Dave Graham has made the FA of an amazing new problem just outside of Estes Park called Memory is Parallax V14. Dave has been trying the problem on and off for a few months, but finally made the FA of this demanding new testpiece. Dave has referred to the cluster as “Elkland” although this was [...]

I hadn’t planned on getting back to Hueco for a while, but I did have an unexpected opportunity to go down this past weekend for a few days and so I hopped on board with hopes to get back to The Feather in better conditions. This month the weather has been mostly miserable in Boulder. [...]

As the year winds down, here is a quick summary of the most popular posts on B3 for the year 2011. The Endovalley posts seemed to draw the most attention, probably because of the quick and sharp reactions from the locals and subsequent response from the rest of the readers. My favorite post? Probably the [...]

Apologies for the website going down. It was unexpected on my end as well, but things are up and running again and will continue to do so. Now on to more pressing matters… Adam Ondra has been on an absolute bouldering tear lately. Not only has he recently established his own V16 Terranova, but he [...]

Daniel Woods has made a flash ascent of Entlinge V15, in Murgtal, Switzerland. Very well done! It wasn’t so long ago that V14 and V15 were almost unheard of. Clearly Daniel is one of if not the most powerful climbers in the world and that he is at the top of the game is no [...]

The second half of our trip to Hueco Tanks was unfortunately marred by food poisoning. I threw up no less than 10 times and I didn’t climb the rest of the trip. I had a total of only 2 climbing days. It was frustrating not being able to climb the last days in such a [...]

Adam Ondra climbs V16

Adam Ondra has made the FA of Terranova V16 at Holštejn, in the Czech Republic. This is certainly a contender for the hardest boulder problem in the world, especially in light of the fact that Paul Robinson has retroactively downgraded Lucid Dreaming in Bishop to V15. Ondra had this to say about his ascent on [...]

The last three days I have been in Hueco Tanks with Mike Moelter, Mark “Cookie” Hobson, Bobby Moelter, Jordon Griffler, Trevor Turmelle, Ryan Sewell and Jon Cardwell, fresh off the Petzl Roctrip in China. It has been a blast running around the boulders and sharing so many laughs and good times. The weather has been [...]

Today I leave with the setting crew from Movement Climbing and Fitness for a 5 day trip to Hueco Tanks. I haven’t been in a few years. From 2003-2009 I traveled to Hueco at least once a year, and I have spent more than 4 months of my life there. It is a very special [...]
