Last spring, before Dave Graham left Boulder, he and I had driven to a number of places looking for new boulders. Several days we went to Guanella Pass.

The last few weeks I have been far less diligent than normal about posting. I’ve been sport climbing, working, and preparing to head back to school in the spring. I’ve just simply been busy and haven’t had time to write the kinds of well thought out posts I usually try to post. Additionally, my camera [...]

My sport climbing adventure to Wild Iris was humbling, motivating, relaxing and not without some bouldering. Fall had arrived at the high elevations in Wyoming. The aspen were brilliantly gold, red and orange and the weather was warm and dry. Saturday we got out early, warmed up on a 5.10d and got right to work [...]

This weekend I am headed to Wild Iris, outside of Lander, WY, to try my hand at climbing a hard sport route. For over 10 years I have been exclusively bouldering, only flirting with sport climbing occasionally. It has, however, been a dream of mine to climb 5.14 someday. That dream is one I am [...]

A few years ago I wrote about Paul Robinson repeating Echale and lamenting that it was so manufactured. I also wrote previously about how the younger generation should be stepping out and developing not just new problems but new areas. Nearly every climbing legend has reached such status because of their willingness and ability to [...]

This weekend, looking to reconnect with my old friend Ben Scott, I made my way to the Rawah Wilderness with Justin Jaeger to check out some new boulders. Ben has been calling this area the Canal Boulders, and the cluster was discovered by Ft. Collins local Jeremy Medley. For those who don’t know, Ben has [...]

This summer has been a great year for bouldering development in the alpine realms, not only in Colorado, but around the country as well. For a number of years, Colorado was one of the only places in the US that had a legitimate alpine bouldering destination, Rocky Mountain National Park. This was followed (in a [...]
