This weekend I was feeling a bit under the weather, but it wasn’t enough to stop from getting out to scope a “new area” practically in Estes Park. The reality is that the Nicky’s Boulders (aka The Billards) have been climbed at for a long time. In fact I visited the area in 2002 when [...]

Saturday I went to Upper with Jaeger and Rylan with one goal in mind, finishing the low start to Mirkwood, which Phil Schaall had done the first ascent of last week. I managed the third ascent on Saturday after a bit of work, and I think this is an awesome new problem. Jaeger made an [...]

It always seems like the Park is a great choice this time of year. I haven’t been climbing that much but there are great moderates, new problems and classic hard problems to do in Chaos Canyon and elsewhere.

Several weeks ago I was searching for new boulder problems. In Upper Chaos I stumbled upon a majestic dihedral, one worthy of a strong effort. Putting up new problems is hard work and often takes alot of time and effort. The first day I felt like this problem would go I scrubbed and cleaned the [...]

In Colorado the future of bouldering seems to be long hiking and for those that are willing to put the time in there are very nice problems to be had. There are several zones in RMNP that are a long haul from the trail head and last weekend I visited one of them. After over [...]

Angie Payne made the first female ascent today of European Human Being V12 in Rocky Mountain National Park. She has worked on this problem for the last three years and has finally finished it off. Last week she came desperately close when she stuck the last move on link and fell when her right hand [...]
