B3Bouldering has the lowdown on Mirror Reality, a new V14 established by Daniel Woods in RMNP, CO: There are only a handful of boulders in the area, but this relatively short problem is one of the best. The first move is a difficult one, perhaps the crux, and it is followed by small flat edges [...] New V14 In RMNP By Daniel Woods from Climbing Narcissist Become a fan of ClimbingNarc.com on Facebook Related posts: New V14 From Daniel Woods New V14 In Austria By Daniel Woods Fred Nicoles Entlinge (V14/15)

After several weeks of hiking into Evans Area A, I was getting the approach dialed but getting less and less climbing actually done as the temperatures on the Front Range crept higher. The webcam at RMNP seemed to show that the snow was beginning to recede in earnest so I began heading to the Park instead. The snow was mostly gone where it mattered but a huge mini-glacier obscured most of the boulders east of the Gobot sector. Thus the Warm-up Boulders, The Centaur Boulder, Bush Pilot and European Human

For some reason, it takes me a long time to accept a new project. In a purgatory of non-committment, an idea for a new line will sit for weeks, months, even years. Then, one day, a switch flips. I become obsessed. Usually this happens when I come to the realization that the project is possible. This is exactly what happened yesterday with a line I have been looking at for LONG time. It's right under our noses, just right of the quintessential highball, Evilution. The Grandpa Peabody Several seasons ago,

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...

It was a great weekend of sending up in the high country. Daniel Woods did the FA of Warrior Up V15. This is an amazing roof problem on excellent rock. The first move is the crux, and it involved a massive reach off of a flat undercling in a very steep roof to what [...]

Lise has been training hard at The Third Space recently, and reaping the benefits in endurance. On Saturday - after two fruitless hours stuck in traffic on the M1, edging north towards the Peak until eventually admitting defeat - we went to The Castle where she showed me what she's been doing. Endurance Training 1) Pick a short, easy route - like, a 4A - and whiz up it on a top rope. At the top, don't rest, but continue on and downclimb it. At the bottom, again no rest, just keep going up, and down, and up

Conditions were excellent up at RMNP yesterday but I was feeling tired from several hard previous sessions. After a sluggish warm-up and some chalk-testing, (I have tried three different types of chalk out up there since Metolius is just not working out anymore. Results to follow), I wandered over to the Centaur boulder to see how GB Arete felt. It felt terrible but slightly more doable, so I started working on it again. Strangely, I found I had the strength to cut down the swing after the first move and

Well, it's obviously been quite a while since I posted to this blog. I've been thinking about what to do with the blog for a while since I apparently don't have the motivation to write posts very often. However, I've decided to make another attempt. Over the past month or so I've been getting outside to go bouldering quite a bit, probably about twice a week on average, and I feel like I've been getting stronger and making progress. Flagstaff Mountain has (as usual) been the most common spot since it's only
