Merrick Ales has an excellent gallery of photos from the 2010 Hueco Rock Rodeo up on his website that includes plenty of shots of comp winners Daniel Woods and Alex Puccio. There’s also a short video from the comp up at DPM.
In the event that you can’t get your full ClimbingNarc fix from this site alone I did an interview with SplitterChoss.com that you can check out here.
Hold maker Nicros has signed Daniel Woods, Paul Robinson and Alex Johnson to their team to help shape holds and develop products for the 2011 Nicros line-up. Word on the street is that Daniel and Paul will be visiting Minnesota soon to do work both in the shop and out on the boulders. Stay tuned.
Andrew Bisharat at Rock & Ice interviewed several well known climbing photographers for a recent magazine piece and he posted the various answers to 6 of his questions on R&I’s website.

Wow, that is a sweet looking line. I’m planning a trip to the Red later this Fall. What’s the grade of this?
5.7 and it would seem as though some would argue that it is even easier than that. I have basically 0 crack climbing skills and it didn’t seem too bad.
Either way it is a super fun route that most people do in 2 pitches which adds even more fun to the experience. The last picture is me standing at the first belay. You can do the route in 1 100′ pitch but I think that most people do 2 shorter pitches. Not that I have much experience in this but I would definitely recommend this route if you are going to be at the Red.
Thanks for the beta! I’ll be adding it to my tick list for our upcoming trip.
JE down rates Kingpin, P-rob downrates Freaks of the Industry and now the climbingnarc drops the hammer down on Roadside Attraction.
I only downrate problems once a year to lessen the impact on the ego of others…
good to see old school has taught you well with bandana.
very funny
great climb, that was the first one I did when I visited the Red years ago. Lots of people always talked about the sport routes there, but I thought the cracks were awesome!
