That windmill fall had me kind of spooked 😂 Really enjoyed climbing on these comp-style boulders at the Longmont Climbing Collective! After months of ankle recovery prohibited me from doing much bouldering, it feels good to flow again and dial the coordination moves back in. We’ll see if it comes in handy soon 👀 @arcteryx @evolv_worldwide #ClimbingReels #Bouldering #CoordinationMoves #CompStyleClimbing #ClimbingLife #SendIt #ClimbersOfInstagram #ClimbingNation #BoulderProblem #GymClimbing #Bet

Is this my intro to dry tooling? 🤔🧗🏽 One of the coolest parts about comp climbing is how creative it can get—pulling from different styles, disciplines, and even sports to create something fresh. I’ve been climbing for almost 20 years, competing for most of that time… and I’ve never been handed a pair of dry tooling axes for an indoor boulder 😂 Huge thanks to @benchmarkclimbing for the creative setting and good vibes, and to @allriseoutdoors for putting together such a special event.

Sometimes when I close my eyes, I can still feel it’s presence 😔💔 Unfortunately climbs come and go in the cycle of setting🔄…but there’s something about the replacement climb being on the same line and the same color that makes it sting worse 😭 It’s almost like it’s taunting me.. I feel entitled to compensation 😒😂 @movementgymscolorado #ClimbingLife #GymClimber #ClimberHumor #Projecting #ResetSeason #ClimberProblems #ClimbingHeartbreak #RouteSetter #IndoorClimbing #ViralReels | Kai Lightner

Kai Lightner is no stranger to the spotlight—or to this magazine. He’s been climbing since he was six, when he joined the climbing team at a gym in North Carolina. Four years later Lightner won his first national title, and the wins just kept coming. In 2016, while still in high school, Lightner wrote an essay for Alpinist 55 about learning how to trad climb from Doug Robinson. A few years later, as a sophomore in college, he appeared on this podcast, in conversation with Paula LaRochelle. He ha

Grades are…. weird 😅 Took my first day trip to Joes Valley and managed to climb on a lot of fun classic boulders including this one called Counter Clockwork. This boulder was incredibly unique, as it requires you to do this “spanned” traverse on a single toe hook until you’re close enough to “dyno” to the last juggy hold. As you can see… I didn’t climb this boulder quite as stretched out as others might have😅 What’s interesting is that this boulder goes for 8A/V11, but has ranged from V10 - V1

Another sport climbing pro tip for those with heavy forearms and strong toes 🙂‍↕️ When people say indoor moves don’t translate to outdoor climbing, I always laugh. Because you never know what skills will transfer until you find yourself needing them 😂Thanks @crg.kennesaw for the fun set and @helen314159 for the great belay! #IndoorClimbing #GymClimbing #ClimbingLife #ForearmPump #ClimbersOfInstagram #ClimbingCommunity #SendIt #CentralRockGym #StoneSummit #TrainingSeason #RouteSetterLove #Climb

Who needs two feet anyway?🤷🏽‍♂️ Only the essential tips for your climbing repertoire here 😌👌🏾Still psyched to be on the wall, just with a boot for a little counter balance. Got any more one-footed challenges for me? I’m all ears... and just one foot 🦶🏽😂 🎥by: @connielightner @g1climbing #ClimbingWithOneFoot #AnkleRecovery #OneFootChallenge #StillClimbing #StayPsyched #ClimbingLife #ChallengeAccepted” | Kai Lightner

Jamaica’s First Climbing Wall 🇯🇲We did it yall 🥹After months of planning, organizing, and building, Jamaica finally has its first climbing wall ever! In a predominantly black country where climbing is seen by most as a “white man’s sport”, having a climbing wall in the Jamaica National Stadium is nothing short of remarkable. This project really took a village, and I’m so grateful @gazleah brought me on to help see it through til the end. His dedication to being the glue to this project was in

Sometimes you’ve gotta get weird or get it done 🤸🏽‍♂️🤪 One of my biggest wins last weekend was finally feeling solid on my heels. Recovery’s been slow, but I’m proud of the progress and hoping for more breakthroughs in the coming months 💪🏽 @arcteryx @evolv_worldwide @petzl_official #weirdbeta #climbinglife #recoveryjourney #heelhooking #blackclimbers #sportclimbing #movementmatters #sendseason #cruxclub #thisisclimbing #comebackseason #evolvclimbing #arcteryxathlete #petzlgram | Kai Lightne
