#climbhard

The level of awkward in this interview is 11.

What do you look for in a climbing bra? Comfort? Style? Something that can handle being scraped against the rock when you need to make that balance-y slab move? Something that will wick moisture on the hour-long uphill approach to the crag? Something that won't stink when you wear it 5 days in a row on your annual climbing trip? Something that doesn't cut into your lats or pull on your traps? How about something that also looks good?⠀ ⠀ We were looking for all these things. Looking long and hard. And when we couldn't find it, we made one. ⠀ ⠀ The HoldBreaker X.⠀ Available Online from March 22nd⠀ 📷 @acarterclark

We started the Easter holiday climbing in Chulilla with Charles (@charlestaira)!! We had two days to climb as much meters as we could and Charles crushed it!! 💪💪 We had loads of fun with this really international guy: Japan, Mexico, Peru and USA. Name it! On top of that he is now on a quest to find the best climbing areas of Europe since he is here frequently. He left our team very impressed as Chulilla was his first sport climbing experience outdoors! Surely, his skills in boulder helped him achieve the long technical routes of this area. Wishing you tons of climbing adventures! .

What a place Cumbria is. I don’t think I’ve been this taken back by scenery since we were in Chamonix the other month. There must be some magic in there air here as I’m climbing better than I have ever climbed before, I managed my first V9 yesterday and I sighted for the first time a V8 over at kentmere, it seems that training does help.

The way to the top isn't a clear path, sometimes you have to go a little sideways but that's OK because it's the journey that's important.

Growing up is overrated. It may be a new year but that's no reason to feel older. Embrace your inner child - go out and play.⠀ .⠀ 📷 @acarterclark⠀

@acarterclark was not impressed with the suggestion of 'sling a cactus' on the HoldBreaker X photo shoot the other day. Fortunately she's a professional and managed to make the awkward rappel work anyway. 📷 👊

Everything in climbing can be a metaphor for life. Sometimes you just gotta throw a heel hook and scrap your way over it.  .⠀ 📷 @acarterclark⠀
