Three Days in Joes- Drew Ruana

Three Days in Joes follows phenom boulderer Drew Ruana and filmmaker/climber Brennan Robinson on a fast, high-stakes hit to Utah’s Joes Valley in early October. Over just three days, Drew strings together an absurd run of hard sends—moving from V10 flash battles to iconic Joes testpieces—and caps the trip with a standout achievement: the second ascent of Insurgency (V14/15). What makes this one addictive is the sheer density of climbing: attempts are purposeful, the pace never drags, and every problem carries its own style and pressure. You get the full arc of a “best days ever” trip—quick learning, small setbacks, dialed beta, and the momentum that builds when everything starts to click—set against crisp sandstone lines like Masterpiece, Mask of God, Slasher, and Black #1. If you love watching elite bouldering done efficiently, with enough grit to feel earned, this is a must-watch session in one of the sport’s most famous arenas.
