"No One Mourns the Wicked" V17/9A-First Ascent
(Kommentare: 0)
Dating back to Daniel Woods's first ascent a decade ago, people said there could be a low start to Defying Gravity V15. But people thought the single move on Defying Gravity might be one of the hardest single moves in the world. It was thought that climbing av13/8B boulder into such a difficult and low percentage move could be impossible. Nathaniel decided that this year he would go back to Thunder Ridge Colorado and see if he could truly master the move and add in this new and difficult intro. This is the story behind the first ascent of No One Mourns the Wicked V17.

Katie Lamb Sends “Box Therapy”
(Kommentare: 0)
Katie Lamb, 25, has skipped the V15 grade and made the fourth ascent of Daniel Woods’s Box Therapy in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado. In doing so she’s become the first woman to climb V16.
“The pieces fit together on Box and quickly it was about silencing my doubts and flipping the switch,” she wrote on Instagram. “It’s a headspace fed as much by days outside shooting the shit as by days alone in the mountains. I spent some time in July walking up to this meadow trying to fill my cup, and I’m pretty happy with how it turned out.”
Lamb, who grew up in the Boston suburbs and has been climbing for most of her life, has previously sent a number of V14s, including classics like New Baseline, The Penrose Step, and Jade. Earlier this year, she made the long-awaited first female ascent of Dave Graham’s Bishop testpiece Spectre, which goes at either V13 or V14+ depending on your size.

Isabelle Faus „Spidey“ V14+++ Nomad Cave

I climbed this boulder back in March. I think this is the hardest thing i've done so far! I love climbing in this cave, despite it being a drop off, it has some of the most amazing moves and sequences. Spidey gets harder with every move, the first half is v9, then a few moves of v11 climbing, and ending with a hard v13. It looks long but def more of a power boulder than and endurance climb. Super proud to have climbed a low angle crimpy V14 with Grinch back in February, and then a steep slopey one a month later. Grateful to my body, for the time I get to be outside, and for good times with friends!
