5.8 | Main Sprinkler Valve
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...
5.7 | Liftchair Sunset
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...
5.6 | Steep Sheep
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...
5.8 | Rub the Belly
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...
5.8 | Outside the Cones
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...
5.7 | Pirate Ships (evo Portland)
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...
5.9 | Get Your Wallet (evo Portland)
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...
5.9 | Get Your Wallet (evo Portland)
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...
5.7 | Big Steppers (evo Portland)
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...
5.8 | Outside the Cones (evo Portland)
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...
5.9 | Arthur Page (Salt Pump)
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...
5.8 | Orange (evo Portland)
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...
5.10a | Ducks (evo Portland)
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...
5.9 | Foam (evo Portland)
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...
5.10 | ONE! (evo Portland)
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...
5.9 | Use Power! (evo Portland)
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...
5.8 | Not With Us (evo Portland)
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...
5.FUN | Arthur Page (43.2881, -70.2277)
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...
