It’s the winter season in Hueco Tanks, TX and with strong youngsters all across the fruited plains lacking anything else to do, the sends are starting to roll in. A couple of years back, the V13 du jour seemed to be El Techo De Los Tres Bs with many climbers sending this onetime V14. This [...]

Only The “Highest Caliber Of Wood Grained Sandstone” For Daniel Woods…
The bouldering at Arkansas’s Horseshoe Canyon Ranch was featured in Dosage III in a memorable piece culminating with Chris Sharma’s FA of Witness The Fitness. This footage is presumably what lured the likes of Ethan Pringle, Ty Landman and Dave Graham to the woods of Arkansas. Given the two high profile pieces on Arkansas bouldering, it was only a matter of time before other strong climbers decided to stop to check things out. UPDATED 12/30/08
Lynn Hill Chablanke (V11/12) Video On MVM
Over the long holiday weekend, Momentum Video Magazine posted up a video by Scott Neel of Lynn Hill’s ascent of Chablanke (V11/12) in Hueco Tanks. You can check it out by clicking here. As usual, a couple of things jumped out at me while watching the brief video (other than the impressive nature of the climbing).
Video: Paul Robinson Sending The Swarm (V14)
Here is one last video from the footage that Paul Robinson was kind enough to send along. This time up he is depicted repeating The Swarm, an “easy” V14 at the Buttermilks outside of Bishop, CA. Along with Hueco’s Esperanza (V14), The Swarm is the most repeated V14 in the U.S. Somewhat notable is that [...]

This incredible photo essay by Keith Ladzinski from his trip to Australia last year with Dave Graham, Nalle Hukkataival and Ian Dory would make a great coffee table book don’t you think? (h/t Josh on twitter for the link).
“You think it will be cool till it isn’t fun anymore”
The North Face catches up with their athlete Alex Honnold to find out a bit more about his and Tommy Caldwell’s big day in Yosemite, his plans to rope solo the same feat for his segment in the Reel Rock Tour and a casual mention of how he free soloed the West Face of El Cap. As to how the idea for the triple link-up came about:
You do one route and you have a lot of time left in the day and you think, “Oh maybe we should have done two.” And eventually you do two with time left over and you say, “maybe we could do three…” and we did three and we didn’t have any time left over so we said, “we’re over it.”
More detail and pictures from Kelly Cordes on the big day here as well.
