Nice flick of British Climber Hazel Findlay in Australia in Arapiles trying Final Departure.

Fun little flick about climbing in and around Frankenjura.

Another great little flick featuring Stu Smith on his own ‘Knife Edge Arete’ in the UFO Boulders north of Squamish. Stu Smith, Jack Fieldhouse, and Israel Cruces began developing the UFO boulders two winters ago, unearthly a number of great problems.

Louder than Eleven presents Jorg Verhoeven climbing Groove Train (33) in the Grampians. Hands down, one of the best raw sport climbing videos I have ever seen.

Awesome little flick of a new wall being developed in Skaha. Here is Alex Bourassa on the first ascent of Clockwork (5.13d).

With the 2016 Canadian Bouldering National Championship this weekend at The Hive North Shore, we thought it only fitting to interview Gavin Johnson, who has been a strong force on the British Columbian competition scene for a number of years and works at The Hive North Shore. Gavin began climbing at the age of eight.

In 2014, Gavin was the BC Youth Provincial Champion and placed first in the 2014 Open Bouldering Provincials.
