just a quick note before slowly un-surfacing in the murk again like a prowling gator: everything great about jamie’s guidebook and phillip’s guidebook is directly related to my input. everything drawing critisizm for both of these books is directly attributable to jamie. and peter beal.

Hello Jamie. I hope you are well. New v14 is awesome problem Dean Potter and I found around 15 yrs ago. Way to hard for us. What I’m interested in is the “easy” v10. Where is it, up there? I don’t know if the new developers have checked out the saddle to the right of Window Rock. Awesome problems and awesome potential. The Houseboys problem looks cool, i don’t know where it is

I expected to read something about Nalle’s V14 FA and ascent of Gecko Assis in a day!

You must be out bouldering somewhere I guess…

that tall iceberg looking boulder behind Kahuna fell off the sand cliff while I was living there. Pretty sure Pete Zoller climbed the back right arete like 2 days later and called it V7. That was many moons ago. You probably already knew that. Which means this post really isn’t all that helpful.

Comment on The Campus Board by Aaron S

Not sure if this will get seen, given this is such an old post. I actually use the campus board more when I have pulley injuries because campusing doesn’t aggravate them for me. I have a tendency to close crimp really hard when climbing in the gym and outside, but always stay safely half-crimped or open on the campus board. Kinda goes against Peter’s thinking. (Tho the elbows and shoulders may be a different story, although I’ve had no problems).

Going dynamically from one rung to the next and doing negatives on the campus board fills in the HUGE gap that hangboarding leaves. The need to latch a hold and stop the inertia on top of the normal pull of gravity for your stationary body forces your muscles to work harder.

Patxi is a prime example of someone who uses campusing. I wouldn’t need to campus either if I could climb outside 4 days every week (as many pro climbers do). I know Ondra has stated he campus’s some when training for bouldering.

Thanks for the advice. It is more the idea that in the prelude to Carter lake, the guy rants and raves about all the new development in Biglandia, and then doesn’t list one single problem there. If he wasn’t going to put it in the guide, why list it? I have found some info from mining mountainproject.com rockclimbing.com and 8a.nu, but even the shitty falcon colorado bouldering guide has some stuff listed. I will send him an email. BTW, I love your guide!

@eric, as a guidebook author myself I agree! More information is always better, especially when advertised. I would encourage you to contact the author, Phillip Benningfield regarding your concerns. My knowledge of Carter Lake isn’t that great.

This inspires me, all your posts are brilliant, Jamie. I want to hear more of Dave and I believe he will receive an incredible amount of respect for his efforts, his finds and his amazing lines. That man pushes himself in directions hardly any climbers will go for the glory and experience in climbing. Dave you are more inspiration to me than any other climber today. Hope to catch you around some time. Jamie, be sure to bring Dave and your strength back to Wyoming as there are rocks hidden all over. Devils Kitchen and Falcons Lair are only the sweetener of rock buried in Wyoming. Good Luck!
