I have gotten several comments about Idaho. Here is the best picture I got of the Warpath Roof. You can’t see the beginning of the problem, but you can see the middle two V10 sections, and a hold or two of the last V10 section, which heads straight up from the dark brown circle and [...]

The last day of our trip we headed up to Castle Rocks, Idaho. Castle Rocks is very nearby City of Rocks, the famous roped climbing area, and our goal was to check out a James Litz problem called Warpath V14. Mike Call and (SLC) Tyler gave us the tour. The scenery is spectacular and it [...]

We decided to head west for the last few days of our trip, to Joe’s Valley. Joe’s is a great place to unwind, and we spent the last few days there repeating some old classics and putting up a few of our own. Angela did the second female ascent of Jitterbug Perfume V10/11, which is [...]

Today was a great day and Rolson, Brian Camp and I went up to the Park and we all climbed Veritas V11 from the sit start. This is an outstanding problem on good rock. It is one of the more proud lines in Colorado and very much not my style. I had tried it a [...]

Cul de Chien The Island 8C, Cuqiubus Rumont Our final few days in Fontainebleau were a bit marred by the weather. Often times the things we climbed on were determined by what was dry. It was a bit frustrating to have such little choice, but there is not much to be done when holds are [...]

Yesterday, we had a very nice, albeit warm day running around Fontainbleau climbing some nice problems. The evenings here are pleasant and it is a good time to send your project. It has also been raining quite a bit and we have tried to squeeze in as much climbing as we can. We only climbed [...]

As we get more and more time to explore the forest we have seen many amazing problems. My favorite sectors are away from the road tucked into the woods with a handful of nice problems on great rock. We have been limited by the weather which is a bit frustrating, and somehow our grand European [...]

Dave Graham has added one of the hardest problems in the forest. No name on his new roof at Coquibus Rumont, but I believe he will suggest 8C. Last night I got to see some video and it looks amazing, with huge moves and very good rock. Well done!

It wasnâ€™t easy leaving Switzerland. We had perfect granite, awesome weather, and a lot of motivation. Fontainebleau is one place that could lure me away. â€œIt is by far the best area in the worldâ€ â€œIt blows Hueco Tanks awayâ€ â€œIf you think Switzerland is amazing, wait until you go to Font.â€ The expectations were [...]

Our time here is Switzerland has come to an end. It has been a near perfect 5 weeks of granite bouldering. Magic Wood became snowy again and so I was left to try and clean up a few things close by before we head to Fontainebleau. Ryan and I both climbed The Riverbed, an amazing [...]
