This is one of my must do problems on my lifetime tick list. I am not sure if I can top it out, but sending it to the lip will be enough for me. Great send! A HUGE thank you to Kevin, Nolan, Gaz, Radle and Ken for the spots and pads!!! You guys helped […]
Hit the Ortega’s with my crew Sunday. It has been at least 15 years since I would scour this place for something to climb with my friend Craig Pearson. This area we climbed was new to me and Kevin introduced me to a couple of cool lines. I almost flashed Washed Out (2nd try), probably […]
First Ascent of a new climb in Joshua Tree. No idea how hard, but once it gets some traffic should probably settle in the V6 range…? M.Turner Nice job Mike! Looks like a good problem.
The weather while we were in Yosemite was less than ideal but I managed to scrape my way up the ultra classic King Cobra, Midnight Lightning and Bruce Lee. All three are masterpieces in their own right- tall, clean features on immaculate Yosemite granite. Each problem requires something different from your climbing repertoire; from the […]
An okay hard start added onto an excellent problem. Vino Rojo by itself is definitely a better problem, but I had to do this after it cost me a hole in my finger. Much better beta for the tall folks for the top out.
Alex Johnson stopped by Bishop on the way from Yosemite to Boulder for one day, with one goal in mind: to climb the inspiring and imposing highball Luminance. A big crew came out to help make the landing safe. Alex flashed the rig, and Mark Heal, Josh Horsley, Steve Bradshaw, and Elliot Faber also did […]
Here is a cool flashback video from 2008. You ever wonder how these guys like Dave Graham get so strong? I am sure they have some genetic advantages, but ultimately they work hard at their craft. This hang board circuit is crazy, super strong finger power.

A very cool problem. As Rob mentions in the post. The grade maybe closer to V6, as I reflect on Acid Wash right I did a week ago from the stand and sit. I do believe Acid Wash right from the stand is a bit more technical and powerful, so V6/6+ is probably right. All […]
I managed to capture some good sends one nice morning at the Grandma Peabody. Good temps came in and psych was high. Jeremy Ho climbed the fierce Center Direct. I took down my nemesis The Mystery (felt like v12 to me!) and Mark Heal impressively fired off the burly and nasty Direction (V13). I will […]
