SPAIN AND USA
Mon, 06/02/2012 - 16:01 — Philipe RibièreBefore to talk about Hueco Tanks, I propose you a short movie about the Spanish Trip.
Before to talk about Hueco Tanks, I propose you a short movie about the Spanish Trip.
After the last Petzl Roc Trip in China, I went to USA for two months. Normally we programmed to go in Hueco Tanks, Bishop and Joe's Valley but finally the snow won on our projects. Doesn't matter, we will found a solution.
But first after China, I went back to France to support my Handi-Grimpe's event who is still organized in Montigny-le-Bretonneux. A good event !
Then just the time to breath, I took a flight to the direction of the Boulder city to hang around with mister Dave Graham and Jon Cardwell. But my first focus was to organize and to meet some gyms who will be able to dress my Handi-Grimpe's event. I remind you that last year, I did three slideshows with Timmy O'Neil and Chad Butrick to talk about our vision of the handicap. For sure, we are not alone in USA because we were supported by the famous Paradoxsport who help many handicap persons to practice an extreme activity like the climbing, the trekking, the kayaking and the biking. I was so happy to found some positive energies here and to hear how americans people have no complex to talk about the handicap to compare at the Europe's part. They celebrate the handicap and it is awesome!
After a week in Dave's place, Martina and I went to Hueco Tanks.
For sure, every bouldering men and women know the famous place of Hueco.
Hueco is huge place in the middle of the desert of the Texas and precisely near the El Paso town. Nice ! There is many boulder separated in 3 spots like the North Mountain, East Spur and West Mountain.For sure,there is some rangers who control the place but at the end it doesn't disturb, in fact !
We arrived at midnight and my friend Jason Kehl came to pick us to drive in the Hueco Rock Ranch who will become our place for 2 months. Nice! At the beginning, we were like simple climbers but we find the solution to not pay the camping and the trailer where we lived. The solution is simple : get a job in Hueco Rock Ranch.
Just a sarcastic sentence of my part, It was almost the first time I worked for someone and to be under his orders. I knew this case when I worked the first time for my studies in the insurance company but it is also why I never wanted to do again this experience to work for someone and to become a professional climber. Not that I am lazy but just more in the side to be independent. Well I close the subject !
To be honest, it was a bit hard to start correctly with the rock of Hueco because it is a kind of hard granite. So you should understand directly that even do you will be so excited to climb on, you have to climb on day "in" and one day "off". I mean it worked for myself and so I wish you it works also for you. Basically, the climbing is a pretty physical for muscles but it also interesting to be perfect n the coordination way. Because it is impossible to try many times the same boulder. If you are a bit mass like me, trying try a lot but the blood was all on my fingers. Check it the movie !
Otherwise, I can't give the name of all problems that I sent for this trip but the only one thing I am proud to sent the old projects of last year. And also I am proud of my last training in Slovenia and my bronze medal what I got during the last World Championship who helps me to be more concentrate and to believe at my climbing. I pushed my limits, I was training a lot and also my sponsors give me always their confidence. All good things can give you a progression on the climbing and by contrast it helps you to be calm on all life situations.
Now I am bit resting in Fontainebleau before to start again the travels and some works in Slovenia to prepare the promotion of WILD ONE.
Thanks a lot to follow my adventures.

Daniel Woods on his new problem, Mirror Reality
Wed, 25/01/2012 - 19:37 — Petzl_AmericaI first got word from Dave Graham in May of 2011 of a potential new project in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado. The climb is located a few hundred feet past the Moraine Park turnoff, on the right hand side of the road. An obvious landmark to look for is the raging river filled with house sized boulders, running underneath the road bridge. You park in a pull out just past the bridge on the right and run a few hundred feet up the hillside into the woods.

Eager for new boulders, I decided to take a solo mission and check it out. The nature of the rock is glassy with large chunks of crystal seamed together, creating just enough friction to hold on. The beginning is steep (45 degrees overhanging), but as soon as you reach the lip, the angle changes to a bulged-out slab. You begin with a four move 8A+, the crux of which revolves around a low-percentage first move. The theme of the problem begins (most of the time concludes) at the half way point of the boulder. Here you take a flat full-pad edge with your right hand and a flat half-pad edge with your left, place your right toe on a needle-tip piece of crystal, and jump blindly over the bulge to a glassy sloper with your left hand. This one move in itself is around 8A and is tough to stick from this point, let alone from the beginning. The exit is a four-move 7C/+ with a hard right-foot rock over to the finishing edge. At this point you are relieved and can walk off to the right.

I tried this project on and off for a couple of weeks in May into June, but the conditions became too warm to succeed. At this point I was disappointed, knowing I was not able to return until the spring of 2012. My plan was to travel to Europe and boulder for the fall/winter season. The whole time I was in Europe, I thought about this project and if anyone was going to go try it. I heard that a couple of climbers in Boulder were working it on and off, but there was still no success. My departure time in Europe arrived and I flew back to Colorado in January. I had my doubts that the project would be doable in winter, due to snow levels. With a low snow season, the park was in prime conditions and I paid the “Bridge Project” another visit.
It took a few days to remember the moves, but on my fifth day I executed each move perfectly and grunted my way to the top. Dave Graham and Cameron Maire were there to support me, and it felt nice to have friends to share this experience with. There are still more projects to be climbed. I am impressed with how much rock the park has to offer. It seems that gems keep popping up each year, get cleaned, and then become a reality.
