I just returned from Hueco and although I had a good time, I didn’t manage one hard problem. While this was certainly frustrating, it comes with the territory. As much time as I spend climbing there are always peaks and valleys. I went with Brian Camp and Andre Defelice, who just returned from [...]

After another rest day, we went back to Nagual for round 2. This time I made two very good links, getting through the bottom twice and falling at what seemed to me to be past the crux. Unfortunately, my skin was failing on the sharp holds and we never got to go back. [...]

The next day we went out on a tour to the East Spur. I was psyched for anything new and found myself at the base of the amazing Fred Nicole problem Nagual V13. I quickly did all of the hard moves, save one, and was happy with that effort. I rested until [...]

The last week in Hueco has been incredible. After spending most of my time in the South on easier problems, I decided to put effort into something hard. The obvious choice was Slashface, a classic and historic V13 put up by Fred Nicole in the late 90s. A large jug broke off the [...]

How time flies. We have moved on to Hueco Tanks and things are happening fast. Today Angie climbed Chblanke V11 on North Mountain. This problem was originally graded V12, but the consensus seems to be one grade less. Ang. had tried the problem a couple of days two years ago and [...]
