While many people have spent time developing Area B over the last few years, this project went strangely neglected. I have been very busy lately but was hoping if I posted pictures someone would head up there and get it done. Nalle writes “Amazing problem! One of the best in CO”. I agree. Time and again, the best climbers spend their time putting up the best problems and in a matter of a few days Nalle has climbed one equal to his ability. Very well done.

Ty Landman has referred to this as the “Dreamtime Project” and while that may be a little much, it’s very good. The sit start seems very hard, maybe V15 or V16, but the stand start is perhaps V12 or V13.

I had a great session at Mt. Evans on Saturday. A huge crew was there and the conditions were good. A group of Southerners including Jon Glassberg, Jimmy Webb, Nate Draughn and Brion Voges climbed several classics, but local boy Paul Robinson earned the employee of the day with his send of The Big Worm V14. I added a nice variation to Bierstadt which starts about 5 ft to the left on a right hand pinch and a left hand edge. I named it after one of my favorite artists, Banksy, in keeping with a theme Ben Scott started so many years ago. Here are some pics from the day.

I also tried a very nice project, which is in the V12 or V13 range, and scoped out an old project from the early days. When completed, this will be the best problem at Mt. Evans.
