Wow!
Thanks for the kind regards, folks… It’s almost as if there is a shift of values happening in bouldering today, and not a moment too soon. It’s amazing how much we can accomplish if we support each other in a positive manner, rather than with infighting and backstabbing and so on.. So, again, thanks..
Boulder Canyon is great! But, let;s not forget the awesome potential that areas like the Flatirons still hold for those willing to hike.. Maybe not the ‘irons Proper, but that same fin goes a ways, if you know what I mean..
As far as NMGG goes, I split my tip shooting for my website, and bailed.. Ouch, but oh well.. There is so much footage of that line, beautiful though it may be! Check out MVM to see P Rob WALK it.. or B3 for Jamie’s solid send. Archives, both..
Thanks again, see y’all out there as soon as I get back (and it stops raining!)
ps.. the double cracks at Cobb Rock are still there, waiting to be v15+ FA’d… Who?!
I need a hero!…. He/She’s gotta be strong, and they gotta be fast and they gotta be larger than li-eeefe..

Chris is one of the nicest people I have ever met climbing. He was excited about any climb, and the effort you put in. Truly a kind person, and strong climber. Not often you meet pros that are as personable as Chris. Good to see more media of him! Chris where is the video of NMGG?

Well, Evans and the Park are of course better, but in the winter they aren’t options. Personally, I think Boulder Canyon is way better than the Flatirons, especially in terms of double digit climbs. I think it’s awesome that there are people out there who establish these new FAs and I have nothing but respect for the time and effort it takes to do so.

The reason Boulder Canyon still has potential for bouldering FAs are the many much better areas in the proximity. While there is some very good climbing to be found there, most will head to Evans or the Park or the Flatirons. Chris has done a great job in ferreting out these problems.
