Moonlight Sonata V16 // Taylor McNeill FA Mad Rock 2021-11-24 | 3 years, and the culmination of nearly 50 days of effort. For Taylor McNeill, Moonlight Sonata became more than a project. Putting up Joe's Valley's first V16 took confronting doubt and failure-- season after season. Moonlight Sonata is a testpiece of perseverance, willpower, and belief in oneself. McNeill shows the unglamorous side of what it took to complete one of the hardest boulder problems in the country.#definedbypassion #climbingisourpassionVideo: Three Peak FilmsGear -Shoes: madrock.com/collections/shoes/products/dronePad: madrock.com/collections/crash-pad/products/duo-padPad: madrock.com/collections/crash-pad/products/mad-padShirt: madrock.com/collections/accessories/products/passion-21-t-shirtHat: madrock.com/collections/accessories/products/5-panel-hat

PROVE IT | Taylor McNeill Mad Rock 2023-11-17 | This is a phrase you'll hear often if you spend any time around me. For me, it ignites the competitive fire in a fun and friendly way. I often say it to myself once I reach the point where I know I'm able to climb something. There's a massive difference between knowing you can do something and actually following through and finishing it off. Do you think you can do it? PROVE IT. You say it to your friends to keep the ego in check. How many times have you heard your friends claim they're going to send or call something easy? It's easy to talk, but it's much harder to PROVE IT. It's not meant to bring anyone down, exactly the opposite actually. It's meant to stoke that fire and bring out the try-hard in yourself and others. It's a friendly reminder to flip the switch, turn it on, and PROVE IT. - @TaylorMcNeill Stasis Low V13 | First Ascent - Red RockVideo: @ThreePeakFilms Chain of Fools / Prove It, a Single by Aretha Franklin.

Les Ombres dOpaline (8A+/V12) Mad Rock 2023-10-06 | After ticking a handful of Fontainebleau classics, Sera Gearhart channeled her remaining energy into a 'last day, best day' send of Les Ombres d'Opaline (8A+/V12). Beginning with an overhung cave section, this line follows slopey crimps and dynamic moves to a slabby lip encounter. #definedbypassion #bouldering #fontainebleau
Wie Im Urlaub Sit, V14 Mad Rock 2023-08-07 | An incredibly tricky heel hook move to start things off leads you into the start of the stand, which is an incredibly fun and surprisingly tricky jump to a jug on the lip. River polished rock with waterfalls crashing around you. Very special. - @matt_fultz
Teamwork 8A / V11 Mad Rock 2023-07-24 | Chironico. Sharp and crimpy! A Fred Nicole classic. - @matt_fultz
Pro Touch Mad Rock 2023-07-17 | Pro Touch (8A+/V12). Tough moves out of a squeezed position. Would definitely be a classic if it weren’t in a hole. Regardless, we had a great time being silly and climbing next to the beautiful river. - @matt_fultz #climbingisourpassion #definedbypassion

Nobody Ist Der Grosste V11 Mad Rock 2023-06-26 | Decided to hike up to this beautiful Font-esque boulder in Chironico after a long day of projecting. I wanted to go for the flash, but the high heel hook was quite tricky. Ended up with a quick send of this all time classic. - @matt_fultz
The Great White Shark Hunt // V12 Mad Rock 2023-06-19 | The Great White Shark Hunt (8A+/V12). Went straight to this legendary boulder on our first day in Chironico. Powerful crimping up a surprisingly overhanging face. The crimps are friendly if you grab them just right, but definitely bite back if you’re not accurate! - @matt_fultz

Darkness V12 FLASH Mad Rock 2023-06-05 | Darkness (8A+/V12). Lucky to flash this one on the hike out after a great day bouldering in Brione. This one is right on the trail and looks pretty simple, but proved to be harder (and taller) than it first seemed. Small crimps and scrunched positions. - @matt_fultz #bouldering #climbing #swissbouldering #brione #definedbypassion #climbingisourpassion #MattFultz
