An old classic from Rocky Mountain National Park, Deep Puddle Dynamics (V9) in Lower Chaos Canyon.  One of the best V9s around, tall, sustained, perfect.  Enjoy!

As we speak, Louder Than 11 is gearing up for the second feature length video production.  We have GIANT plans for some climbing in the mother land of East Coast bouldering, the New River Gorge.  New River Gorge?!  Wha???

Yes, New River Gorge.  Imagine a place where GIANT, river polished sandstone eggs rest along the banks of the oldest river in the country.  Unclimbed boulders are around every corner and tall proud lines will put the New River Gorge on the map as a bouldering destination in the South East, and we aim to prove it.

We are getting organized to bring you an action packed, Louder Than 11 story lines combined with amazing visuals and hard first ascents in a dreamlike setting.  I will be giving writing video shoot updates with pictures and some behind the scenes footage to give some perspective into our film making experience so stay tuned!

This weekend is the final leg of the Triple Crown and I am excited to see who will come out on top…  oh wait.  I already know who won.  Jimmy Webb.  Well done Jimmy!  Im still excited to see who makes 2nd and 3rd overall.  I predict THE Brion Voges in 2nd.

Here is an advertisement that Andy Mann shot for Urban Climber a couple weeks ago:

The boulder, the myth, the legend…  Full Chaos (V10) does exist and I climbed it!  Flashed it in fact.  I have wanted to climb on this “secret” boulder for a long time and had always heard stories about its quality and how difficult it is to find.  Ryan Silven and I made it our mission [...]
