Back in the day when I visited RMNP to explore the alpine bouldering there was to be done there, I distinctly remember seeing some pads around the boulders that curiously didn’t seem to have any owners. There were only a handful of people bouldering in the Park on a given day back then so it […]

Dave Graham – Dreamtime
In commemoration of his sending Realization, here is a quality video from 2002 of Dave Graham climbing Dreamtime (V14*) at Cresciano, Switzerland.

News & Notes – 7/30/2007
Paul Robinson is back from his trip to California with Daniel Woods. I would have to believe he is a little bit disappointed he did not send problems like Black Mamba (V13) or Somewhere in Time (V13) like Mr. Woods did, but it sounded like a great trip nonetheless. If you didn’t see it in […]
