For my 25th birthday, I decided to do what any totally normal person would do: hop on the Kilter Board and try to climb 25 V10/7c+ problems in one session. The plan was simple—keep it moving, stack sends, and make it a fun little birthday suffer-fest. I filmed the whole thing like a climbing diary: attempts, little wins, the inevitable “why did I choose this” moments, and the vibes of trying to stay psyched when the goal starts getting… disrespectful. This session honestly didn’t go how I expected (like, at all), but that’s kind of the point. I talk through what it feels like when the tank starts emptying, how I choose what to try next, and how I keep the session fun even when I’m getting shut down. If you’re into board climbing, training for comps, or you just want motivation to set a dumb goal and commit anyway, this one’s for you—birthday edition.
