  1. “JUMBO PUMPING LOVE” is NOT the name of the hardest rock climb in America. It could have been. So how does a climb gets its name? This story started over 3 decades ago, when a striking, but faint line of pockets - viewed through my binoculars - eventually became one of the most difficult and famous rock climbs in the world. On a cold November day in 1991, perched near the summit of remote Clark Mountain, I embarked on a top down inspection of what was the most king line I ever found. Wild swings into the wall to place bolts revealed section after section of V-hard boulder problems. My psyche was high as I slowly and methodically continued down, placing bolts. It became abundantly clear to me that this entire climb would go, but at a standard much more difficult than the hardest grade in 1991. I thought maybe this would be possible as a multi pitch climb. I tried it, was unable to make it to the halfway anchors, so I set my sights on the other king line to the left which I named Jumbo Pumping Hate (5.14a). Fast forward to 2008, when Chris Sharma redpointed my original king line project. In true Sharma fashion, he brought it to a new level by climbing the entire wall in one very long pitch. He named this “Jumbo Love” and graded it 5.15b. It stood as the hardest and proudest sport climb in America for 14 years. There were a few repeats by America’s strongest sport climbers. In 2013, I belayed Sharma on a hard start (bolted by Jorge Visser) to Jumbo Love. This was like adding a 5.14b, with no rest, to a long 5.15b. I tried to do the math… how hard could this be? The direct start to Jumbo Love remained un-redpointed until October 2022, when Seb Bouin linked it all together. So how does a route get its name? What would Seb name it? Do you honor the history in your name as Sharma did with Jumbo Love, or do you call it something completely different? Seb messaged Chris and me. With a little back and forth, he decided on “Suprême Jumbo Love” (5.15c).

  3. oops, I haven’t shared anything about sailing the world. yes, I survived. and now it’s time to share what it looked like with everyone who cheered me on along the way. enjoy this video full of silly and fun clips captured throughout the year :) If you know me you’ve probably heard me talking about this dream for the last couple years of my life. 11 months on the craziest job I’ve ever worked and 40,000+ NM sailed later, I’ve accomplished my childhood dream of circumnavigating the globe. It’s hard to sum up the enormity of this experience into an instagram post. I’ve lived the extreme highs and intense lows that life at sea presents. While working for @clipperrace, I wasn’t a part of just one team this year but nine different teams. I’d hop on board a different boat after each stop to document the race from another perspective. I lived in close quarters with 174 different crew, spending my days telling their stories and sailing along side them through the good and the bad. This year has challenged me and tore me apart while simultaneously showing me sides of myself I didn’t know existed. I changed before my eyes and actually loved who I was becoming. I didn’t know I could love this deep or feel this low. I found confidence again and lost it and I think I’m finding it once more. Slowly. And I am proud to say I’ve come out more resilient because of it. I now know I can handle more than I thought, and that I can work harder than I believed I could. When I inevitably doubt this about myself, I get to look back on these 328 days to prove my wildly insecure self wrong. It’ll be nice to have hard evidence of what I am capable of for the moments when life does what it does best and tries to tell me I’m not good enough. more to come
