Finally! Sent it on my last day in Red Rocks. So good! I'll try the sit on my next visit...

First hard send of 2014! :) long endurance problem with hard crimpy sequences in the lower part, and highball but easy finish...

Finally!!! Hard and different... Got sooo close on the sit, next time...

Unreal!!! My Dream Boulder since I was 6 years old. Hard scary super highball. But sooo amazing!

Definitely 8A+ after the hold broke. Pretty sick, managed to do completely static. No foot cuts. VENGA!! 1 hour and a half.

One of the best lines in the Buttermilks. Scary highball top out... Sooo psyched!!!

Another Bishop classic! Scary boulder highball with a rock following behind you. I'll try Haroun, the sit start on my next trip...

So psyched to have sent this classic boulder. I tried to go for the top out, but fell a few moves after the lip. Next time...

Highball with a hairy top if you're on the short side... ;)

Sooo psyched to send this!!! Not my hardest by far, but a mega classic Yosemite Camp 4 boulder established by the Stonemasters...

Finally tall enough to stick the big Dyno! ;) Psyched to send this California classic FA'd by Chris Sharma

Barely missed the V9 version last year, but did the V11 in 4 tries this year!

Tough Dyno for me...

Would have been an onsight if I hadn't done the 8a+ that shares the same start first...

2nd Go!

2nd Go

Decided to check out Rawyl for my last 4 days in Europe, and I get to send my first 8c!!! Took me 4 tries... Sick route and amazing scenery. PSYCHED! I felt really strong after 2 weeks bouldering in Magic Wood.

Definitely not 8A...

Pretty straight forward except the 2nd move, took me a while to figure it out...

Weird

Finally!!! I worked out the movements quickly, and in short time was able to do it in two halves... but then it took lots more tries to finally send it. Psyched to finish this one off!!!!

Pretty cool climb! So greasy though...

Went super quick at the end of the day! Psyched! Maybe soft?

2nd Go

Screwed up the onsight... :(

Cool climb! Hard start and then eases up...

So fun!

First 8b flash!!! Psyched!

Cool climb, got close to the onsight...

Hard boulder problem for 5 clips then sustained. 3rd Go...

Really pumpy

Cool resistance climb...

2nd Go! Really bouldery start then eases up...

2nd Go

Probably flash able with beta for the start... Hard boulder sequence at start then resistance...

8A and 8A+ on the same day,that's a first!!! I tried it a few days ago with really wet holds. Came back today after sending Massive Attack, and sent it quickly... Psyched!

Tried this last year, but couldn't pull off the ground. Guess I got more power this year... ;)

Yea! So psyched to send this rig! Great powerful climbing leads to a hard sequence over the lip and then fun scary run-out face climbing to the top! Good 'ole Smiffy classic!

Cool powerful movement into fun technical slab!

Awesome line with rad sequences! Pretty short, but nonetheless a great climb! Maybe a little soft for the 8b grade...

2nd Go! So good!!

2nd Go! Doesn't seem to be climbed much. No chalk, and dirt in the holds... Fun though...

Awesome climb with a hard bouldery crux towards the end when you're pumped. Happy to have sent it last day of my trip. My power endurance is coming slowly back after my finger injury.

2nd Go

Cool little line. Time to get the endurance up for the REAL sport climbs. Soft...

Fun climb! Big dyno for the Hueco. Happy to have sent this on my last day in Hueco. Looks like I'm somewhat recovered from my finger injury. 15 minutes.

On a small Boulder straight behind the Get Carter boulder. Start low on the arête to the left of Battle Royale. Move up about 5/6 feet then top out. Cool!

Sick!! On a small boulder straight behind the Get Carter boulder. Start low on the obvious jug, and bust right hand to a small yet positive sharp crimp. From there right hand out to the arête and then pogo to the sloper top. Really cool and I recommend this one!

Yes! So sick! Full Sit down start to Seven Spanish Angels. Start low down and right on a large left facing sloper/pinch about two feet off the ground, move straight up several moves on slopers and a pinch then bust a hard move left to the start of SSA. As for the grade, I feel that it is much harder than many 7C+ (V10)'s I've done, so I'm calling it soft 8A (V11). Nevertheless, so psyched for my hardest FA!! Yeee!!

Ehh...

Finished in style on my last day in Bishop after two easier days to recover. Sooo psyched!!!

Reachy pocket from a heel hook.

One move wonder. Epic top out in a foot of snow.

Need to work heel hooks! The start one gave me so much trouble, after that it was easy for me.

So reachy for me!!!

2nd Go. Weird Dyno off a slopey side pull.

Hard for me because the Toxic Avenger finish Dyno is huge.

Awesome climb with a cool swinging toe hook. I was fully extended both arms and toe. Worked it yesterday until 6 of my fingers were bleeding, then sent it 1st go today.

Did it on my rest day while showing Drew around... 1st try but can't call it a flash as I did the same start hit a different problem.

Had time to kill...

2nd Go.

2nd Go.

8A+ in the guidebook, but felt easier...

My first V10 onsight.

Did it in 10min

Hard short but bouldery route. Initially 8b by Chris Sharma, but it's conglomerate rock, and several holds have broken off, so it's now considered hard 8b+.

Last route of the day on my 5th day on, so I screwed up my onsight. Lowered, pulled the rope, tied back in and sent it...

Short, but very cool route. Bouldery yet very technical... 2nd Go

2nd Go!

2nd Go, first go of this trip.

Magic Light into Magic Light Extension into another extension...

Easy start to hard crux at first anchor, and then crimpy extension.

Some sketchy moves!

I just kept going for this extension on my onsight of Churning in the Wake.

Cool route!

Awesome route, and cool beta from my friend Drew Ruana.

Very hard bouldery beginning, that eases into some cool slab climbing.

Yes!! So psyched GREAT route!! Amazing movement and test of technique!!! One of my favorite routes!!!!!

A Smith Rock classic, much shorter than it looks in the pictures.

Missed the onsight because I held a hold wrong in the initial bouldery crux. Sent it next go...

My 2nd 8a onsight the same day as the first!!!

My first 8a onsight!!!

2nd Go!!!

My first multi-pitch, My First Crack climb

Mean Yosemite Slab...

My first Crack boulder in preparation of my first Crack multi-pitch...

Just Awesome!!!

Fell on the last hard move on my onsight attempt.

Short and bouldery. Not bad, but I definitely like the long routes at Rodellar much more...

Another great route, fun but really pumpy.

Nice climb

My 2nd 8b+!!! Very different from my first one. This was a long 35m (115 feet) overhung pump fest... I had to wait 6 days for it to get dry after the big storm, but still had to change some of my sequence as some holds were still wet... I can't believe it, last year I sent my first and only 7c+, and this year I have already sent 15 7c+ to 8b+.

Harder than El Delfin, I thought...

Second GO. Should have onsighted, but some holds we're still wet after the storm, and my foot slipped on one of them. Oh well...

Sent 3rd Go. Just had trouble on the very reachy crux for me.

Second GO. Fell just at the end on my onsight attempt on a little mistake. Frustrating...

Second GO. Fell on the last crux on my onsight attempt... Had to Dyno several moves as they were quite reachy...

Very cool traverse!

Reachy

Hard. I need to learn Crack climbing...

Awesome 110 feet climb with 17 clips...

Sooo short. A boulder with clips...

Classic!

Crazy!!!! The crux sequence felt really hard, probably v10! Soooo psyched to have sent it!!!!!!

Super Cool

Pretty powerful

Awesome Route!!!

Super Fun

3rd Go, soft

Long. Reminded me how much I hate the heel hook on Aquatic Hitchhiker. Still super psyched for my first 8A+ (V12).

Long, but cool. Lots of heel hooks... Start by climbing Son of Claudius Rufus, downclimb into Froz, and finish on Froz...

Sharp!!!!!! Links Shattered Dreams on a Bed of Lies into Will's Arete...

Fun cool moves...

I saw Axel Ballay from France send it, and thought I should try it. Super cool moves!!! Got the jug lip right as my foot popped and topped it out!!

First send of 2012...

My last send of 2011! Great year where I sent over 20 V8-V11!!!

Soft but Fun.

Very soft,I wish I could call this my 4th V11, but I have to give it V10 because the move to the left side pull was very big for me. I had to do a toe hook on it and then hand match to the toe hook.

Sit start 2nd Go! I almost flashed it but my foot popped on the last hard move.

Cool! Adds a few moves to Monkey Bar Traverse 7B

Slopers

Crimps!

Fun crimps and pockets.

A bit harder than Monkey Bar Direct.

Big Dyno when you're just 5 feet tall...

Classic pumpy crack.

Soft

Solid

Weird and crimpy, 5th try...

Kept on falling on the last hard move which was very reachy for me. Came back the following week and sent it...

painful

super fun

My 2nd V11 two weeks after Schwerer Gustov in Hueco Tanks, TX! On sighted the stand start before.

One move wonder...

Super fun and amazing line. Had to do without the knee bar, I was too short to fit...

My first V11 at 10 years old. Psyched!!!

I had done the stand start V8 in the spring

Huge last move for me

Soft

Soft

Something about that traverse got me really pumped. Alex Fritz tried it at night, and had some scary encounter with ants, and a scorpion. Sooo funny!!!

My First 5.13a

Hard

Sent on my 2nd try

My 2nd V10

Soft

My first V10 while I was still 9 years old...

My first V8 at 8 years old
