OOOOHHH NNOOOOOO ! many folks are turned off by the feeling that they are just climbing out of holes at rmnp. the movement on the problems is typically insane, but the lines cannot compare aeshtetically to chucks of stone sitting in some lush alpine european meadow ala graham’s dosage segments.

(Sandbagging is done on purpose, right? its known that Dave grades stiff). A few holds have broken since his ascent, including an important undercling, and the previous edge to that broke in half. pretty sure its no longer 5'12d for the first 4 bolts.

Vinel Sat, 13 Oct 2007 06:35:08 +0000 http://www.b3bouldering.com/2007/10/12/petzl-rock-trip/#comment-729 Hi. Congratulations on your impressive blog. On his French Website Lamiche did say that he was very disappointed with RMNP --not with the climbers, he was actually taken in by their motivation. He also added that Jade was a world class problem --except that you can only give it a few tries at at time because one hold butchers your hand. Note that Lamiche has had a bad back and was seeing a chiropractor while he was Colorado. Hi. Congratulations on your impressive blog.
