Big Day on Mt. Evans

Paul Robinson had an extraordinary day of bouldering on the slopes of Mt. Evans in Colorado last week, climbing all of the problems on the heavily stacked Dali Boulder in a single afternoon. What’s that mean, exactly? Between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m., in order, Robinson climbed: 

• Warm-up Crack Thing (V3), 1^st go
• No More Greener Grasses (V12), 1^st go
• Clear Blue Skies (V12), 1^st go
• Mental Masturbation (V12), 2^nd go
• Ode to the Modern Man (V14), 4^th go
• Super Gui (V11), 1^st go
• Dali (V8), 1^st go
• Pat’s Arête Low (V8), 2^nd go 

Robinson, 20, had done all of these problems before. Earlier this month, he made the fourth ascent of Ode to the Modern Man. In August, he made the third ascent of Jade (V14/V15) in Rocky Mountain National Park. 

Date of Ascent: September 27, 2007
