From the sounds of it people from all over the Climbingnarc.com reading area are getting crushed with snow this winter and here in southeast Wisconsin it is no different. We have already had twice as much snow as last year and this is the most total snow we have had in over ten years. Yesterday [...]

Random Winter Pictures
I added some random winter themed pictures to the Pictures page. They were taken either out behind our apartment complex or at Lapham Peak State Park. I think they are some of the better pictures I have taken since I got my new camera, but I still have a lot to get better at!

Lapham Peak Snowshoeing Pictures
I was pretty lucky to get a set of snowshoes for Christmas and then have it snow 6 inches 3 days later. Last night I headed out to Lapham Peak State Park to test them out. While the aesthetics of the trail were definitely lacking (you can see houses and some major roads for much [...]

Mountain Climbing – Wisconsin Style
It was such a beautiful day for my day off today and seeing as climbing was out of the question, I decided to do some mountain climbing instead. Unfortunately I live in Wisconsin. Therefore my only option for gaining some altitude was to climb manmade structures. Behold the highest point in Waukesha County at Lapham [...]

News & Notes
Jimmy Webb’s Climbed 99 Problems And The Island (V14) Was One
Ok. Horrible title. Forgive me.
Anyway, Jimmy Webb is about a week into his first trip to Font. Last week he managed that one day ascent of Kheops Assis (V14), and according to his 8a scorecard this week he managed a relatively quick repeat of Dave Graham’s The Island a once V15 but now maybe V14 at Coquibus Rumont. This latest ascent puts him at 99 problems V10 or harder in the past 12 months which is notable for being 99 more V10s or harder than I’ve done in my entire life1.
Golden Direct Repeated By Ben Spannuth
Ben Spannuth, who recently started a blog at LT11, grabbed a rare repeat Golden Direct at the Cathedral in Southern Utah according to his 8a scorecard. Golden Direct was first done in 2008 by Joe Kinder at a suggested grade of 5.14d and was subsequently repeated by the likes of Chris Sharma and Jonathan Siegrist. Having climbed five other routes in the 5.14c/d range in the past 6 months, Spannuth felt Golden Direct warranted a grade of 5.14c.
1 CommentAlex Johnson Climbs Lethal Design (V12)
Alex Johnson gave the highballs in Bishop a break to check out the bouldering in Red Rock, Nevada where she repeated the V12 highball Lethal Design according to her 8a scorecard:
great support crew and tons of pads! long and crimpy. worked out all the moves quick and sent first burn.
Since the start of 2012 she has done some eight V10′s or harder across Yosemite, Bishop and Red Rock.
Update: Climbing.com caught up with Johnson to discuss the ascent
