Jason Kehl

Jason Kehl has been climbing for over 13 years and an artist for just as long. Climbing has always been a good creative outlet and his vagabond lifestyle and penchant for danger have fueled his adventures over the years. Jason's evolvement in the climbing world reflects theses ideas and he is willing to share them with whoever is willing to listen.

A pro climber that has been living on the road for the past 10 years, Jason always seems to find adventure. His highballing escapades have been well documented, including some amazing first ascents like- Evilution in Bishop, Ca and becoming the first person to solo 5.14d with his boulder ascent of The Fly in Rumney New Hampshire.

This past month was a whirlwind to the very end, and now its over. I'm still not 100% back to climbing, so it's nice to have some distractions.

Six months out from surgery, time is flying now! The training routine seems to be paying off too! Although I would say that I am maybe only 80% back to me old self.

So here I am, almost 5 months out from knee surgery. Where has all the time gone? Lots of thumb twiddling? I think not.

It's amazing how much strength you can loose when you don't lift a finger. After my knee surgery I decided to take a break from climbing that lasted two months.
