The best competition climbers in my opinion are the ones who have the most fun out on the wall. @nathaniel.coleman is one of those climbers that is always laughing and enjoying getting out to climb no matter what he places. . . . . . . . . . . . #colorado #vail #gopro #gopromountaingames #bouldering #rockclimbing #climbing #ifsc #ifscwc #wearerab #rabusa #tasclife #tascperformance #tascperformanceambassador #climbcanada #climbing_photos_of_instagram @tascperformance @libmtn @rocknrollsports @thecircuitclimbing @redrumrosen @bgt.ascentplates (at Vail, Colorado)

Well I told everyone I would be climbing by February, I didn’t say how well I would be climbing. Last Thursday I was able to sneak into the climbing gym well the grew was setting and fight my way up three easy auto belay routes. My hand is still along way from recovery but it’s not going to stop me from the joys of climbing! I can’t use my left hand to hold an ice tool yet but that’s no excuse not to train. -20c, only one good limb, and the only shoes my broken foot will fit in are winter crocs, so what are your excuses for not training? . . . . . . . . . . . #grivel #eachtotheirown #rabusa #wearerab #tasc #tascperformance #tascperformanceambassador #mixedclimbing https://www.instagram.com/p/CK4UTzKD1i6/?igshid=142nfrws4pr5x

Let there be heat! After a living though a winter in the bus chasing ice I learned that having reliable consistent heat in the coldest part of winter was a must. The only thing I found that would work well was a woodstove. So like the bus I decided to upgrade the heating system in the van to wood heat. The propane heater that was in the van actually ended up weighing more than this new woodstove by @cubicminiwoodstoves . Of course the hardest part about installing a woodstove was finding the clearances needed to keep it safe. I had to manufacture a custom bracket to hold a heat reflecting shield that only required 1 inch clearance. I spent days second-guessing everything and re-measuring again and again in order to get the installation safe and secure. The most nerve-wracking part of the installation was having to cut a hole through the roof! In addition I opted to order the stove insert for the top of the wood stove so those of you who are still expecting to stop by for fresh chocolate chip cookies after a long day of ice climbing they’ll be here waiting for you! After a few fires in it I’m confident in saying that it’ll be plenty warm enough come those cosy nights when it hits -40 on a Canadian ice climbing adventure! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #vanlife #vanlifemovement #vanlifediaries #noplacetoofar #wearerab #rabusa #tasc #tasclife #tascperformance #tascperformanceambassador https://www.instagram.com/p/CIikkSMjlyW/?igshid=1svwn117g144l

Today’s van post covers some of the finishing touches of the kitchen cabinets. Replaced all the propane lines in the van with new lines and added a quick disconnect outside to hook up a bbq. Looking back into the van you can see the gold 1970’s futon. Don’t worry I did deal with that. Also I was planning on redoing the curtains but not sure I can sew one handed. Lighting is one of the most important design considerations when building a camper van. I used @goalzero Light-A-Life mini USB lights in my bus build and loved them. So they were my first choice to improve the lighting over the kitchen counter and they ended up working perfect! The end of the countertop got a little pizzazz with a sheet of copper being moulded in place for what is about be set on in! Wait till next post to see. Last part of the kitchen counter was to add a back splash. I found thin cut limestone I glued on the wall. It was light weight, easy to install and made a huge difference to the look of the whole van! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #wearerab #grivel #noplacetoofar #tasc #tasclife #tascperformance #tascperformanceambassador #vanlife #vanlifemovement #vanlifediaries #vanlifers https://www.instagram.com/p/CIdfKz0DYMF/?igshid=4puc14tvr9jy
