Starting after Thanksgiving, Angela and I will be traveling for an extended period. I will be headed to New England (Rumney, Pawtuckaway etc) to start things off, and then after Christmas we will be in the South (LRC, HP40, etc) followed by either Hueco or Bishop. This will all be a warm up for two [...]

Vasya Vorotnikov has climbed the Dave Graham route Jaws at Rumney on the Waimea Wall. His is the first repeat after a crucial hold broke and he has suggested the grade of 5.15a (he has also changed the name to Jaws II). If the grade sticks this will be the hardest route east of the [...]

Long’s Peak Saturday the forecast was for rain and snow in the afternoon. We hoped to get up to the Park early and beat it. The alarm was set for 7:30AM. I often check the Estes Park webcams as the weather can be quite different from that in Boulder. A low cloud hung over the [...]

The Petzl Rock Trip has made its way to Slade, Ky and the Red River Gorge. When I lived in Michigan I probably spent 25 weekends down there sport climbing and bouldering. There is so much rock down there and it is all very high quality. In my mind, the Red is a world class [...]

This fall I have scraped my previous plans due to lack of time outside. I have decided to put all of my effort into the Automator V13. The Automator was put up in 2000 by Dave Graham. It has 11 ascents to my knowledge. The crux move revolves around a very hard move off of [...]

Andre DeFelice has made the 10th ascent of Circadian Rhythm V13 in the Poudre Canyon. He is the first person from Ft. Collins to send the problem. Sounds like he has been climbing alot up there lately. Circadian is one of the oldest, least repeated, most attempted and most amazing V13s in Colorado. This is [...]

Meathook

So after doing the Hang and getting thoroughly shut down on Meathook, I decided to do a little research. The first place I went to was the man himself, Jim Holloway. Holloway worked the problem for 20 days in 1974 and 75 before finally sending it. How was it that two climbers (Paul and myself), [...]

Here is a quick video of Mike Feinberg on Golden Rows of Flows V10 or V11. First ascent by none other than Dave Graham himself. This problem is near the El Jorges. Very atypical for the Park but nevertheless a nice boulder.

Horsetooth Reservoir Saturday I went to the Horsetooth Hang with Olson, Tyler, Paul, Nick Sherman, Chris Danielson, Seth Allred and others. It was a very windy day. My main goal for being there was to help out with the Five Ten shoe demo. I figured that maybe with the comp. going on we could get [...]
