Pete Whittaker and Tom Randall have been training hard in a dank cellar in Sheffield for several months and are now jetting off to America to find and climb some very wide cracks.
"The part of the trip I'm most apprehensive about is trying Lucille in Vedauwoo (it's such a hugely significant route) or realising that I've actually booked our flights for the wrong country and we're off to Yemen." commented Tom.

At Vedauwoo, Wyoming, home to many a weird and nasty off-width crack, J.P. Oullete (aka, Pee Wee) has grabbed the second ascent of Justin Edl's Home On The Range, a short but tricky flared crack, given 5.14.
Pee Wee told BD:
Although HTR is only 50 feet long, this little bastard is very hard. It is slightly overhanging, and it aggressively leans right at a 45-degree angle. And it is as flared as the Vedauwoo cracks gets... For this kind of crack, I use a weird sloper-hand-finger-jam combo....

40-year-old Yuji Hirayama, the legendary all around climber from Japan, made a trip to British Columbia late this summer. Not surprisingly he left with a couple of notable sends that included a repeat of the Squamish trad climbing testpiece Cobra Crack (5.14) and an onsight of Dinosaur Highway (5.14a) at Horne Lake. Besides the impressive sends, Hirayama [...] Related posts: Masters Of Stone VI Preview: Hans Yuji Nose Speed Record Footage Video of Sonnie Trotter Climbing Cobra Crack 5.14 Matt Segal Does

Justin Edl has climbed what could be one of the hardest crack pitches in America with his recent ascent of Home on the Range (5.14 / F8b+?) at Vedauwoo, Wyoming.
Describing the route on Mountain Project he said:
"The grade on this is nothing but a proposition, and it is meant to be honest when compared to other crack climbs around the U.S. Matt Segal checked out the line before I did the FA and he told me he felt that it was solid 14, so it might even be on the stiff side. I was going to...

I was chatting with Pierre Délas from Kairn who had some news. Here is an interview Pierre did with Adam Ondra during the Youth World Championships at Valance. It's in French, but if you don't understand you can always use Google's language tools or something similar. On the subject of Ondra, the day before the competition, he repeated Pierre Bollinger's Training day , 8c+, at Kronthal. The day after the competition, he did Long Road to Ruin , 8c+, in the Frankenjura. Alizée Dufraisse has onsighted yet

Josh Helke. Owner of Organic Climbing. Corporate Headquarters in background. I had a great bouldering session on Saturday up at Vedauwoo. We met up with Josh Helke who runs Organic. Josh is a rare breed. A small business owner who employs local folks to make high quality products that last a long time and perform well. Quality is a hard sell to the general public though, when there is so much to gain by impersonating quality with custom-designed materials and techniques that mimic good design like a ...
