Hard campus moves. Right exit variation to Death In Tall Grass.

This one eluded me for a long time.

Got chipped along with the other climbs in the roof. Low end V10 now.

Even polished… truly one of the best.

TROLL KING!

Transcendent.

Climbs really well. Feels silly to kick onto the other rock to finish… but climbing IS silly. Very fun.

Awesome. Felt V12, but it doesn’t suit me at all so who knows, could be low end or maybe hard V11?

The “Stained Glass” of Fort Collins. Great climbing.

The intro got easier after Austin suggested v14. The rock down there just isn’t all that good. I can also get a really good rest at the kneebar. Feels more like 12.

The right hand star hold is a little sharp. Otherwise it’s kind of a banger. Very cool. For what it’s worth, I think this one is on the more intense side of V12.

Really hard to grade. I’m 5’ 10” with some extra arm inches and it was difficult to discern between what was “hard” and what was “weird”. I excel at “weird”. Could be 8B I guess?

Finally sent with the kneebar method after many years of trying off and on.

chipped.

left exit

Maybe harder?

Not very classic. But I thought it was fun.

Really nice one. Relatively simple climbing on crimps so it could feel easier or harder based purely on where your finger strength is at.

Reverse Overcling into We Can Build You. Proposed V15 by Drew. Repeated that season by Everett and myself. Many betas. Will probably take more ascents to understand the grade better.

Very Dabby. Deck project #1. Starts on the big flat block. V8-10? Low start from the crimp rail would add significant difficulty.

One of the best. Courtesy of Griffin Whiteside.

Legitimately one of the best of the grade I’ve ever climbed. Hartman Rocks... when it’s bad, it’s bad, but when it’s good!? It’s real good.

Quite interesting actually. Sit start on the left most side of the wall left of Son Of Sam.

Can’t tell if it’s hard or just hard to do.

Could very well be V11/12. Took 4 seasons to ultimately finish because the landing took so long to build. Regardless of grade, a stunning line.

Maybe 8A?

Felt hard for 7B+, but it is hard to grade the slick river stuff sometimes depending on skin condition.

Maybe 7C+, but its hard to grade a single move.

Best right to left sloper trav in the world?

Maybe 7C+

Hard first move, then easy. Probably low end for the grade?

This was chipped after it had already been done many times. It seems like this happens a lot around here... absolutely unacceptable. Also, might be 7C?

A little harder than Molunk. Adds a pretty cool move. 7C or 7C+, hard to say.

Maybe 7C+

If you're short I'm sure the beginning feels crazy hard. I'm 5' 10" so it doesn't really add much. Could be 7B+.

I'm flexible so the toehook start didn't feel bad. 7B for me. Unless you're not supposed to start with the toe hook, I which case I haven't actually sent this.

It was hot and this felt hard. Could definitely be 7C, but I didn't invest much time in the beta so maybe I was doing it weird.

V12+++ I’ve heard the original feet may have broken. Feels like V12- into V8.

Not the best rock obviously, but it climbs pretty well.

Aside from the choss start flake, this boulder is sick.

Basically two boulders with a rest in between. The first boulder is OFF THE FUCKING CHAIN. Second boulder... not so much. But worth it. Maybe closer to hard 8B than 8B+ ? I think this might be the longest boulder I’ve done. Harder than Bear Toss or Fantasia I think. I'll say 8B until it gets more ascents.

Same left hand start hold, but right hand goes lower and right to a good edge around the arete. Ends up adding 2 moves and makes for an even better climb. Harder, but probably just solid V11 instead of V10/11. This is probably just where Paper Tiger should start.

My favorite in BoCan. Flashed to the end but bailed like a gigantic baby. Did the top twice to make sure, and then did it. I used the kneebar for the muddle crux.

Better beta these days. I started with a toehook while holding the original start holds.

The climbing here is so good!

Very cool move!

...aaaand now this is my best flash to date. Hard to grade flashes but this could be easier than 8B.

Poor conditions. Dope boulder. My best flash to date. Hard to grade flashes, but this could be easier than 8A+.

Super fun. I really liked the finicky toe cam deadpoint.

UNBELIEVABLY GOOD. Flashed to the jump, but ultimately needed a few more tries. I’m not good enough at jumping...

REALLY nice hueco-esque roof climbing on incuts to a powerful finish.

One of my best bouldering days ever.

First try after flashing Barbed Wire Beard.

Dope. Best flash to date.

Arm swing.

2nd try. DNF. Chossy but nice moves. 10 or 11? Who knows.

Finally! I fell off the jump more than 50 times from the bottom. Crazy. So happy it’s finally finished.

Sharp holds but cool moves. Not bad when you figure out how to do the big move. Anyone under 5’ 9” is going to have a heck of a time.

Cool pinch. Don’t start with your feet on the lip... A nice couple moves. It’s hard to grade flashes, but it didn’t feel V11... at all. Maybe even 7B+?

Very cool. Would be one of the best if it wasn’t so low to the ground.

Also very cool.

Very cool.

Maybe an FA. Just a left exit into the scoop instead of following the arete.

A nice new one from Griffin I believe? Double undercling start. I also did a left exit that is basically the same grade. Knee bar softens it as well. Did it both ways. Low start goes, but it's hard and crumbly

Hard in the heat.

Rock is super solid, but a bit sharp. Towards the end of the ridge. SDS low on RH edge and lower LH pinch. Climb obvious holds up and right, then jump to the right to a knob on the lip and mantle in the scoop.

FA with Tristan Chen. Psyched to come back this year and find a way through this sick feature. The next lowest start will be V15. All the moves have been done.

Very good.

F’ed it.

New beta might be 8A.

Don’t know what the name is. Right of Guillotine. Sit start, then climb some good/bad crimps then jump to the lip. A nice addition.

I did it without the usual toehook beta. This method adds 5 moves and was pretty low percentage. It took 4 sessions and a lot of tries to pull it off. I think it is probably still 8B+ with this method? It's probably harder than the "usual" beta, but I just kept splitting every second try on that damn crimp and I couldn't do it with tape so I had to figure something else out.

Such a cool feature! Sit start as for One Time For Your Mind, but continue along the undercling rail to finish for Juniper/Purple Heart.

A most excellent highball. One of the best at Hartmans. I'd recommend checking it out on a rope first. Start sitting on the sidepull rail and find your way up. Can also be stand started at the head high jug at the same grade.

Start on Purple Heart and climb the vertical rails left to Juniper, then go back right to finish Juniper. The path of most resistance. Maybe 7C+?

Start for Juniper, but go straight up from the good ledge. Very cool mantle. Maybe 7C? First move is the crux.

Incredible deadpoint move. Reminiscent of Celestial Mechanics, but harder. helpful to be taller. FA Caleb Justice

Hard campus crux. Maybe 8A?

Real nice. Maybe 7C++?

Start on Fat Lady

Amazing holds.

Toehook beta felt pretty relaxed. Not sure how to grade it.

Can’t believe I’ve driven past this for 12 years. Others have tried now and it may be 8A+? Still needs a repeat.

Old Ben Scott boulder that was re-FAed by Sam Rothstein after some holds broke. Very good boulder.

Shoulder method. 3rd Ascent after Groenwald. Sam Rothstein’s FA

10/11?

Might actually be 8A?

A choice pebble.

Outrageous grips

Powerful

Tall and fun on impeccable rock.

This was significant.

The slot is obviously chipped.

Right heel beta. Finicky, but when it locks in, it’s good.

One of the best boulder problems I’ve ever done? 🤯

Very straight forward climbing I think, which makes it go fast. Could also just be that it isn't 8B and it's actually more like 8A+?

Climbs into Simian Adventure from the left-est flat rail.

Maybe V11? Wacky Low arete start to Simian Adventure. Started upside-down with toehooks on the rail. One hand on an obvious spot low on the arete, one hand on the obvious edge.

Very sick boulder.

LONG. Very cool. Harder than Lex Luther. Easier than Fantasia.

Soft? V11 or V12? Haven’t climbed at Joes in a minute. Didn’t seem to add much to Lois Lane. First try after doing Superman and Lois Lane.

Maybe V10?

The Best. No knees, just toes.

Soft? Doesn't add much.

Long span beta.

Probably closer to 8A, but let me know. Start on Supernatural, but climb hard left through the crimps to do a big left hand bump off a small intermediate crimp. Seems about the same difficulty as Supernatural. Not very classic. Tore my left hamstring.

Felt similar to the top end V13s at Lincoln Lake. Might be borderline 8B+, but some of the rock is still exfoliating. Such is Colorado alpine bouldering...

Kinda sharp, but great intricate slab-ish climbing where nothing is where you want it to be. Will go from the low left sit at 8A probably.

Sit start on the left facing rail. Power move to the jug out right, then finish up Trapper Keeper.

Stand start to House Of Bricks. Start matched on the big rail. Might be 7C+?

Very cool feature and unique moves.

Hell. Yes.

Nice one.

A one-move-wonder. Felt borderline 8B for me, but it’s only one move and it’s a style that I am not great at...so let’s call it 8A+. Could be borderline 8A if it’s your style and you fit the box. A good flash challenge for a very powerful climber.

The day before my bilateral carpal tunnel surgery, I fell off this boulder. Today, I did not fall off this boulder. Not 8B in my opinion, but it's the best 8A+ at Lincoln.

Not amazing, but definitely worth doing. Really cool pinch.

Really nice slopey/tech climbing. I’ll actually need good conditions for Chrome.

The best boulder I’ve done so far. Absolutely incredible. So nice, I did it twice! Sent with a kneebar method (V12) and I also sent without any kneebars (really hard V12 or low end V13).

Scared the shit out of me.

Climb The Cure, but continue to the left arete, then finish the arete. Skips the chipped holds. I’m going to fill them in when I go back.

Start on The Plague, but go to the arete then trav. back left to finish The Plague

Do the first 2 moves of Brotherhood, then paddle awesome slopers with tricky footwork to an easy top-out. V11/12-ish. A grade or two harder than Brotherhood.

Kinda amazing.

Tossed.

Just another excuse to do shoulder moves.

5 years, 15-ish sessions...got it wired now hahaha

Sit-start to a problem that might be called "Sap"? Chad Greedy may have done the FA of the sit? Whatever it is, it's sweet.

Soft? V13? I don't know. I haven't been able to get out and climb much so I don't have a good reference point. Certainly harder than Fantasia (V13), but thats the only other thing I've done recently. I'm also way stronger than I've ever been...whatever that means. I'll take the points until I have a better reference or consensus downgrades. Anyway... BIRTHDAY SEND!

First 8B post bilateral carpal tunnel surgery.

Soft V10 or hard V9. About a grade harder than Resonated. No knee pad. Sharp. Good moves.

3rd try. Very good.

Just right of Shark Bait Shuffle. Start matched and climb straight up the face on amazing holds. Hard.

Surprisingly hard. Not sure of the original name.

Seemed like a good way to start the arete. I’m sure it’s been done before.

Do Ludacris (V8/9), then climb into the V8/9 thing that exits just to the right of "Ain't No Heaven..." You get a huge jug to shake out on in between the two boulders...

2 move wonder.

Better beta for the beginning probably makes this V10.

Crossed over to the big gaston, then to the arete with the left hand while toe-hooking the lip of the boulder, flipped right hand to the side-pull and carried on. Probably more V11 than V12 with this beta?

Start matched on the crimp rail at the back of the hole (aka: barrel) climb across crimps to the start of “North Shore” and finish on that. Get pitted...so pitted. Harder than the Kubrick Sit? https://youtu.be/hJdF8DJ70Dc

4th ascent, after Griffin’s 3rd? Very good one. V11/12?

Start on the right side of the seam rail. Insanely sharp holds, non-holds, crumbling start feet, amazing moves, classic Hartmans. Griffin with the 2nd ascent. A higher start can be done from the left side of the rail with the heel or toe already on out left, it is V11- ish from here probably.

One of the hardest at Hartmans. Mind the black and red tape! Hahaha!

Hard V11 or low end V12? I went directly from the right hand undercling to the good crimp with my left hand, then to the finish. It's a harder move, but it's less moves.

Starts on the 2 crimps, but I accidentally started on the further left hand side pull...made it a bit harder. Went back and did it again from the 2 crimps. Now to start on the undercling...then the low low.

Hopefully the crimps don't break.

Eww...gross. Now I never have to touch it again.

Hard right at the top. Looks a bit heinous for the shorties.

The easiest of the 3 lines in my opinion.

Amazing. The first jump took me a while to stick.

10 weeks after bilateral open carpal tunnel surgery

10 weeks after bilateral open carpal tunnel surgery

AGGRESIVE.

If it wasn't so dabby it would be incredible. Great movement on amazing holds.

Boom! Went quick today. OG wide beta.

Odd. Interesting climbing, but extra dabby at the bottom.

Maybe my new favorite at Lincoln. So damn good. Toehook method!

Awkward start, but very nice. Hard 7 or soft 8?

Best V8 at Lincoln?

3rd ascent of Jason Baker's masterpiece. Very very good. Maybe V10?

Upward Trav into Rico Suave

The low start will be really good too! * Griff sent the low!

Hard pinch move.

Perfect.

Felt hard until the wind blew in. Really cool line. I wasn't sure where to start so I started matched in the lowest undercling which made the first few moves a bit harder.

Really cool toe-hooks and such.

A variation on The Prow

Traverse into The Dihedral. Same grade.

A higher start to Hollow Sword.

New beta riding the lip might make this mega easy. Doing first ascents can be difficult. Sometimes you only see what you want to see.

Easy moves to one small crimp move.

Maybe the best granite V10 in the Gunnison Valley.

Crazy good. One of the best in the canyon.

Off the freaking chain! R. Quanstrom FA.

Sit start. Butt on jah earth.

Dabby and weird on good rock. Still adding to the bad boulder circuit.

Classic highball with a spooky finish. Caleb Justice FA.

Very slightly contrived at the end. Cool moves though.

Dope sequence. Coolest/scariest dropknee move ever. I remember us being pretty sure it was 8B when we were working on it last year. VEry weird and extreme. Could be V12?

Did the original start, which doesn't really add much to the difficulty, Maybe V9? This line has changed a lot.

Slightly different beta than Jason. I didn't use the small left hand crimp. Cool physical climbing on toehooks!

I still had to do what I thought was the crux before doing the early top-out. Thought V10 was fair. Only slightly easier than the full line?

2nd ascent? Will be better and probably a grade harder if you start matched from the undercling.

I used the same start holds as Paul, but started with a right heel. This makes the beginning easier for me than Paul's method, so it might just be 8A.

Better than it looks.

20-30min. Bear.

Hard to grade with the kneebar. Changed into shorts and sent. Could be not so hard. Maybe even v11. Who knows. Dope moves.

Topped out See Spot Run. So good!

Sharp pocket, tape your fingers!

Sit start on the obvious huge jug. Climb straight up and follow the arete up and left.

First try after King Fin.

Cool Moves!

Could be V10 or V11

Sit start and pull into a knee-bar to enter the stand start. Same grade as the stand.

The sit start to Fat Man Arete. Adds 2 hard moves into the V6/7 stand start. I would believe V10, V11, or V12 so I just picked the middle grade.

Long boulder with a full recovery hand-jam rest in the middle V6/7 into V6/7.

Would be better if there wasn't an easier early exit.

Cool slab compression. 2nd try.

Took 4-5 days and over 100 tries to send. Maybe it isn't hard and its just low-percentage? Maybe I had bad beta? Maybe I suck!? Maybe V11-13!? I don't know... Griff repeated fast and thought it was easier than V13, so I'll go with that.

Sit start on a RH lip sloper and LH edge under the roof. Use a tricky toe-scum bicycle to climb left into Galaxy Squid. I thought it was harder than Sun Bear.

Just went big to the lip.

Kneebar Odyssey

Used to be hard V10, but after the break it's solid V11.

Harder (and I think better) after it broke. Now it's solid V10. "Re-Flashed" it.

The left lie-back beta for Great War. That crimp wasn't that big 3 years ago. I'll be back to do it proper.

A very awesome, very reachy boulder. It's not over after the crimp release!

Felt like solid V12... I guess it could maybe be V11, but that seems wrong. SHARP, but great moves on a BEAUTIFUL arete.

I can't decide if I liked this one or not...

I liked this boulder way more than I thought I would.

Enjoyable. Cool moves up top.

The first time I stuck the first move I went to the top.

Good moves on cool holds to a shameful top out.

I accidentally did this from 2 moves in a year ago in about 10min. Once I found out, it took 6+ sessions to add those 2 V5 moves. F^*#ing frustrating. Spite send. HARD 8A+

DOPE.

This will be very nice when it cleans up more.

Maybe V9? Shouldery.

Would be outrageously good if it wasn't dabby. Maybe V9?

Really sick line From Roy Q.

Basically just another excuse to climb Beirstadt again.

Pretty dang cool if you can get over the dab block. Typical Lincoln.

Sharp, but very aesthetic.

Jump.

Finnicky heel hook.

Same start as Sun Bear, but go left to the arete and then traverse the lip back right. The Sun Bear crimps are on as you go back right to top out. Maybe V8?

Great rock. I crossed off the small crimp.

One hard move.

This problem is a sit start. If you started with a toehook and crawled back down to the start holds... you did not send this boulder problem. Simple as that.

Maybe V9, but I doubt it. Very cool line. Very bad landing.
