On New year's eve, Dave Graham made the first ascent of Memory is Parallax, 8B+, in Elkland north of Boulder, Colorado. Three weeks later, Daniel Woods made the 2nd ascent, confirming the grade, beauty and similarity to the Bishop classic Stained glass.

Here is an opportunity to compare Dave's and Daniel's very different climbing styles. One gets the impression Dave has it slightly better dialed, don't you agree?
