The incredible "nickis" project. Took me a considerable amount of effort in between a couple voyages, and had to stick to it in some gnarly conditions. Amazing climbing with drop knees, smears, and small crimps. Looks kinda like Stained Glass, but its much bigger! SYKED!!!

Sick adventure climb. hopefully the weather will stay OK

oh yeah

amazing route!!! Got the sequence spot on.

oh wow, a dihedral thing!

an arete, with crazy grips... pretty SICK

well this was great, crazy rock

omg I LOVED IT

HOORAY!!!!!

so fresh.

Amazing face climb. Had oily about an hour to go before my bus ride to Guiyang, so I had to HUSTLE!

lowered down from the other 8b at 2:42pm, launched on this one at 2:47pm, got down by 2:57pm, then ran to the BUS! Amazing last day!

Amazing route!

Punted off the finishing move for good measure, then took er down. Climbed it with bai Jou in my system after a cultural experience! WHOOADER.

Amazing resistance route on crazy slopers and scoops. Would have been nice to climb the direct start, Coup de Bambu, which I tried quite a bit, but had to to settle for this. maybe next trip. HAPPY TIME!

fun!

A majestic prow, jutting out of the forest on a northeast facing slope. A very technical compression climb, and extra conditony. Took me eleven days over two seasons, and it was a huge relief to final climb it. Difficult to grade, but one of the more challenging problems I have tried in a very long time, so we will see.

Pretty sick wall. We didn't have that many pads. It was scary. Good sesh with Phil.

well. I finally figured it out. Muy DUHHH.

amazing rock, super cool moves, hope I didn't use some retarded beta.

well it was not easy, but Phil and I took it DOWN.

Great climb up a black wall, with a bad pocket. quick little sesh with the homies.

Really cool compression problem Isaac Caldiero showed me. Super fun. With the jet lag.

Climbed it alone. Majestic last-day-in-Australia moment. Extra spicy with no spot. SICK rock.

amazing day, amazing light, great way to end a trip.

Very tricky for me. Ultra classic. Had to keep my foot on for the big move. Took me 3 days.

2nd ascent, about ten seconds after Nalle sent for the FA! Amazing freak-problem, with two completely different methods possible. The problem climbs an orange and blue streaked prow, positioned on a precipice over-looking incredible scenery.

2nd ascent. Potentially one of the best problems on earth? as well might be the best problem I have ever stumbled upon on a hike? One of my all time favorites. Big moves, through perfect grips, on a tall block. Seemingly shaped by a diety.

Wow. Cool climb. It was heinous in the start, and once I found the master beta, with help of Saxon, it all clicked.

Really cool wall climb, awkward start however. Thought it would take longer, but it just kinda happened quick!

quite a scary finish. but it was OK for the KROO.

Wow. SO sick. With the top out. First hold is sharp.

An amazing bloc sitting on a cool ledge, below the Taipan wall. A heinous foot swing, followed by a tricky knee bar, leads to a sick top out in no fall terrain. CLASSIC.

I thought this was kinda heinous. Wack heel hook. Ethan's beta is better.

hard. I was sick.

so fresh

well it was sick. especially the rock.

sick lurp moves.

Sick highball climb, dubbed the aid project, crazy dyno moves finishes the game, after compression climbing on cracks! KAY BUENO!

Well it was dry. So we did it. In the rain. I was sick. HAPPY TIMES!

sick problem!

Sick tension move a heel. Very nice Jamie!

weird problem. very nice move off a sloper, and slightly reminiscent of big golden AND atresie!

very fun problem, with a pinch and a heel hook.

WOW. sick new zone, sick new problem. Pure compression. I am not sure if it is 8b+ for everyone...if you are shorter, it may be impossible, yet if you are taller, it could become more 8b or 8a+ even? At 2 meters? That said, its certainly a morphological problem, but is certainly more difficult then the Big Worm in Mt. Evans, for my height. The crux move is at my full extension, and is followed by a terrible toe-hook match, which is extra cabron. SYKED.

hmmm, couldve tried harder my first attempt...fun little thing!

pity those holds got chipped in the cave, wouldve been some sick 9a's in there!

tried once a long time ago, and managed the retro flash in a confused effort. Muy placa!!!

A very sick little route!! Starts on Off the Books, then climbs out Freak with the huge move at the end. Did the bottom boulder pretty quickly, then warmed up more trying Freak, then did the link first try. Jon's vision, inspired by the spanish master ANDRADA!!!! Feels great to be on a rope again!

Fun boulder problem. Start to Ali Nomad!

well. it was pretty sick. blew the flash with a foot slip..nice little egg.

fun little slope mantel thing.

very cool rail features. 2nd ascent.

very fun compression climb. venga.

oooooooo

well...it was fer real...

hmmmm. this problem is sick.

wow, very very cool. Nice vision by seth. did it in the session somehow. KAY BIUENO!!!

ooo, very nice!

well...it took me a while...but i DID it....

Amazing compression problem with a subtle low percentage crux move. Didn't think I could pull it off due to bruised tips and a some heat issues, but managed to actually do it! 4 days, 8 moves, 2nd ascent...classy problem and props to DW's for opening this trail side masterpiece!

Hmmm, couple of tries... I think no matter where you start, it can;t be harder then 8a...

Well, not very hard once you figure it out...should've given a better flash burn...good climbing on nice holds, but def a low ball.

Very cool roof climbing, almost hueco-esque (except a little bit chossier) with a spicy top out, which I found really awkward. Good sesh with D woods. The great discovery of the day was the deciphering and cleaning of the sick proj, which climbs from an amazing sit start on the right side of the roof through crazy 360 moves and finishing in Bambi. WOW!!!

wow. what a great sandstone boulder problem. Great session, and lucky to have pulled it together in time...BACK IN THE GAME!!!!

BAller compression problem, super fun moves, and a great challenge in the less then perfect conditions! Sick gangster toe hooks and dynamic slaps all over the place. felt HEINOUS. umm, look forward to some Island videos of these boulders and some of the past ascents from this season coming out SOON!

Well, this one sure is a cool problem. A huge span move followed by a technical foot interchange, and a wicked release move First eyed by Jimmy Webb, this green wall climb was one of the first projects which took peoples interest this season, however it remained untried until last week. Definitely a morphological problem, but I suggest 8b+ for my size. VERY SYKED I managed it this day, as it was my last day for the season (the road closes at the end of september, and I am going to the baller NOR' EASTER event manana!!!!)

amazing problem which starts on we can build you and follows a rail of crimps till kingdom come and the god damn cows come home. Pretty decent, will most likely be a classic...

one of the original projects from the start of the season. super satisfied to climb this one, as it was such an obvious addition to the problems in Wolverineland. A very difficult roof section leads to serious lip encounter, and a strange traverse on slopers and odd grips brings you to the summit. very cool rock climb, I DIG IT!! seems quite hard!

SICK highall crack line. FUN!!!!

An amazing line on amazing rock! The legendary "ski jump" project on the ridge! I love this problem, and feel lucky to have sent it third day in, rather then 10th! A very finicky boulder problem filled with subtle toe-hooks, crazy semi-dynamic movements, and very tense static moves. Eleven moves total, and an engaged top-out, and by far one of the most aesthetic lines in Mt. Evans Wilderness... Perfect conditions sure did help, but it felt very hard on the link regardless. Time to move on to the next project, yet again. VAMMMMMMMOSSSSSSSSSSS! and for the grade, feels harder then any 8b i have ever done, but i must be a punt...

Very cool problem! the ending of an amazing problem. The sit start, which is undone, will be one of the best at the area, and is the line for sure...Not sure if the stand start is 8a or 8a+, but it will be heinous coming from below.

FUCK YEAH! This problem is all crunk, climbs all crazy, toe hooks, wierd feet, good times! its super cool looking and slipped of it once and ate shit super bad, and now I am all bruised...WHAT EV! whos knows about the grade, but I doubt its 8b...

the amazing roof project. very powerful, yet still very technical. The first move is big trouble, it took four days of work just to do it once, and then it never really got any easier! Definately the hardest up in the area, and the first boulder I have done if this level in some time now. Seems certainly 8c, but we will see right...5 days of work, 2nd ascent. SYKED FOR THE NEW SHIT!!!!

Sick little crimp problem, which may break soon...sadly. should've seen that toe hook for the FLASH.

IT COULD BE 8C!

Well, this is one of the most impressive lines from the project line up at the start of the year, and its DOPE it went down. It was very sick to unleash Daniel on it as well, as he made an amazing take down of the FA, but I was lucky to be one day behind him and have the good temps, cuz they sure did help my ass! Pretty syked, hurt myself in a pretty bad digger the last day on the problem, then came back for the kill. 2nd ascent, 4 days.

Well! Super surprised it all work out! tried the boulder here and there, but after a one month hiatus, GAME ON! This boulder has been exfoliating quite a lot in the past month since Daniel climbed it, and some significant thumb catches broke, making things a little bit more tricky! An amazing technical arete kinda thing, all compression-like but not? I'm not sure, but right before i did it i said "i will never climb this boulder." It felt impossible most of the time, but its NOT. its classic. 2nd ascent. NUFF SAID.

YES!!! SO SYKED!!! took me ages! i used a combo of methods, very condition oriented, but I must say, all in all, this is probably the hardest 8b I have ever done. I would never downgrade it from 8b+, if it were graded that, but I'll roll with the idea that its particularly hard for me, and its actually 8b? Very happy this battle is over, but this its such a great problem and a wonderful trainer, I will miss trying it. I'm Syked to be feeling in better shape now after a couple months of bouldering, especially as good temps are arriving for the baller projects...VENGA!!!!!!!

amazing compression bloc with a hard heel hook move and an amazing scary finish. suited me....

CLASSIC compression bouldering at its finest, with a very tricky crux. Almost all slopers, it differs from Wolverineland's harder circuit...subtle, technical, yet still powerful, a true boulder problem! 3 days of concentrated effort, and for the grade, we shall see, but it seems harder then others...time will tell.

yeah. i guess its v11 for most people. go figure. i thought it was like v6 TOPS!

sick bloc. gangster double clutch move in the bottom into a long move to an undercut with shit feet (which broke alot)....fell off the end a couple sessions amidst rain and death storms, then found the window in the weather and it worked! 2nd ascent.

painful warm up. cool wall!

Amazing boulder problem, very classic, and an interesting style. Not sure on the grade, but its definitely a hard climb, and it has a heinous scary finish. SYKED!

climbed it in three small sessions, SYKED... a very cool roof climb, almost swiss style, and very resistant, with tensiony moves on edges...feeling like i'm kinda back in the game again for granite bouldering, and looking forward to the next months at wolverineland!

amazing problem! great session!

sick problem, great sesh with the homies. technical compression! a classic is born...thx to chad for the name.

Well....I did it. just need to acclimate to bouldering potentially?

luke's masterpiece...

hmmmm, need to do the low start...ayyyyeeeee

in a nice little session first day back in the park...seemed a bit tougher then 8a, but i have been out of the loop....so...i dunno...but i am SO syked to be bouldering again. WOW!

Crazy little route with a crazy placa on wierd rock after a strange roof on pockets.

Sick compression problem on a big bloc on an Island in downtown stockholm! syked to boulder again!!!

amazing compression climb.

So syked! FINALLY didn't punt on this random project. WOW. , But, i wish it wasn't raining, and I wish Papichulo was dry...my oh my....

Kay Bueno. De Victor!!!!

was recommended by home boy andrada, he said 8a, great for warm up. i was soon saying, joder!!! great route by victor, and felt pretty desperate actually! sick line of techy crimpers.

Blokar ou MOURIR. great conditions. A real treat.

bonita, pequena, buena!
