Jimmy Webb Continues His Climb

Jimmy Webb‘s seemingly inexorable climb through the bouldering grades continued last weekend with repeats of 2 RMNP V13s in 1 day.  He dispatched Don’t Get Too Greedy and Top Notch, the latter of which required a few hours of shoveling just to climb.  Webb has now done a combined total of 56 V12s and V13s in the past 2+ years according to his 8a scorecard.  V14 can’t be far off can it??  Read more about Webb and friend Brion Voges in this interview they did with UKClimbing.
