Ryan Olson's Climbing Blog

I have been climbing for more than eight years and enjoy all aspects of the sport. I mainly boulder and compete, though I am currently getting psyched on trad and sport climbing. Also, I spend a lot of time photographing climbing, and my photos have been published in Climbing, Urban Climber, and Rock and Ice. I currently spend summers in Boulder, CO and winters attending school in Vancouver, BC. I work as a routesetter, attend many local, regional, and national climbing competitions, and generally try to be an active and visible member of the climbing community. Please scroll through the tabs above to view my competition results, media appearances, and ticklist.
