16 year old Erik Lopez recently climbed two .14d’s in one day at Rodellar, Spain. He climbed Ali-Hulk and made the second ascent of Dave Graham’s Los Borrachos del Mascun. Not a bad day
Ethan Pringle is out in Ceuse with Dave Graham and Chris Sharma, and he just repeated DG’s Bah Bah Black Sheep (.14b/c).
I believe the search for Michael Reardon has been called off. Really a sad sad story, especially for his wife and daughter. If you want to learn more about him, he has a very nice website that is worth checking out.
Yesterday Daniel Woods made the 2nd ascent of Matt Birch’s Somewhere in Time (V13) at the Tramway area in Socal. He also did Black Mamba (V13) there earlier last week.
Sonnie Trotter has been developing an area in Canada called Planet X that he describes as “reminiscent of an untouched Rifle, only without the proximity to a town like boulder and no choss”
2 weeks ago, the ASCI showdown was held in Maryland. This was an invite only outdoor bouldering comp that sounds like it was a really cool event. Lizzy Asher won it for the women by flashing all 4 finals problems to beat Angie Payne, who sent all 4 but did not flash. Sean McColl won for the men, just barely beating Daniel Woods by mere inches. Full write-up at R&I.
