Paul Robinson is back from his trip to California with Daniel Woods. I would have to believe he is a little bit disappointed he did not send problems like Black Mamba (V13) or Somewhere in Time (V13) like Mr. Woods did, but it sounded like a great trip nonetheless. If you didn’t see it in […]

A few quick hitters: Jon Cardwell has been having a good run out in Europe. In the past month he has done 4 .14b’s. Most recently he completed La Chronique de la Haine at Ceuse. Alan Moore recently sent The Gay Science (.13d), Gayness (.14a) and Zulu (.14a) at Rifle in the same day. If […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

More on the weekend later but here is some spray from the past week: Helping me get my previous predictions off on the right foot, Ty Landman made the 2nd ascent of Ode To The Modern Man at Mt. Evans and gave it a grade of hard V14. See video of him putting it “in […]
