Paul Robinson has made the first flash of Nagual V13 in Hueco Tanks. This is a standard V13 and if anything, is on the harder end of the scale. A while back Chris Sharma fell off the last move which was documented in the film Dosage IV on his flash attempt. This is certainly the [...]

Paul Robinson has started his annual trip to Hueco off right, with sends of Esperanza V14, Slashface V13 as well as the second ascent of SÃ´l AdÃ»nÃ¢mentum. Nick Duttle had suggested hard V14 for the latter but Paul repeated it very quickly and has suggested low end V12. I am sure there will be more [...]

Unfortunately all is not well in New England. Last night we got hit with 8-10 inches of snow. We managed to keep the topout relatively dry by using a tarp, but it was a cold and steep hike up to the Speed Boulder. Our crash pads (not to mention just about everything else) were soaking [...]

Today Brian and I went up to the Speed Boulder, outside of Great Barrington. This time the lip was caked with ice from the storm yesterday and we could only work on the lower moves of problems. Brian climbed very well on his first day on Something From Nothing V12. He was also a hero [...]

The weather continues to shut us down and it has gotten mildly frustrating. It snowed another 2 inches last night, and although we were assured Connecticut was dry, it was not. We spent several hours trying to dry up some nice roof problems. I was impatient and just starting trying Busted Shadow V11. The problem [...]

Nick Duttle has added a new V14 in Hueco Tanks, SÃ´l AdÃ»nÃ¢mentum. It is a direct start to Fern Roof and it finishes up on Wild Turkey. Nick has suggested “hard” V14 and if the grade holds it will be one of the hardest problems in Hueco Tanks and the USA. SÃ´l AdÃ»nÃ¢mentum is on [...]
