    Ace spotter dodge on the send burn! haha!

  2. Nate

    Does anyone come close to Puccio? Has she sent V15 yet?

    1. Narc

      Not yet...

      1. Owen

        '15 is the year of V15

        1. Narc

          Probably going to be stealing this at some point...

          1. Owen

            Please do :) It'll be a great year, but Im really looking forward to 2017 now.

    Sick send for sure. I was just curious... Is there a consensus on how many moves a boulder problem needs to be before it is deemed ok to call it a wheel? Are there any super long problems that are not called wheels?

    1. Narc

      There is a committee that meets monthly at the Boulder Whole Foods to set out these sorts of guidelines

      1. Sound Check

        I've been trying to find you guys! What are the qualifications for membership? I can downgrade a problem I've never been on. Does that help me out?

        1. Narc

          I'm already occupying that spot on the board, but since I had to move away maybe you can move to Boulder and take my spot?

          1. Sound Check

            As long as I can keep the status quo that knees scums are off you have a deal. Let's negotiate the details offline or else others may want in.

    2. Sound Check

      Wheel problems I'm aware of:

      1) Wheel of Life
      2) Wheel of Chaos
      3) Wheel of Wolvo

      Are there any others?. I could have swore I saw a super long traverse around a large bloc in Spain, but I not longer can find the video. Any help?

      1. Jonah

        Possibly Ali-Hulk? I believe that got a route grade though.

      2. Chris

        I'm going to be really happy when someone names a problem "Wheel in a Blender."

        1. Chris

          Wheel of Blenders would also be acceptible

      3. john

        Wheel of Budha - gunks

      I have come to the conclusion that anything that need a rope to work out the moves to the point you know them off by heart for a rope less ascent is NOT a boulder problem

  4. T

    Is that Ty Landman?

    1. Narc

      Yes. He also climbed this problem last summer.

  5. Josh B

    why don't we ever here news about Ty??? for a while there a couple years ago I thought he had stopped climbing or something

    1. Narc

      A lot of this stuff has to do with who wants attention for their accomplishments, and he is a person who decided he isn't that into that sort of thing any longer. I saw him climbing at Movement all the time before I moved and he was pretty much climbing as you would expect, which is to say he was floating up just about everything.

      1. T

        I respect that a lot, and him for that matter. Not everyone likes spotlight. I'm just a genuine fan and wish we heard more about what he was up to.

  6. Josh B

    also a podcast/Lt11 interview with Ty would be one of the coolest things ever, food for thought

  7. the menace

    so this has nothing to do with the video but sort of the last post. How much do sponsor ships require an athlete to put their ascents out there in video and photo? I would assume it would be much easier to get a sponsor ship if the climber were already in the public eye.

  8. Leen S

    Looks like she did these 2 V14s pretty quick! Bad ass. I want to see her break the barrier and do a V15. If any woman can do it, it's her.

    dai koyamadas' HORIZON problem.. http://www.climbing.com/news/dai-koyamada-completes-super-project-in-japan/ ... and HYDRANGEA for sure http://www.climbing.com/news/another-v16-for-koyamada/
