News & Notes – 6/25/2007

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 get a teaser of the send at Chad Greedy’s blog. The full video will be in an upcoming Dosage Video which looks to be quite a long time away at this point.
  • Speaking of Dosage videos, Big Up Productions has their own blog now.
  • The video I’ve been waiting for is finally up on momentumvm.com of Dave Graham doing historic FA’s in RMNP. Included in the video are the problems Skipper Roof V11, L. El Jorge V11, R. El Jorge V8, Golden Rows of Flows V11, and the Automater V13. Here is a picture from the video of DG almost sticking the crux move on the aforementioned Green 45 Project…

  • Joe Kinder had a pretty good day at Maple Canyon the other day when he sent .14b, .14a and .13d all in one day.
  • Issue 5 of the Momentum Video Magazine is starting to find it’s way online. The first 2 videos are up and they feature Fred Nicole and Bernd Zangerl bouldering in South Africa as well as some South Sloper goodness from Wes Powell.
  • Since I was gone (about 10 days) Ramón Julian Puigblanque has done the following: 3 .14c’s, 4 .14b’s, 3 .14a’s (1 onsight), 1 .13d, 3 .13c’s first try and a .13b onsight. Not bad at all…
  • What else did I miss???
