clim...

It has been more than a long time since I have been climbing and about as long since I posted a video. Here we go again, getting back into t...

I was surprised to see the long gap in the podcast episodes so I’ve been digging around in the vault to bring out some unedited climbs. Here...

On January 4, 2015 the Maine Rock Gym closed its doors for the last time. The gym has been open for twenty years and has grown to mean a lot...

This is kind of a cool part of MRG. There are two routes side by side that are just about mirror images of one another. They are both 5.6 gr...

This is the first attempt on a new route and what a fun one it was. It started out with a left lean on one of my least favorite holds. Its t...

This unmarked route starts a bit tricky but it is smooth sailing all the way to the top after the first two holds. This was as much fun the...

Here is a new take on a previously climbed favorite, same route, now we’re against the clock. Light fades on this playground of chunky grani...

I was working on this problem at the same time as two other people but didn’t top out first. The problem is pretty straight forward up to th...

There is a new rock gym opening soon in Portland in Partnership with the Maine Rock Gym in Portland and evo ROCK + FITNESS of New Hampshire....

I met this pier for the first time about three weeks ago and instantly knew that I had to traverse it. All the holds are really chunky and t...

This route took a few shots to get it right. The hardest part is balancing your weight over in the corner while you finish crossing left han...

This route quickly became known as the jerk route. The name fits because it is right next to the white witch route with similar attributes a...

Not sure what is up with all the purple routes lately but they’ve brought me some luck. Tonight I climbed my first ever V4. Since it is my f...

After nearly two weeks off climbing, it was time to get back on the wall. This is a new route on the bouldering pillar. It snakes from one s...

The more I climb outside the more respect I have for outside climbers. It is way harder than it looks and it is a lot harder than climbing i...

Even though this route is likely over rated, I’m still calling it my best ever for the time being. The hardest part of this is in the middle...

Noah, Brandon, and I all raced to Fort Williams from work and made it in before they close at sunset. This was the maiden voyage of our new...

Nailed this one first try out of the gate after a boulder reset. The black routes in this corner are always tricky balance problems. This on...

This 5.10 is my most difficult climb to date. I practiced the beginning a few times but was never able to get my right hand on the small yel...

This is Arthur Page coming to you live from One City Center in Portland Maine for the Ripple Effect rappelling event! Ripple Effect raises m...

I just had a really great night at the gym. If you’ve seen some of the earlier posts, you know that I’ve struggled with the current MRG boul...

You may have noticed a few videos starring Brandon. Well for weeks now, we’ve had a nickname for this white route. This is a clean show, but...

This route was taunting me. There were two dudes watching me try this and watching me fail this route. I caught two fails on camera and abou...

I finally landed this beast! It is only five holds to the top but the third one is a tiny red jerk. I could make it to that hold every time...

There was no script, no production value and no where to go but up! In this episode, I question my wife about her experience starting out at...

This route is a tough one in the back corner that requires a lot of wall play and lateral movement at the bottom. Once you get up to the tra...

This was a bit of a technically tricky clip. I succeeded on the fourth attempt but the beginning part of the video was corrupted so I had to...

I tried several times to get this one but kept falling off. The hand holds are very directional but in the wrong direction to where you need...

I’ve only ever climbed inside at a gym and always wanted to take it to the next level. I had been to Fort Williams before and noted the rock...
