The Recent Quest for the Microclimb

Joel sending The Sherman Problem Stand Start (V5)

My interest in climbing has recently swung to the micro climb.  Bouldering.  There is a certain beauty in working out the hardest moves possible without the rope on smaller garage sized boulders.  I've been coaching bouldering for the past three years but really haven't put in the time to see what I can do outside, until now, and I'm having a blast.  It's been like finding a new sport and I've really been inspired some of the others I've had a chance to boulder with the past few weeks.
