A few weeks back, Skyler Weeks opened a new dyno at Clear Creek Canyon, CO called Zion. You might be asking yourself, who is Skyler Weeks and why would I care about some dyno in CCC? It turns out that Skyler Weeks is the world record holder for dyno-ing, so when it took him 76 [...]
A Conspiracy Theory That Has Nothing To Do With The Election
RMNP: Kind Boulder
During our time in RMNP last month, one of the highlights for me was revisiting the Kind Boulder near Emerald Lake. It was one of the boulders I had distinct memories of visiting on my prior RMNP trip 7 years ago. Unfortunately, time dulled my memory of the specific directions for reaching the area. Thankfully, [...]

Johnson, Puccio & Payne Crushing V12 In Colorado
The summer bouldering season of 2007 was one for the record books in Rocky Mountain National Park. It seemed like every week a new double digit problem was being established or repeated en masse. Back in early May of this year, I had a post of RMNP bouldering videos where I predicted that the summer [...]
RMNP Bouldering: Mikala
Going into the bouldering leg of our trip in RMNP, I had pretty low expectations. The cast from my latest surgery had only been off for 2 months, I got bouted in Yosemite recently and didn’t feel all that strong during my most recent outing to Governor Dodge. However, I surprised myself on our first [...]

News & Notes
What Did You Do This Weekend?
Tommy Caldwell and Alex Honnold spent Saturday romping up big walls in Yosemite. The pair free climbed Freerider on El Cap (6:45 climbing), the South Face of Mt. Watkins (2:40 climbing) and the Regular Northwest Face on Half Dome (5 climbing) in just over 21 hours. More at Climbing.com. So…how was your weekend??
Ethan Pringle On Jumbo Love
Ethan Pringle is back at Mt. Clark, home to that one route first done by that one guy:
Projecting a route like this requires all of your attention, and having to devote all of your attention to a route like this can get really tiring really fast. At some point, you just want to get it over with. Of course, afterward you feel a mix of relief and loss. Relief that you’re done and the epic is over, and loss that this magnificent line doesn’t require your presence anymore. But for me, I think I’ll have to take a nice long break from serious route projects for a little while after this. Like Randy Levitt said, “It’s like a limestone El Cap.” Obviously, that’s a bit of an exaggeration, but it does sort of convey the amount of work required to complete a project of this caliber.
Pringle is no stranger to Jumbo Love, having tried it even before its FA back in 2008. You can see some footage of those attempts here.
When In Doubt Pack It Out
I don’t know about you, but I always try my best to climb close to an actual bathroom. In case you don’t, the Access Fund has a nice refresher on what to do when nature calls.
