V13 Flash In Font By James Kassay

Posted April 11, 2013 at 8:36 am · Comments { 0 } ·

Aussie James Kassay has flashed Dave Graham’s Sideways Daze (V13) in Fontainebleau, France.  This is the 2nd V13 (or harder) flash in the forest after Adam Ondra flashed Gecko Assis back in 2011.  You can see footage of Kassay’s flash here.

Is There Anything This Kid Can’t Do?

Posted March 6, 2013 at 9:48 am · Comments { 4 } ·

Looking back in my archives this morning I noticed a critical lapse in my posts about a certain climber:  Japan’s Toru Nakajima.  Prior to 2013 began he had already had stunning successes on the gritstone at age 15, repeated a number of hard boulder problems in Colorado, sport climbed up to 5.14+ and repeated Dai Koyamada’s Tokoyo (V15).

2013 is beginning in much the same way for Nakajima as he makes his first visit to the forests of Fontainebleau.  Already he’s ticked off problems like The Big Island (V15), Gecko Assis (V14), The Traphouse (V14), The Traphouse Short (V13, flash) and more.

UKC has a good interview with him from late last year which gives more background on this impressive young climber.

Big Island (V15) And More By Chris Schulte

Posted March 5, 2013 at 10:41 am · Comments { 0 } ·

Fresh off a side trip to Switzerland that saw him repeat problems like The Dagger (V14), Chris Schulte returned to Fontainebleau where he finished off Nalle Hukkataival’s The Realist (V14) and his long-term project Vincent Pochon’s The Big Island (V15).  For someone who enjoys climbing compression problems as much as Schulte does, this is surely a tick for the lifetime list.
