Hi,

so I love everything climbing (well, mostly alpine climbing, mixte climbing, trad climbing and then a bit of sport - in thaht order) except that I can't be really bothered by bouldering. And I like photography.

I'm new to instagram and I was wondering, what are good accounts to follow to see some of the best climbing pics? (apart from the obvious ones like Jon Griffith, Jimmy Chin, ...)

Any ideas?

Hi, and thanks.

I'll check out your profile soon! I was already following Scherer, but how could I forget about Tom Randall. I'll check out the others you said as well!

Hi there,

I don't want to spam too much, but I climb regularly in the Alps and like to take some pictures when I am, if I'm in the mood. Fact is, I've made an instagram account just yesterday: https://www.instagram.com/denishoste/

For now, I plan to update it with pictures from the past year, until I go on my next trip in about three to four weeks and from that point on I hope to do a mix of photos from the trips I'm on (live feed) and photo's from the past of trips I've been on. I don't really like the filters everyone's using on Instagram, but it seems to be the thing to do on there. Still need to find a way to work with them and not over-use them.

And now that the shameless self-promoting has ended, the big athletes and brands are nice to follow as well:
people like tommy caldwell (https://www.instagram.com/tommycaldwell/)
or brands like patagonia (https://www.instagram.com/patagonia_climb/)
or TNF (https://www.instagram.com/thenorthface/).

Less obvious (though still pretty obvious) are production houses like
camp4collective (https://www.instagram.com/camp4collective/),
Sherpa cinemas (https://www.instagram.com/sherpascinema/),
louderthan11 (https://www.instagram.com/louderthan11/),
bigupproductions (https://www.instagram.com/bigupclimbing/), ...

Not my way on instagram! Search by tags and follow ordinary people climbing posting less polished content. I find the pro photos all blend together. Also avoid all who post trite inspirational site.

Just like you I am actually also looking forward to see if any other UKC members on here are on instagram. There might be some people worth following on here!

Mine! If you like both climbing, running and pictures of my cat, Nevis. Admittedly it's a bit of a niche.

A few that I like:

https://www.instagram.com/ladzinski/
https://www.instagram.com/chrisburkard/
https://www.instagram.com/kilianjornet/

I live in the Alps - I don't climb much but run in the mountains a lot so lots of mountain shots (usually with my border collie in it) on my feed although no degree of professionalism.

Well obviously mine if you want to see mid grade bumbling and interesting cans of beer. Bonus shots of me failing to build a sturdy campus/fingerboard set up.

Or actually interesting ones:

crimpingtonbear_tv - some cool shots, currently in the alps
psychovertical - Andy Kirkpatrick
hazel_findlay - some good non-climbing pics too
leahcraneclimbing - leah crane (obviously)
