Matt Birch recently repeated The Mandala Sit Start (V14) at the Buttermilks outside of Bishop, CA. By my count this is the problem’s 7th ascent. Wade David has photos posted from both qualifying and finals of the Adult ABS Nationals comp. That was a pretty sick lense he was rocking on Saturday night! Dave Graham […]

Hard, Unrepeated American Boulders

Posted February 4, 2008 at 7:22 am · Comments { 211 } ·

I thought it would be interesting to compile a list of hard (V14 and up) boulder problems that have not been repeated in North America. Thanks to everyone for help in compiling these problems (Most of these grades are pure speculation from outside observers): Nuclear War – V14 – Matt Bosley – Harriman State Park, […]

The video of Paul Robinson repeating Terremer (V15) is now available on the Momentum Video Magazine. As I expected, the catch is that you have to be a premium subscriber to see the full video. The free area has a teaser video that features ascents of Chablanke (V11/12) and Indisposed Heroes (V12). The premium area […]

Anatomy of a V13 Flash

Anatomy of a V13 Flash

Posted January 2, 2008 at 12:14 pm · Comments { 20 } ·

Patience is no doubt important as one must wait weeks or even years before the right combination of skill and conditions come together in a singular moment. One must also be extremely dedicated to getting fit […]

Paul Robinson Repeats Terremer (V15)

Posted January 2, 2008 at 11:06 am · Comments { 3 } ·

MVM is reporting that Paul Robinson repeated Fred Nicole’s hitherto unrepeated Hueco Tanks testpiece Terremer (V15) on New Year’s Day. This problem connects Diaphanous Sea (V12) with Terre De Sienne (V14). You may remember seeing Dave Graham come close on it in Dosage 4, but he was unable to finish the line after he ripped […]
