With the 2017 BC Bouldering Provincials this weekend, we thought we would go ahead and do two interviews to kick things off. The past few years has seen a number of competitors jump back on the competition scene and this year we saw local climber JJ Mah make it back to podium a number of times this season. Growing up in North Vancouver, JJ started climbing at The Edge Climbing Centre under the tutelage of Andrew Wilson and Mike Doyle. Despite being part of such a strong group, JJ has always stood out because of his smooth climbing style and flawless technique. We are so psyched to check in with JJ before this weekend and here is what he had to say.

This weekend, Project Climbing Cloverdale will be hosting the 2017 BC Bouldering Provincials sanctioned by Sport Climbing BC. With the influx of Albertan’s onto the BC climbing scene, we thought it would be a great idea to interview Canmore-based climber Becca Frangos.

Born and raised in Canmore, Alberta, Becca is no stranger to the competition climbing scene. She was the Youth Bouldering and Lead National Champion in 2015, the Open National Lead Champion in 2015 and participated in the Lead World Cup Circuit in 2016. Graduating high school in 2015, Becca, along with her sister Sara Frangos and good friend Andrew Funk, sought out a year long climbing adventure through Europe. Sending her first 5.13d during the trip(Labyrinth in Kalymnos), Becca came home and made an ascent of the infamous Endless Summer (5.13d) in her own backyard. Currently attending the University of Victoria, Becca has made The Boulders in Saanich her home gym as she trains for the 2017 World Cup Circuit. Here is what she had to say.

Very impressive video making coming out of Bloc Shop these days. Thought we would throw this up in case it inspires!
We are very psyched to announce that Graham McGrenere has sent his first 5.14a in El Salto, Mexico to start his year long trip. The route is an extension to Dante’s Inferno. Congratulations Graham! What a way to start the trip!
