Last summer (2021) I brought back the glen top ten challenge! This time going for my top ten V8s at the niagara glen in a day. I was heading out for a climbing trip to the west coast in a week or so and used this an opportunity to test myself, and build up my physical preparedness and mental confidence. Doing this was a bit of a risk. If it didn't go well, it could have easily done the opposite - grinding me down physically and mentally. If I gave myself a challenge that was too easy, it wouldn't have had much benefit. Come along this VLOG style day at the glen as I share some of my tips, thoughts, analysis, and of course, climbing!

Rule of thumb (V8/7b) Beginning of this year Maria & Ratul climbed a hidden gem on a boulder problem located in Niagara Glen, Old country sector that was tucked away next to the main trail The problem starts on two small crimps that require a badass crossover move before extending out to the featured 'rule of thumb' hold. Then you establish your feet to launch for the top roof edge with your left hand and pull up to top out the sketchy slab climb (Spooky)

Shout out to all the peeps who helped film and spot for the vids, you're the real goats. Harry, Wes, Will, James, Patrick, Kevin, Tej, Russel, Jeff and everyone else who we met while in the glen. 0:00 Intro 0:07 Running Man V2 1:17 Eye Sickle V2 2:08 Spiderman V3 3:27 Second Thoughts (Aiden) V3 4:26 Megaman V3 (Aiden) 5:16 Mamma Mia V4 6:14 Higher Ground V4 6:56 Love of My Life V4 7:23 Darlene V4 7:44 The Plot V4 (Aiden) 8:11 Brave New World V5 8:58 The Stand V5 9:50 Here I Go Again V5 11:15 Anklet V5 11:40 Pica V5 12:30 Black Magic V6 13:08 Ripple Direct V6 14:39 My Upside Down Milkshake V6 15:22 Windy City V6 16:04 Shocking Revelations V6 17:20 Thunder and Lightning V6 17:52 Trilobite V6 18:40 Life O'Riley Stand V6 19:19 Contact Stand V6 20:16 Super Sharp Shooter V6 20:59 Sharkey Problem V6 21:40 Eyes Wide Open V6 (Aiden) 22:26 Sibishii V6/7 23:00 Life O'Riley Sit V7 23:42 Contact Sit (First Contact) V7 24:36 Infected Mushroom Left V7 (Matt) 25:50 Black Dragon V7 (Matt) 26:17 Nogoko V7 (Matt) 27:12 Floryshe V8 (Aiden) 27:39 Rule of Thumb V8 (Aiden) 28:26 Cocina V8 (Aiden) 29:04 Personal Vendetta V8 (Matt) 30:28 Peewee V8 (Matt) 30:58 Orient Express V8 31:46 Chain Reaction V9 (Aiden) 32:42 Rigormortis V9 (Matt) Socials: Jeremy @jeremybaziw https://www.instagram.com/jeremybaziw/?hl=en Aiden @yellowholdclimber https://www.instagram.com/yellowholdclimber/?hl=en Matt @_matthewconlin https://www.instagram.com/_matthewconlin/?hl=en Crew Instagram @monkeymodeclimbing https://www.instagram.com/monkeymodeclimbing/?hl=en #niagaraglen #bouldering
