Special thanks to my climber friend Ryan Braasch who made everything super safe at the tower and patiently belay for hours at the monolith film and photo production. Thanks bro!









I am impressed by the exceptional way Photographer Christian Schriefer immerse himself in the photography matter. He is a truly artist with a difference: he is not only a photographer but also a rock climber. Christian knows my style of climbing since almost 8 years ago. This set of photos is evidence of his intuitive knowledge on how to capture climbing moments, his creative decisions are always surprising.

I climbed the route with new Mad Rock Demon 2.0 climbing shoes. Performance and comfort are great. This shoes incorporates Mad Rock´s AES-3 Concave Sole technology, Power Flex Upper, and the new R2 Rand System that translates into a rock shoe with superior feel and fit. I felt totally free to move and perform!
