The Momentum Video Magazine has posted a clip from Best Of The West of Chris Sharma repeating Fred Nicole’s Hueco Tanks testpiece Esperanza (V14). Beyond the climbing being impressive to watch, the clip sparked a couple of questions in my mind.
A Conspiracy Theory That Has Nothing To Do With The Election
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 [...]

Mometum Video Magazine Redesigned
I think I just blew my mind. Or rather, Mike Call blew my mind. I haven’t had a chance to check out the entire new site, but the Momentum Video Magazine has had a make over and it looks pretty nice. A quick glance raises the question of whether or not people are going to [...]

As usual, I go out of town and a ton of things happen: Last week Ty Landman visited Squamish and did what he normally does, which is climb hard problems. He did 1 V13 and a couple of V12′s including one flash. Throw in a handful of V10′s and V11′s and I think most people [...]

Here are some tidbits and things to check out: Dave Graham recently added another 5.14d to his impressive list of sends when he sent Ali-Hulk at Rodellar, Spain. Infamous Ali-hulk Cave Andy Raether recently repeated Tommy Caldwell’s route Grand Old Opry at the Monsatery outside of Drake, CO. Back in 1998 Tommy graded it .14a [...]

Finally back with it…somewhat… Of course the big news while I was gone was Daniel Woods fulfilling another portion of my earlier predictions when he did the first ascent of the Green 45 Project at RMNP. He has called the problem Jade and suggested the grade of V15. Several cameras were rolling and you can [...]

News & Notes – 6/4/2007
Back from rock climbing in Iowa of all places… Joe Kinder and Jon Cardwell both repeated Andy Raether’s route Kuru 5.14c at Rifle, CO. Joe commented that the route is 45% manufactured which sort of gives you the impression that he says this as a negative against the route. Of course 8a overreacts to this [...]

Turns out Paul Robinson was next as he did the 5th ascent of Dave Graham’s Memory Is Parallax (V14) over the weekend.

Dave Graham’s Memory Is Parallax (V14) is the flavor of the month among the Frontrange’s elite boulderers as in the past few days both Matty Hong and Carlo Traversi have joined Daniel Woods in punching their tickets on the send train of this great new problem. Who’s next??
