June 19th, 2007, the US climber Daniel Woods established what is considered by some to be the hardest boulder problem in the USA, Jade, which has been given V15 or Font 8c. This was the Green 45 project in Upper Chaos Canyon, in Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) in Colorado.

Tyler Landman, avoiding the summer heat by bouldering at high altitude bouldering areas in the US, is hot on Daniel Woods' trail.

Great looking problem. Fantastic effort by Tyler to get the second ascent so quickly.

In reply to Mick Ryan - UKClimbing.com: Unbelievable, he's going to have to move soon, he must have done every hard problem in Colorado now! I guess there's still some hard projects to go up there though - there seems to be thousands of boulders. Go Ty!

"by bouldering at high altitude areas like Squamish, Canada..."

Squampton is at sea level....
In reply to TimS: None of Jim Holloway's Big Three have been repeated I think.

According to a thread on UKB, Meathook has, the other two probably haven't.

In reply to Peter Walker: I didn't think that the repeat of Meathook had been confirmed. It has been repeated by Scott Blunk using an indirect start (Cheathook). It would be nice to think that these problems will be repeated soon with the current high standards in the States.

> the US climber Daniel Woods established what is considered by some to be the hardest boulder problem in the USA ... Tyler Landman has repeated Jade... and made attempts at Tim Clifford's new problem, The Singularity.

It would seem then, applying UKC Standard Logic™, that The Singularity must be the hardest problem in North America?

That would be tobyfk Logic™, there are many other variables not mentioned.

That kid is repeating some really evil looking problems, and at 16yrs old!! Destined for greatness if he stays lucky with injuries.

Watched the vid of DW on Jade and the starting moves look ridiculous!

Singularity? Watch this space........
