Canopener Re-opened?
Word on the street has it that, thanks to a visiting Japanese climber, the classic V10 Canopener in Poudre Canyon, CO had its likely first ascent Saturday since a key start hold broke off.

More On Dave MacLeod’s 5.14b Free Solo
Last week, Dave MacLeod made news when he reported that he had free soloed Darwin Dixit (5.14b) at Margalef, Spain.
