Yeah it’s not what you thought… but it’s nearly as good for all you route setters out there. I’m sure you will appreciate it.
Let me paint the picture so that it makes sense:
I was at the Heart of Steel setting for the competition in Boston and we had to strip a large section of the [...]

The weather in Colorado has been out of this world GOOD and I have been out taking advantage.  I went to Estes Park, the town just below Rocky Mountain National Park, on Saturday in search of Lumpy Ridge classics and new rocks to climb on.  Jonny Hork and I set out on a mission to [...]

Jaeger put together a quick video of out trip to Clear Creek last weekend.  The video includes my send of the Zion Dyno (V8) and Justin on Nomad Roof (V7).  Classic Sock Hands edit…
I got out during the week and spent some time in Boulder Canyon cleaning the snow off my projects and taking care [...]

Despite the occasional snow pile that just wont melt, I have been climbing a lot on the Front Range over the past week.  Eldorado Canyon and Clear Creek have been the go to spots for dry rock.  I put together a fun little video that I shot a couple weeks back with Ryan Silven and [...]

12 days of effort over 5 months has finally paid off!  I snagged the finish jug on Dark Waters (V12/13) in the bitter 20 degree cold and snow on Saturday morning.  What a relief, it’s finally over!  I have never worked harder for a boulder in my life and regardless of the grade it is [...]

I tricked Ben Spannuth into a quick session in the Flatirons on Sunday in hope of getting on Flesh Fest (V10) for the first time.  I have made 3 trips up to this boulder to try and tick it off “the list” and every time it has been covered in ice, water, or snow.  This [...]

Last weekend Ben Spannuth, Ryan Young and I headed out out to Eldorado Canyon on a mission.  We endured one of the hardest hikes in the Front Range to get up to Lost (V11), Suspension of Disbelief (V14/12), and Midnight Frightening (V10).  Ryan Young came along for support and to take some photos and I [...]

Here is the second installment of video from Farley in Western Massachusetts.  Speed of Life is a must do for any true bouldering connoisseur and it was my climbing duty to go to New England and tick off one of the life-timers.  I spent an hour cleaning ice and snow off the topout in 20 [...]

I had three goals when I went to Boston last week to set for the Heart of Steel.
1. Set incredible boulders the likes of which the world has never seen
2. Climb Speed of Life (V10) at Farley in Massachusetts
3. Climb Roses ad Blue Jays (V13) at Great Barrington
Two of the three goals were achieved with [...]

Hello!
After a long and extremely scary drive to Salt Lake City from Boulder we made it in one piece, but not without some thrilling sports action on the road.  We hit some snow in western Utah and with Garrett, our trusty late night driver, behind the wheel we barreled down the road with reckless abandon.  [...]

Here at Louder Than 11 we like video.  A LOT.  And there just so happens to be a lot of climbers out there shooting video these days.  Everyone had an HD camera and they are publishing free videos to the web at an alarming rate.  I have compiled a list of some high profile Vimeo [...]

If you haven’t heard, there is a HUGE competition going down in Boston on January 30th. Its called Heart Of Steel and its kind of a big deal.  If you want to make some cash and you want to make it rain in the gym then make sure you are here becasue this event [...]

Well hello!  As you can probably tell, I have been extremely busy with life outside of climbing lately.  Blogging has been cast to the background and put on hold while real life has taken over. I was able to talk with Dustin Chambers, the man behind the legendary Boone climbing video Satisfaction, and convince him [...]

Video from the Triple Crown!  Hound Ears.  Standard.

This past weekend was a blur.  The huge snowstorm in Boulder had us packing for warmer and dryer climates and Joe’s Valley was calling our names.

Dave Tucker, Nate Draughn, Brian Clevenger, and I all piled into my rig and we headed out with plans to meet up with Carlo Traversi, Alex Puccio, and Lucas Ménégatti…  [...]

There is 18″ of fresh powder in Louisville today and you know what that means….
Off to Joe’s Valley for the weekend.  We have a fairly huge crew consisting of Dave Tucker, Brian Clevenger, Nate D., Carlo, Puccio, Lucas, and myself.  It will be great…
I’m starting to realize that training will have to start soon and [...]

I’m sure that no one has been waiting for this but here are a few more from Boulder Canyon.  While you wait for that one to load I have some other interesting tid-bits for you to digest…

I did an interview with Stikkit Magazine and it is on the site here if you care to read [...]

So this is kind of a big deal. Colorado Glow is here.  Its live on Deadpoint Magazine, it is raging on Revolution Climbing’s website, making headlines on Friksn Clothing’s site, Killing it on the Project Holds website, and naturally it is running at full force on LouderThan11.com, Jon Glassberg.LouderThan11.com, and NateDraughn.LouderThan11.com…
Please give us feedback on [...]

A great new mix tape from Mary Anne Hobbs is out!  An electronic master [...]

Whats the best full value boulder problem in Front Range you ask?  Well I might have to say Black Ice (V10) at Fern Canyon in the heart of the Flatirons.  Perfect start holds to steep climbing with a very intimidating and high slab topout…  what more could you ask for.  My favorite so far.  I [...]

The alpine season is coming to an end in the next few weeks so a trip to Upper Chaos was necessary to finish off some business before the snow set in.  Nate, Jonny, and I headed to upper on Saturday with Mirkwood on the mind.  Mirkwood (V10), put up by Jamie a week or so [...]

The past seven days have been nothing short of crazy.

That’s JJ, she is famous.  She has been on a blog and her name has been in a magazine…
Last weekend the Spot hosted the first comp of the season, “The Gun Show”.  Preparation for the comp was a lot of work and we logged in over [...]

Louder Than 11 presents a Colorado bouldering epic with help from Dead Point Magazine, Friksn Clothing, Project Holds, and Revolution Climbing.  Jon Glassberg and Nate Draughn are climbing in the high country when they stumble upon a mysterious meteorite crash site.  They approach the impact zone to collect the debris and discover that the alien [...]

It has happened.  Fall is here.  Its time to take advantage.  Jonathan Siegrist says it best on his blog:
“Fellow rock climbers living in the northern hemisphere… soon.. soon it is our time to shine. Our beloved fall season is just around the corner, do you know where your power is?!?! I know school just started, [...]

Boone, North Carolina is home to some of the Southeast’s finest bouldering and I was lucky enough to spend 7 years climbing there.  I compiled a list of the hardest boulders in Boone a few years back.  With inspiration from Jamie Emerson and his “Hard Boulders in Colorado” list I have decided to post the [...]

I am plastered all over The Spot in the new advertisement for the 2009-2010 Comp circuit.  You can see me there in the middle near the giant black death wings, this design screams Jim Horton…

The first comp is coming up! September 26th!  Its gonna be really great and I will be setting along with a [...]

Johnny Hork comes out of nowhere with a European Human Being (V12) slaughtering last week.  Johnny had worked the boulder a bit last season and with high hopes came back for round two and sent on his second attempt.  Barely even had time to break out the camera for this one.  Made it look easy…  [...]

A week in the 303 to take care of some business and that is just what happened.
When you climb on alpine boulders all summer it is easy to get stuck in a routine and project everything and send nothing.  That is precisely what happened to me over the past few weeks.  With some free time [...]

Punching Nate in the face makes me really happy.  So happy in fact that it inspired the newest installment to the already platinum collection, Nate Draughn Presents.
Nate Draughn Presents: How to Take a Punch is truly the answer to all your prayers.  I encourage you to watch it…  No fake.
I will have a more substantial [...]

Summer is officially over.  Students are back, its getting colder, “real life” is inevitably creeping up and taking over…
This summer has been one of my favorites and of the past 25 I have experienced this has to be up there in the top 3.  I dug up some old footage of THE Brion Voges layin’ [...]

On August 29th Michael Tucker will be climbing Mt. Rainier in

fighting for the lives of the 20,000 boys who are born every year with
Duchenne Muscular [...]

Hello Everyone,
The fall temps are right around the corner!  Its getting colder and the rock is getting sticky.  I headed up to The Park with Nate and Kirsten on Sunday with Riddles in the Park (v12) as the main goal.  After a bit of warming up and some time spent “remembering” the beta from last [...]

Well we did it.
3 days of shooting
10 world class problems
4 locations
4 athletes
1 glowing story to tell
Jordan Shipman and Donovan Craig made the pilgrimage to Boulder for an insane 3 day video shoot for the next Louder Than 11 production that will be coming out in October.  The boys got worked over coming from sea level [...]

The past weekend at the park was a prosperous and satisfying experience.  I was able to finish off two of my projects that I had left from last year.  I was unable to get on either one of them until this weekend because of Trade Show insanity and massive piles of snow covering them.
I had [...]

Hello Boulderers,
Last week Nate and I made the pilgrimage to the Hallett Boulder, located above Emerald lake in Rocky Mountain National Park.  This bloc is the one you see perched on the edge of a giant slope just below Hallett’s Peak, its massive, you can’t miss it.  Olson gave us a detailed map and a [...]

Hello.
The stress is building up and the needs are not being filled.

There are piles of hard rock climbs in Colorado.
It just so happens that the majority of that pile can be found in Chaos Canyon at Rocky Mountain National Park.  I love The Park and I always will…
Climbing alone used to be a common thing for me in Boone. Hiking in three pads and working projects [...]

I have been busy bouldering at Mt. Evans and Rocky Mountain the past few days and it has been very rewarding. Projects are falling quickly this year that shut me down last year. I have also been making progress on boulders I had previously been getting my ass kicked on.

I love full household updates on [...]

Brion Voges did No More Greener Grasses (V12) at Mt. Evans in about 10 minutes…
Quite impressive. It has always been a goal of mine to do this problem. No More Greener Grasses is very pleasing to look at but a bit on the sharp side so hopefully i can get excited and stand on top [...]

The Mammut Gravity Brawl in New Jersey and the Bouldering World Cup in Vail have come and gone and the flood gates have opened for videos from every problem and every angle. I just so happened to shoot some busch league, voyeuristic style footage of a few of the problems at each events finals so [...]

I have been in Boulder all of 5 days now and it has been a very productive 120 hours.
The first order of business was to finish off some old beef with a problem in Boulder Canyon called Hard Boiled (V11). We went out on Tuesday and it ended up raining on us as we got [...]

The past week has been absolutely wild. Florida, North Carolina, Virginia, New Jersey, New York City, Colorado…
I Made a very long drive from Florida to New Jersey with a couple quick stops in between and ended up at the Gravity Brawl on Friday. The competition was very strong with a list of V12 climbers [...]

I have been living out of a car for the past week and I still have over a week ahead of me before I am off to Colorado to settle in. The following week includes Florida, North Carolina, Virginia, and New Jersey…

Well… Back by popular demand is Kansas, a mysterious and devious woman, caught on Blackberry video breaking into my house and taking some Crank Forearm Fuel to the face.
In keeping with the spirit of complete and total anarchy in Boone, last night I gave myself half a black eye when a misjudged moon bounce back [...]

As graduation insanity builds and friends and enemies clash in drama-town, I can’t help but get sentimental about all the good times and all the crazy times that have been a part of my life here in Boone. 7 years is a long time for a dedicated boulderer to be stuck in one small mountain [...]

It is raining. Everywhere. A lot.

I have been editing a lot of footage and training in the gym but moral is low after a week of straight rain and another week of it on the horizon.
Here is a video of a couple classics at Blowing Rock. I have been getting a lot of [...]

This blog post will disappoint you if you are looking for rock climbers sending hard shit (Its a jungle out there) but I did get my hands on a $4000 lighting kit courtesy of Josh Lowel’s Dad….

I turned 25 today and it has been a good day. [...]

Here is a candid video i was lucky enough to catch of Nate talking about how humble he is…
Signed a lease in Boulder! I hope your finger gets better soon Brion. 8B+ is not going to climb itself…

If its a personal project or a brand new line doing first ascents or finally completing that boulder that has been on your mind for years is quite satisfying.
I am leaving Boone in three weeks so the pressure has been on to take care of a bit of unfinished business and leave my mark.

Part of [...]

I love rock climbing.
I hate being pulled over by Parkway Police.
I love airplane turbulence.
There were a lot of people in town this weekend including Dave Tucker, Abby Pulsifer, John Gipson, and Dan Bates. It was great to take people out and show them some fun problems as well as getting to see a new problem [...]

Nate and I got back from Chattanooga late last night. I learned 3 important things on this trip:
1) all-you-can-eat sushi is not really that good (Go figure)…
2) Dogs still don’t like cats
3) Getting high on a boulder problem is what rock climbing is all about
We rolled in on Friday and stayed with Ben Johnson [...]

Also, if you are in the [...]

I just got back from a long weekend in Charlottesville and Lynchburg Virginia. I was setting for a new gym called Rise Up that is owned by Dan Hague in Lynchburg. It was great to set with the new Climbit features and i think i was able to put up some really inspiring lines…

Brion Voges was in town last week and he made dreams come true in the High Country…

I went out with Brion Voges and Nate yesterday and got on a couple of my favorite problems that I had put up in the past few years.

The Great Roof and The Masochist…
We warmed up at Grandmother and went to the Great Roof to get on The Masochist (V10). The Great Roof is a monster [...]

Well here it is. A quick video about the Buttermilks from our trip to Bishop. A bunch of problems you have seen before but different people climbing on them… (kind of exactly like Mirando and Jimmy’s video)
Nate and i were lost in the Bishop high country and shot some funny introduction stuff… at least [...]

I just got back from a trip to Southern Illinois and I’m nearly dead.
The weekend flew by and many boulders were sent. We picked up Brion Voges on Friday afternoon in Knoxville and made our escape to Carbondale, Il to meet up with Jimmy Webb, Kasia Pietras, Scott Gross, Ryan Carl, and Nate Drolet. [...]

I went up to Grandmother yesterday with Nate to get some video of a fun dyno near the Long Wall area and I came up with an interesting little short. I ended up doing the move 5 times to get different angles and i think it turned out descent. Nate also sent the boulder with [...]

I think all this traveling is catching up to me. I have had a constant headache since Monday and despite OD-ing on delicious sugar coated Advil the sun still makes me wince…
The next four weeks are packed with fun stuff (Southern Illinois, Bishop, setting) so I went home this weekend to take care of the [...]

Im at war with a sinus infection so I have been surfing the net, reading, relaxing, and waiting…

I’m headed to Raleigh, NC today to catch a flight to Manchester, NH to visit Gavin, Max, and Doug.

Just got home from a cold weekend in Chattanooga and a few warm nights snuggled up with a couple of fat ferrets at Kasia’s… Sunday I finished off Reflections (V10) at Little Rock City and Nate snatched up Cleopatra Cinderella Traverse (V9) on his first attempt of the day (natedraughn.blogspot.com).
I am beginning to get frustrated [...]

Nate and I are back in Chattanooga and spent the day at Rocktown trying to finish off some boulders. The day was freezing with highs in the upper 20’s… We went back to Golden Harvest (V10) after a rough warm-up and I sent after a few tries. I have tried this line a few days [...]

I have been procrastinating for too long so here it is.

I’m frantically trying to pack in some last minute training for ABS Nationals on Friday. I have been in the gym a lot lately and training hard and feeling good. The ABS running order looks intimidating as always and the goal is to make finals and not blow it in prelims. I leave today and [...]
