Paul Robinson has made the first flash of Nagual V13 in Hueco Tanks. This is a standard V13 and if anything, is on the harder end of the scale. A while back Chris Sharma fell off the last move which was documented in the film Dosage IV on his flash attempt. This is certainly the [...]

Unfortunately all is not well in New England. Last night we got hit with 8-10 inches of snow. We managed to keep the topout relatively dry by using a tarp, but it was a cold and steep hike up to the Speed Boulder. Our crash pads (not to mention just about everything else) were soaking [...]
