GearJunkie and Aventon Ebikes teamed up for a day of ‘stone lifting,’ climbing, and, of course, cycling.

Have you ever heard of stone lifting? Neither had we until we spent a day around Boulder, Colo., with filmmaker, photographer, and climber Cam Maier (aka BearCam).

Maier loaded up his Aventon Level.2 e-bike and pedaled all around town. He explained the nuances of stone lifting, hoisted a 250-pound rock, and took us to one of the most famous bouldering routes on Flagstaff. Then, we capped off the mega day with a hike to the summit of Green Mountain.

The secret to Maier’s energy preservation? The pedal-assist on his Aventon Level.2.

“Usually, that would take me 3 different days to do,” he said.
