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 extra height gave me an advantage to reach up and grab a nice hold right after coming left foot over the edge on the triangle looking piece. Goes to show you how having a route setter that is taller than you can really put you at a disadvantage. She has to heal hook and grab a tiny left hand and then go for the juggy hold.

My name is Arthur Page and I live in Portland Maine. I've been climbing on and off for about 8 years. This year I've decided to up my climbing game and have been training to move past the gym and start out-door lead climbing this summer. I'm currently bouldering between V2 and V3 and climbing top rope at the gym between 5.8 and 5.9. I started this site because of how difficult it is to find climbing resources. Most videos lack production quality and getting any reliable information involves dropping hundreds on a class at a gym. To me this is counter to what I believe to principles of climbing. It is a sport centered around personal challenge, community, and sharing. I hope you feel the same way and I hope you enjoy figure8!
