CLIMB | COSTA BLANCA


To say my trip to Spain this month with Rock & Sun was amazing is an understatement. My favorite place to climb always seems to be the last place I've been, but Costa Blanca was incredibly special. Got what I would qualify as my hardest send to date, made some great new friends and learned so much that has improved my climbing technique and onsite ability.

Definitely experiencing some post-trip blues and missing my daily walks to La Estufa to enjoy an outrageously good three-course meal with wine for just 12 Euro, but planning the next adventure always helps. Already looking at Morocco next fall with a couple of my new friends from Spain — and my first trip to the Red River Gorge in less than three weeks!

Until then, I'll be dreaming of Spanish limestone and the beautiful landscapes of Costa Blanca...

NOW PLAYING | E+F SEPT 17


12 months, one trip delay and a torn ACL later, I'm now exactly one week out from climbing in Spain. SPAIN!!! This time next week it's wheels up for Costa Blanca with Rock & Sun, and it can't get here soon enough.

This will be the official kick off of what I'm calling my 'Last Blast' fall season before knee surgery in November, and I plan on making the absolute best of it. And because every great trip needs a solid playlist, here's E+F Sept 17 that includes a few of my favorite tracks currently in rotation. Enjoy!
