South Africa is the best bouldering in the world. The internet is some of the worst. I promise many photos and updates upon my return!

Tuesday I leave for London, then Cape Town and finally the Rocklands. I will be there for a month. The internet seems questionable and I will do everything I can to update as much as possible. If the updates are lacking it is because the internet is lacking and I will post things when I [...]

Nalle Hukataival has continued his tear by putting up one of the best problems in Colorado, Sunseeker 8B. While many people have spent time developing Area B over the last few years, this project went strangely neglected. I have been very busy lately but was hoping if I posted pictures someone would head up there [...]

There is an article in the newest issue of the The DeadPoint Magazine about the “new” bouldering in Red Feather.

The summer in Estes Park has begun… The majestic Hallet’s Peak towers over Tyndall Gorge Emerald Lake is a small area, but there are some classic testpieces. The south side of the drainage is home to Whispers of Wisdom, The Kind Traverse and The Kind. The north side has one boulder with several problems. Large [...]

I had a great session at Mt. Evans on Saturday. A huge crew was there and the conditions were good. A group of Southerners including Jon Glassberg, Jimmy Webb, Nate Draughn and Brion Voges climbed several classics, but local boy Paul Robinson earned the employee of the day with his send of The Big Worm [...]

What does the future of Colorado bouldering hold? Of course many climbers in the Front Range have spent thousands of hours combing the hillsides for the next great area. Surprisingly, Mt. Evans was discovered around 2002, and most of Area A developed in 2003 and 2004, which was not that long ago. It seems that [...]
