Bishop, California, USA

Climbing road trips are starting to becoming a yearly tradition. This year, 9 of us got together to go to USA for a one week mad adventure around Bishop, Red Rocks and Joshua Tree. I am not sure if Bishop has jinxed me, but one week before the trip I managed to have my first […]

Arapiles, Australia

For the last 2 days of our trip we stayed at Arapiles which is a mainly traditional climbing area. Unlike the Grampians, Arapiles is not spread out and the layout in my opinion is very similar to Smith Rocks. The crags are very convenient to get to and we didn’t have to drive 1+ hour […]

Grampians, Australia

From Tasmania, we flew back to Melbourne and drove 3.5 hours to Halls Gap to meet some friends at Grampians National Park for some climbing.

Busan, Korea

I enjoyed Korea so much after our Jeju trip, I immediately booked a flight to Busan for a weekend in December. Shortly before we were to go, I saw on “27 crags” that there was quite a bit of bouldering in Busan without needing to rent a car, so I decided to message the “Busan Climbers” […]
