I make bouldering videos for fun 😎
I'm a full time architect in Las Vegas, NV. After graduating from Cornell University in 2005, I moved to Vegas and started designing hotels/ casinos on the Las Vegas Strip and around the country.
In 2016, I discovered a climbing gym near my office and have been climbing during my lunch hour ever since. When the pandemic hit, I started putting more time into filming my climbing and uploading to UA-cam. Subscribe if you want to see more!

J-Star Hosted The Sickest Comp
HUGE Turnout at the PASSION film premiere and blacklight comp this summer at The Refuge Las Vegas! Jonathan Siegrist put on a hell of an event with the help of Arc'teryx, La Sportiva, and Protect our Winters!
The night started with an amazing film by Siegrist and Ryan White showcasing strong climbing scenes in France, Spain, and Vegas. Then the party officially started. J-Star blasting those beats and everybody having fun! If you were there, you know what I'm talking about! Sorry for the loud music in advance, it was just one of those nights! Shoutout to all the Refuge staff ans setters for a killer event!

I forgot to comment, but this looks fun as hell!
Yeah! I was like, no Chad this week??? :(((
Too cool!
Thanks for watching! 🙌
Miguel! Dope video! Great footage even in the low light! This is the type of climbing event that would be in Berlin! A Climb Rave! Perfect music selection for the video also! Would love to attend something like that one day!
Thanks bro! I was shooting at the 2nd base ISO on both cameras and using low apertures a lot! I could TOTALLY see something like this happening in Berlin! I still have to go check out the Berlin climbing scene one of these days. Thanks for watching!
Makes me wana move to Vegas with such an awesome gym and experience they set up for everyone!
Vegas is the best! Thanks for the comment! 🙌
So sad I missed this!! Looked amazing!
This thing was right up your alley dude! We missed you dearly 🥲
So crazy to see the gym that full! Looks like quite the party 🎉 My favorite was the cheese grater on the slab in the background 😂
The gym was so packed August! The cheese grater was pretty creative haha 🧀. Thanks as always for the comment dude!
Ahh so many great memories!! Thanks for highlighting this amazing community yet again Miguel! Big respect to the whole Refuge fam.
@@mrjonathansiegrist Thanks for spearheading dude! This community is truly the best. Good luck out in France, and can't wait for everyone to see you and Ryan's movie, Passion! 😍
This is with oput a doubt the best black light set up I have seen in a gym. Super sick!
Thanks bro! 🫶🏽
You are the man Miguel!!!
@@SHO-1989 No YOU'RE the man Gucci!
This was amazing! My favorite boulder was the strong man one !
@@EmmanuelNichols Haha sick! Thanks for watching! 🙌
clubbing night meets climbing comp! love the energy through the whole video and the editing! must've been hard to shoot in such low light HAHAHAHA
@@yeahilovebread Lol thanks! It WAS hard! Had to bump up the ISO and shoot with the aperture wide open!
Creative and fun concept! Loved the huge climbing, dancing, movie premier party! So much going on! ❤️
Awesome event! 😻
Let's goooo!
🥳
This turned out so good. Would def have had major fomo if I wasn’t there spectating!! Nice edits, Miguel!
@@daaaaaavis Thanks Davis! 😍
That looks like a fantastic time!
@@SpaceBotany It was even more awesome in person!
First 🎉
@@hw7089 🎉🥳🪅
Refuge is a great gym! Got to climb there a few times when I was there for work and was fortunate enough to meet Tim during one of my sessions. Super great guy and an incredible climber!
That high jump in the beginning was crazy. Nice comparisson 💪🏻
What a great community oriented video! You guys have an amazing crew there at the Refuge. Cool to see @betaboibrandon in the video too… hopefully he’ll publish another video soon 👍🏻👍🏻
@@augustclimbing Thanks for checking this one out August! We are definitely pretty lucky here ☺️
Sarahs' downclimb is just so cute. ☺ Great episode, Miguel and community. 💪
@@Max_Alive thanks for watching! ☺️
Doing monkeys is how we got AIDs 1:21
So funny this popped up in my recommended because I recently went to The Refuge for the first time when I was in Las Vegas for business a couple weeks ago! I even recognize some of the problems I worked on still on the walls. I've only ever climbed at Touchstone gyms in LA (like Cliffs of Id which was mentioned) since I started at the beginning of this year and man your guys grading felt so stiff in comparison. I can send V5s and flash the majority of V4 at Touchstone but really struggled on a lot of the red tags (V3/V4) and even purple tags (V2/V3) at The Refuge. Humbled me real quick! It was a great challenge though and hope to visit again. That said, such a chill video and fun concept - really enjoyed!
Thanks so much for the comment! Our setting definitely gets some getting used to, but we have so many crushers at The Refuge. Hope to see you back soon!
It was a lot of fun! You should definitely do this format more it's great seeing people's reactions when they're chosen lol
@@BetaBoiBrandon Lol agreed, thanks again for being on this week! 🙌
Love that Sarah is keeping your eyebrows in check! 🙏🏻😊
😻
Gonna have to start showing up on some Sundays so I can send one and make an episode! Good climbing all around and it's cool to start seeing some familiar faces in these
Yeah come on by! Thanks for watching! 🙌
Man, what a great video, loved it!! Más de esto
A huevo!
beta boi brandon!! learned so much from his vids, so surprised to see him here!
This is his home gym! 🙌
refuge has got so many main characters
You know it Chad!
Got Caught in Amsterdam - Arc De Soleil - brilliant!

Awesome concept! Super cool to see diverse faces and skill levels from everyone! 🙌🏽
Congrats on your first yellow tag bro! 💪

Thanks for doing a climb with us this week Alan!
Woot woot.
Thomas!
I agree! Have done many different activities and love the climbing community the most.
The best 🙌
First
You are ON it these days 🤝
Is it normal to be painful at the beginning? I just bought ones just as my real size but if I can rate the pain I would say it is an 8 where 10 is the maximum
Yes, completely normal
How tall are you Miguel? It definitely looks like you have to put in much worse positions for the same moves as the other guys. You look like 6'3 in the video
Yup! You guessed it, 6'-3" with a +1. Check out some of my instagram posts, we do a lot of 'tall vs short' comparisons. Thanks for watching this old ass vid!
@@MiguelClimbs I am coming to vegas for a some family related stuff and i saw another video of you trying some of jonathan's sets, and I think im going to find this gym, because Im curious to how i do since i climb around v4-v5. We are very similar builds, im 6'3 +1 ape and 188lbs. I will follow you on instagram dude. Love your vids.
Backwards hat beta is always the right way to go! Thanks for the video, Miguel 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for watching August! 🤙😎
oh you mean v17 Kai???
That's the guy
Real Beginners was my first ever project on the moon board, took me about 5 sessions but I stuck with it and it’s really what got me addicted to the moonboard. My gym now has the 2024 set but next time I’m at the gym that has the 2019 set I’m 100% going to repeat Real Beginners
I still think this dyno is harder if ur tall
😂 Thanks for backing me up Ricky! 🙌
