Climbing at your limit requires much more than pure strength, or power, or even technique. It takes a process. Between adequate rest, nutrition, skin, the right conditions, motivation, beta, and a little try hard, to boot, all the pieces must come together for that one perfect attempt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite his youth, Drew Ruana has meticulously refined his process over the years\u2014and has amassed an impressive ticklist of ascents. This year alone the 21-year-old has climbed at least 12 blocs V15 or harder, including three V16s (8C+): Sleep Walker in Red Rock Canyon, Nevada\u2014watch the video here<\/a>\u2014and Box Therapy and Creature from the Black Lagoon in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado. Now, between classes, he\u2019s working on a project that could tip into the V17 (9A) territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Join us today for an Instagram Live session<\/a> with Drew Ruana<\/a> and Liam Lonsdale<\/a> as they chat about the projecting process, Drew\u2019s next-level mega proj, and how to boulder at your limit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
