Yesterday was another great day at Lincoln Lake, aka Wolverine Land. The weather was great all evening and I was there with an awesome crew. I spent most of my time climbing and not taking pictures, but I snapped a few. Brion Voges made the first ascent of the slab problem, with ridiculous [...]

For me, developing new and difficult problems on great rock has always been very motivating, and lately I have the chance to do so at Lincoln Lake, near Mt. Evans. The Mt.

Sunday I went to the Hallett Boulder to shoot some pictures for the guidebook. I didn’t have any intention of climbing, but when some friends Will and Dan showed up, I was psyched to pull on a bit. The weather was cool and breezy up high.

Great news from the new zone! Daniel Woods made the FA of a stellar project found and cleaned up by Dave Graham. Here are some pictures of Dave trying it from Sunday. I think Daniel is calling it 8B. Sick! Dave has been putting an astonishing amount of effort into scoping, finding and [...]

Sunday I went to an old area that has been bouldered at for years. Dave Graham is in town, living next door, and he and I poured over ideas as to where to look for new boulders. I had first visited the area in 2002, but it was dark and I couldn’t see [...]

A while back I posted about a new V14 in Brazil, O Dia Santo. American Daniel Woods, not one to take low grades, has made a repeat, suggesting “soft” V13.
