Climbing dump from last week 3 V0's & 2 V1's @thecliffsharlem_nyc - - Top roping has helped tremendously with my bouldering. 15 ft in the air is nothing when you are used to 30 feet in the air, lol. I also have trust in my feet now. Wherever I place them on the wall, I know they will keep me up. - - I am still working on my techniques, trying my best to keep my center of gravity in proper position, flagging, etc. Enjoying the process , one step at a time. - - Stay Caffeineted My Friends - - #thecliffscommunity #boulderingbabes #boulderingbarista #baristaswhoclimb #TioJoe #thebxbarista #glittercatjoe #strongmanputo

L.A. @coffeefestshow was different in so many ways. Will start with the amazing judges of world latte art championships Head judge @deferio , @tereekah & guest judge @baristalifela - - I usually get an opportunity to sign up as an alternate but this year had to man the @espressostateofmind booth and didn't have 5 mins to leave. Fast forward second to last pour of day 1 and the judges have not seen me but know im in the house . So being the wonderful people they are, they send @matty_hags to get me to pour. These pics by @depresso5drago show just how FUCKING EXCITED I was to pour especially to be called by the judges & @joshuadavidboyt hours after sign up. I hope one day to be able to repay the feeling - - Can't thank you enough for the opportunity and the love.
