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.

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.

Ha, good timing! Just read that post via Will’s blog this morning. Good stuff in there for all of us to keep thinking about.
The same advice would work for any grade from 5.6 to 5.15. Good post!
