Jimmy Webb, Brion Voges and friends are spending some time at the Horseshoe Canyon Ranch, Arkansas.
The boys seem to be enjoying themselves, and Brion has done his first 8B+, Dave Graham's Lost in the hood. The main difficulty of this problem is the very first move, a weird off balance deadpoint/catch. After that, the rest is easier, around 7B+ or so according to Jimmy, and once Brion manage to stick the first move, he didn't let go.
Jimmy was also very close, and is also close on both Wood...

Summer typically means zero to none serious route action in most hot (sorry!) areas in Europe. There are a couple of exceptions to the rule however, one of which is the Gorges de Loup, an hour's drive North from your favourite luxury yacht in Cannes (there is really no good spot to put down your chopper close to the crags I'm afraid). So, anyway, this is where things have gone down lately. The forever young (thanks to yoga?) Ukranian, Evgeny Krivotseitchev, did Hot chilli beans volcano , 8b+, last week,
