2026-07-06 (FA)An unforgettable day with Chris and Jordi. Chris showed me this area a couple weeks ago and I was blown away by this boulder in particular. Perfectly shaped like a wave the climb combines all the best parts of the Squamish style: slab, arete, lip traverse, compression and then mantel. Our day started with a gruelling uphill hike in the direct sun. When we got to the boulder we jumped straight into developing action by cutting logs to build a landing. This zone is in a clear cut so there are sticks and logs strewn about everywhere making it hard to even walk around. I knew the true line had to surf the lip of the wave. It took quite a bit of work to figure it out. Eventually, with an on the fly beta change, I managed to top it out and what a great feeling it was. We named it Teahupo’o which is also known as: “The End of the Road” (which it certainly was). It is a rad surf spot in Tahiti.
