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.

That was amazing. Really inspiring to see such a great climb and climber. The route is like a sport route with Trad gear. Perfect!
Great looking route and sweet video. Nice send Matt!
one of the few climbing videos i’ve seen recently that has gotten me psyched to climb harder. brilliant, brilliant line.
Peter I totally agree. Inspiring! That line is just soooo pretty!!
Bold and hard. Nice. Anyone know the name of the song?
Really awesome.
With all these trad posts lately, I’m surprised Rhoads hasn’t been on commenting his heart out.
Does anybody know what the “R” in the grade stands for?
R means that climbing is runout and a fall could result in injury
I’ve always thought that the line doesn’t really look that good.
