Chris Schulte, What's Left of the Bottom of My Heart (8B?), Poudre Canyon, Colorado

Mon, 24 Aug 2009 16:12:05 -0700

Poudre Canyon holds one of the best boulder garden scenes around Colorado, with a short, flat approach and a good concentration of problems on dense, quality granite. It’s a good place to visit on the edges of the winter season; summertime is too hot and buggy, winter can be ridiculously inhospitable. Herman Feissner and Blake Rutherford steered me towards this project, sitting right next to the Sharma Lunge on the same block. I put in a couple of days last fall, and after a couple more in the spring, I connected five delicate but rowdy moves into the finishing mantle. It’s not so much a small problem as a distilled one, with every move deciding the chances of the next. Named for the heart shape of the boulder, it’s a true bloc, and a good little problem worth solving.

Kevin Jorgeson, Matt Segal and Alex Honnold send big on British grit

Mon, 24 Aug 2009 16:08:15 -0700

In late October/early November 2008 a trio of Black Diamond athletes, Kevin Jorgeson, Matt Segal and Alex Honnold, traveled to sample the famed British gritstone where runouts, groundfalls and surgical technique are all part of the game. Between rain showers and squalls, the trio managed a host of quick repeats of some of the country's hardest rated testpieces, sparking amazement and grading debates throughout the UK.

All said, the trio had one of the most impressive visits the gritstone has ever seen and watched more movies while waiting out the weather than any of them thought was humanly possible.

Renan Ozturk and Zack Smith in Alaska's Ruth Gorge

Mon, 24 Aug 2009 15:47:10 -0700

Black Diamond athlete Renan Ozturk teamed up with Zack Smith and traveled to Alaska in late June 2009 to attempt a variety of climbing objectives, keeping their options open to the whims of weather, conditions and their stoke. Below is an excellent video the duo filmed during their ascents (a rarity in the world of alpine climbing where lightweight and speed typically take priority over documenting the adventure with video and photos).
