Bouldering at Evergreen, Colorado.



This past tuesday was an amazing 70 degrees,  and I just had to get outside!  I had my eyes set on Rock Cheetah v12+ along with the traverse project into it.  I came very close to sending Rock Cheetah but could not quite snag the opening crux move,  a big left hand gaston move to a sharp crimp.  By the time I had figured out some good beta my fingers were too sore from working the top moves as I had no spotters and was holding on tighter than usual to make sure I hit the small landing zone below me.  I was however able to snag the First Ascent of the traverse project and dubbed it "Death Wish" v10.  I am very excited to go back with fresh hands and hopefully some more pads and spotters next time to give Rock Cheetah a send go.

  1. Awesome climb Alex, thanks for posting the video. I live about a mile from the Three Sisters and have to pretty good size older Metolius pads, your more than welcome to borrow 'em if you need them.
