Ascents in Colorado having Beta

The epic is finally over! 13 days of battling with conditions and falling off of every move (including the final v2 move), implanted doubt in my mind if this thing was going to go down this year. Dave put up the stand 2 years ago and it has settled at hard 8B+. The sit adds in a powerful and awkward 4 move 8A+ into the 8B+ with no rest. The style of this boulder is different than anything I have climbed on. The holds require good friction and the movement is off balance and weird. It is such a b

17 days of work over 2 years, At first none of the moves were possible until now. A true breakthrough in my climbing and the longest I have ever worked a boulder problem. So many different style of moves both technical and physical out a 60 degree overhanging prow. 8 moves in total... topped out in the snow and ice had to dig deep to send. Game Over... After returning back and using the new method, The Game felt to be more like a soft v15 than 16. A couple of the holds have seemed to of grown i

Amazing 65 degree roof! #FA #soft

2nd ascent, fall has arrived! This line is the power 8C. Definitely a completely new line than wheel of Wolvo. Everything about it is different including moves, style, and mental approach. For me hard 8B+ intro into hard 8A+. Nice one on Webbys part for establishing the stand and the full line!

2nd ascent. 4 days of effort. This thing is stiff for me... Had to climb tall to get er done. Low start to over cling traverse, completing the full line of the roof. 30 moves in total. Sequential and powerful, one of my favs in CO. Nice one on Jimmy Webb's part in putting this beast up.

Amazing climb! Steep, powerful, and hard. Thanks to Max Krimmer for showing me this. It was awesome to session on it with friends and experience a new zone (for me) in CO. Check out my instagram (Daniel Woods) and Facebook athlete page for more details. #FA #soft

Found some new foot beta that makes the crux a lot easier. Climbs really well. Now for the link!

highball and hard, one of my best ascents,,

Wow, crazy experience. Started trying last year, took me 2 or three days just to be able do all the moves. This year started started out a lil quicker, by my 2nd day this year (or it could have been third I can't even remember) I was made it up to the jug rest and fell dry firing of the slopey rail. Then the battle started. I went up there maybe 6 times after the first day of getting very close. Basically I would get to the jug like 3 times a session and 75% of the time fall because my skin was to dry/cold or my foot would pop off the smears. rarely did I feel like I was falling because I was too tired, always my third try of the day I would pump out but the first tries always felt really good,, in the end I probably made it to the jug more than 20 times... i stopped counting it got that bad. I was getting really frustrated and honestly just wanted to quit trying it for this year, but chad wouldn't let me ! credit goes to him ! ) really amped and feeling extra super fit ! Really amazing boulder with great movement, so satisfying

my proudest ascent, beautiful boulder with a great line. Wasn’t really sure if it would actually go down but so psyched !! The day before I felt super shitty... didn’t really have any expectation but to just stay in tune with it... then I found some fresh beta and took it down.

maybe 8c+/9a route ? idk people suggested I give this a grade route, but not experienced enough with routes to grade it.... super fun line.. all types of moves... very pumpy.. thank to the crew for the support and spots !!

FA

Dream route. No real opinion on grade, so going with Matty's suggestion for now. Definitely not easy.

Athletic

Very cool to revisit this crag after 12 years! TC is forever a massive inspiration for me - I didn't realize how important it would feel to climb on this route. Went fully A Muerte after getting through the bottom crux for the first time. On the grade, for me personally, the route does not compare to the 9b I have done or tried - that being said it is still one of the absolute hardest in Colorado for sure.

With Kneepad

Nice little trainer.

Soft

Took a few tries to sort out the upper part. Great climbing.

2nd try today with good conditions. Years and years in the making. Probably the most effort I've given to a single boulder. Considered giving it the extra +, especially for me. Really never thought I would actually finish this thing, but pulled some truly screwed up beta out of my ass and sent...I'm Back! Everything is back in balance.

Hard

This one is for me... Have tried it one day every year for 4 years now. Went very quick this year. Feeling extremely light...like a small baby has finally been pried off my back. If this feeling continues, it could be a very productive year. I'm definitely dealing with a breakthrough here.

3rd Solid Day of Effort. My hardest. Very meaningful to me for a variety of reasons. Best and hardest in lower. 8B/+.

Hard

Couple tries. Really fun climbing. The toe hook moves are super unique.

Soft

Started trying last year. two of the moves took me like ten sessions to be able to do... super outta my style... one huge move and another really dynamic pop. Coming of an injury I was kinda using this boulder as a way to learn how to do big moved. last year after a lot of effort I eventually made my way to the last move... and then we flew to Swiss the next day.. this year is got back to my high point quickly and fell there a bunch. Then yesterday I found slightly better beta for this move and did it pretty quick after that. Really satisfying to do moves easily that last year seemed crazy... next is the top section and try and link em

amazing ! best boulder in chaos !!! 3rd ascent. chad vision.

Hard

Really amazing Boulder, one of the best, tried it for the first time yesterday, figured out my beta pretty quick and did it pretty soon after that. Part of me wants to call this v12 and the other part of me knows I'm real good on crimps and heal hooks.. So idk.. either way, great Boulder, fun crew up there, always glad to see the ladies out !

Soft

Finally joined the club! Amazing route. Thanks to Joe Kinder for the vision and props to Matty Hong on the FA. Seems to be in the same range of difficulty as Krypto. At least for me. But i think I may have skipped some knee bars. Less hard moves, but pumpier climbing at the top. Keep the routes coming!

Soft

I've dreamed of climbing this route for almost a decade. Long, exposed, and super proud line. Definitely the best and hardest climbing I've done on a rope. Huge thanks to Mary for the belays over the last few weeks and also Matty for bringing the psych today! So much left to do on this cliff.

Cruxy

Holy epic. The longest I've spent on a boulder problem. Nearly did it on my first day in RMNP 5 years ago. The same day it was established. Probably fallen 100 times on the move to the pinch from the bottom. Heinous foot cut issue. Solved the problem by skipping the pinch and dynoing to the lip...

2nd day. 2nd Try. Short, stubby and probably 8A. If climbing doesn't get better than this I think I'm going to quit. To andre with love.

Soft

One of the worst climbs in Chaos.

Really fun climbing on this one. Contrived but so is everything on the wall.

Climbing Has Clicked!

3rd try today. Opening the alpine season. Might be the best and most pure boulder i've climbed yet. Pics at climbingbum.blogspot.com.

Hard

Project out the Stanley Kubrick roof. Start on the right hand undercling and left hand three-finger notch. Climb STRAIGHT out. 20-30 ft. of immaculate roof climbing. More info on climbingbum. Video soon.

FA

Low in the grade. Kinda pumpy, not that hard of moves. 4 or 5 goes. 30 min. Excellent Problem. The Norcal threepeat.

Soft

fun fun. team on da back.

Really psyched, its a classic ! Undercling POWER, the Boulder sits under the glass tower and up canyon a lil

FA

Epiced !! Psyched

First try today, four days total. amped ) Gomez boulder!!!!

really psyched, this one is amazing, on the newer boulder we've been going to up above survival of the fittest. started sitting on the left side of the face with my right hand on a crimp and my left crossed over it on a side pull right above the other start hold. moved up thru the crimpers and did a big move to rail feature, then it has a couple more tricky moves kinda high up and the a bunch of glory move to the top. really psyched, .. do any other girls put boulders up?

FA

Fun! Hard for me, glad to do it
