Not a bouldering piece, but Fred is one of my hero’s, so humor me. He established most of the hardest problems on this rock we call earth. Fred Nicole’s lines have inspired thousands and pushed our imaginations to stretch the possible into reality. The first to climb the grades 8b, 8b+ and 8c, he redefined […]
