The big boys did this one static! I ended up holding the swing with one arm. Learning how to jump kinda...

Amazing granite boulder at Silver Mines, MO. Perfect jug sit-start and jug finish. Cool tensiony footwork crux. Maybe v9, maybe not, I did it in the summer so it's hard to say...

Fun one-move lock-off problem at 911 Aretes, uphill from Shadow of a Man and facing the trail. Sit-start on smiley crimp with high left foot and go to jug.

A perfect rock climb.

Tough top out, too lowball to be 2 stars

Never thought I would do this boulder in my lifetime, then randomly fired it off first try on a day with mushy conditions. No rules in climbing I guess... Classique.

Best of the grade I've done. Right after doing God Module. Good day.

V8 is correct

One of the best I've done at HCR

Maybe v9, my style aside from the mono. Glad I didn't hurt myself.

Way more fun than I expected. Really psyched on So iLL right now. Time to put up some problems.

I think v10 is fair. Been wanting to try this for a year or so, finally got around to it and did it in a couple hours. Surprise send at the end of the day. I've done everything I wanna do at the Beach now! Projects next...

Probably the hardest boulder I've ever done and maybe worth the ten points but I don't think so...top out next

Gym climb

Silly. Second go. Great Dane is one of the worst looking climbs I've ever seen

Sharp

Very high feet, with tha quickness.

My style

V8 blew tip on god module, god module next, prob next season

Tricky but fun

V7

Watched a vid where someone called this v9, much more like v7. Cool little crimper at the beginning. A legit sit-start is possible, would be gnarly

8 is fair. More psyched on jazz freestyles than bouldering really. Height dependent

Felt like v8 to me

AKA "The Gobbler"

Ouchie. Used Kehl's beta

Cool orange slab uphill from Worms Way on cliffline wall. Lock-off!! Aidan broke the nipple off

My first 5.12???

Ben sends 6C slab before Aidan. SICK!

I've climbed easier boulders that are still called 7s

First 8 flash probably not v8 but I like to think it is...

Swag mag lag chag dag

An hour or two, very cool compression on flat edges in roof. Not my style. First 10. Horseshoe Canyon is amazing. Decided I didn't want to try the mono moves on Glassbowl this trip which I think was probably smart

They need an app called iTrap

Arete opposite Tablecloth, scary mantle

OBD extension, easy 7

Amazing compression I have no technique

First 9, probably soft. In the boxerz cuz im a beast ho to say the least ho

7B??? This site is upping my ego like crazy. V4/5 in So iLL

Cool moment, cool friends, cool place. After this my arm skin got messed up and I couldn't bend them for hours, loved it a lot

My first 7 flash, pretty proud of this one

Glad I didn't punt off the top and die on the pretend Hueco problem at my back (Out of Africa wink wink)

One of my proudest moments

So iLL. Extremely iLL. Beyond iLL

First 5 outdoors. I've climbed this probably 30 times since. Feels exciting every single time

First 6 outdoors. Back before I grew my feet and relied only on my massive guns this one felt pretty challenging

First 4 outdoors. For sure extremely classic in E Rocks terms. Haven't gotten tired of ripping my skin open on it yet
