Jorg Verhoeven was a strong force in this year's Lead World Cup circuit, but when he wasn't pulling down on plastic, he was crushing outside as well. Here, he climbs Pure Imagination (5.14d) in the Red River Gorge, Kentucky. Pure Imagination was established by Jonathan Siegrist in November 2010 and repeated by local Adam Taylor in spring 2011. Verhoeven's ticklist also includes 50 Words for Pump (5.14c), Southern Smoke (5.14c), and 25 routes in the 5.13a to 5.13d range, most onsights or flashes, according to his blog.
