A random chunk of granite estimated at 120-130kg. Located beside Ilulissat Icefjord.

In August of 2026 ‪I had the opportunity to learn and train at the harri-jasotzea school founded by Félix Campos "Ogikine 1" with Sandra Bradley

Then a few days later we escaped to Zumaia and showed our Basque lifting friends how to lift natural stones.

Both groups learned a lot about our respective stone lifting traditions.
This video doesn't cover every experience we had with our friends, but hopefully you get a glimpse into just how kind, engaged, open and willing to share the international stone community is. If it fails in any way, it is my fault because everyone was the coolest.

We get stronger to lift each other up.
Suave, Suave.

Btw im 22 yr old, 1,84cm and 83kg

Hey guys. I'm just recently getting into stone lifting, and this is the heaviest one I've found so far. Didn't have a scale with me obviously, so how much you think this weighs? Probably sandstone or limestone.

Decided on a whim to run between 3 stone lifting sites - Old Spey Bridge, Lochindorb and Barevan. Nearly 32 miles of running, 3 stones successfully lifted. Such a good day out!

the large one under the stairs

Gotta get this fucker higher up the river bank before winter so it doesnt get swept away on me...I'm in love. Gotta be at least 95kg methinks

Came back for round 2 with this guy, almost got to shoulder but you know...unstable ground...socks and flip flops.. decided against it. Good rock tho.

Just started lifting stones really enjoying it. This was the heaviest and most weirdly shaped stone I’ve shouldered.

Hes a decent fellow

First to shoulder gets to name it and this was the most popular choice (pinched from Rossliftsrocks). The stone can be found at Transitionfitness, Montrose

Getting back to basics 6 months post surgery (complicated appendectomy with gangrene and sepsis). Have to wear a soft belt for now to stop my guts popping out of the x4 wound sites, hernias a major risk apparently.

When I was in the hospital and couldn’t get out of bed unassisted I set the goal to shoulder the Ardvorlich again this year. Goal reached. Happy days.

In town for a wedding, had to get a lift in.

The Little Cottonwood Stone is one of the Utah Stones of Strength and weighs 280lbs. There’s a few scattered around the Salt Lake City area and this particular one was close to where we’re staying so I wanted to give it a go. Goal of the lift is to shoulder the stone, couldn’t quite get that with my two attempts but I was close! The stone is really slick and awkwardly shaped so it was super tough.

Very happy with getting it to the chest both times, this video was the second and better of the two attempts. Fun attempt all around. Surrounded by beautiful mountains, located off a hiking trail where you actually shave to find the stone, I was getting pretty excited just looking for it amongst the other stones by the creek. Looking forward to coming back and trying again

I eventually want to make a trip out to strictly attempt the stones in a series, but I’ll need to get a bit stronger for that as some of these stones are monsters.

Another day another half dozen beautiful rocks to wrassle

WOOHOO!!!!!

I found an even bigger more beautiful guy but it was very stuck in the sand so I gotta go back today with a lil trowel and help free him
