Summer Monsoon

Posted on 06. Aug, 2010 by B3.

Each year in August, the monsoon rains swell up from the south west and it rains here in Colorado. This past weekend was mostly rainy and I ended up sitting in a several caves for about four hours waiting out the rain. The boulders never dried. It looks as though things will continue to be [...]

Defining a Problem, continued.

Last week Paul Robinson reclimbed Black Eagle in Rocklands after several holds had broken. A good effort on Paul’s part and this is a very nice wall and I am certain what Paul did is really worthy. Paul seems to suggest a renaming of the problem to “Bleagle.” This brings back the idea [...]

Mt. Evans

Posted on 27. Jul, 2010 by B3.

It was a great weekend up at Wolverine Land. New projects were found, new projects were sent, the weather was mostly great and motivation for new boulders is very high. I have been going up with Brian Capps, Dave Graham, Jon Cardwell and of course Chad Greedy. Good times. I’ll let the photos [...]

Defining a Boulder Problem

Posted on 14. Jul, 2010 by B3.

What does it mean to climb a boulder problem? The word bouldering itself does appear at dictionary.com (which most serious boulderers would find amusing) and also at Merriam-Webster but not in Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary.
It’s easy to conjure the image of Midnight Lightning, in Yosemite or The Mandala, in Bishop. A singular line up [...]

Mt. Evans

Posted on 12. Jul, 2010 by B3.

Although the weather threatened on Saturday, things held off and conditions were almost crisp. Being July 10th I don’t know of any place in the country that could say the same.
