Shauna Coxsey V11 Bouldering in ColoradoVideo

Young British boulderer Shauna Coxsey has now finished her three week tour of Colorado boulder problems.

Shauna has now rounded up her trip on her blog.

Highlights include:

  • Rebellion - V9
  • Whispers of Wisdom - V11
  • Mind Matters - V12 (Shauna says possibly V11)
  • Dark Horse - V10 (Flash)
  • Riddles in the Park - V12

On the blog Shauna talks a little about giving it everything:

"I talk a lot about trying hard and putting every thing you can into a boulder which is something that has totally transformed my climbing this year and has definitely made me much stronger mentally and physically both in training and in competition. However, this is not something that I had ever tried to translate onto rock. I guess mainly because I rarely get outdoors. On this trip I have got onto boulders ready to try hard and get to the top. I have felt holds on a climb and thought 'as if I can hold that' and gone on to complete the boulder in a few tries and I have held on so tight that I cut the side of my finger. I climbed an amazing V11 called Whispers of Wisdom, a magical line of good spaced out holds up a steep wall with a 20m slab to finish. I don't think I have ever tried so hard on anything."

Looks a nice place to climb and that's an imprssive ticklist to accrue! But that doesn't look like 20 metre slab to me...

O dear, it's a 15m slab! False reporting- Shauna you criminal! Strong effort. Looks like a fine problem.

You goon. It doesn't even look close to being 15m... And for a Yorkshireman, you're sense of 'tongue in cheek' is abysmal. It's a little like doing a hard problem at Back Bowden, then making a point that you finished up an HVS. But then again, I might be reading it all wrong, and the top slab might be desperate...however she makes it look neither difficult nor 20m long, the first 3m however look like the living end.

No it's definitely 20m............. wide! Nice climbing on the steep face.

I'm not really a Yorkshireman anymore. It's definitely 15m. Perhaps Shauna could go back and repeat it, so we could get a different angle of the top.
