Posted March 6, 2009 at 6:49 am · Comments { 4 } ·

In addition to his FA of The Machinist (V13), Nalle Hukkataival managed another V13 FA before leaving Hueco Tanks. He climbed an obvious sit start to Dirty Martini On The Rocks (V9-12 on 8a.nu) to create Tequila Sunrise (V13). Check out Hukkataival’s blog for his updated U.S. trip ticklist where we learn that he flashed a grand total of 4 V12s while in Hueco!

When I was a kid, one of the games we played on the classic Apple IIe computers was Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego. The basic gist of the game was that adults were tricking us into learning geography while we tried to arrest the evil Carmen Sandiego.

Posted March 3, 2009 at 8:30 am · Comments { 16 } ·

I think it’s safe to say that Ty Landman has been having an above average trip to Fontainebleau. On the heels of his ascents of Kheops Assis (V14) and Gecko Assis (V14), Landman recently repeated Satan I Helvete Bas (V14). This is all in addition to having climbed several V13s as well.
