Alex Johnson Climbs Lethal Design (V12)

Posted February 7, 2012 at 10:12 am · Comments { 6 } ·

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.

DiGiulian Signs With Five Ten

Posted February 1, 2012 at 3:08 pm · Comments { 3 } ·

Sasha DiGiulian ends her long relations with Mad Rock and signs with Five Ten:

I had a fabulous relationship with the people there [Mad Rock], but I came to the decision that in order to pursue my career, I had to find a shoe more compatible for my personal preferences. I found this shoe with Five Ten and I am very enthusiastic about this momentous change.

Given the year DiGiulian had and her relatioinship with Five Ten’s new parent company it’s hard to see this kind of move as a surprise.

Desperanza (V15) Repeated By Chris Webb Parsons

Posted February 1, 2012 at 8:04 am · Comments { 1 } ·

Chris Webb Parsons reports on his website that he has done the second ascent of Daniel Woods’ Desperanza, the proposed V15 low start to Esperanza in Hueco Tanks:

Im not sure if the full grade of V15 is correct for this boulder, but being that is a tad harder than Esperanza maybe V15 is correct? I don’t know?

Alex Puccio is also in Hueco with Webb Parsons and she has done a few V10s and the V11 Sunshine.

Understanding Patagonia

Posted January 19, 2012 at 10:55 am · Comments { 0 } ·

The news from the other day aside, things happening in Patagonia are usually outside my purview.  It’s not that I don’t respect what climbers do there, it’s more that I have a hard time identifying with what it must be like to climb there since I’ve never done anything like it.  Posts like this one from Mikey Schaefer that combine a story about a new route on the south face of Poincenot with some incredible photos sure do help though.
