LOCAL NEWS:

Our very own Nic Oklobzija, fresh in from Minnesota, tore it up at the Tram this weekend. After crushing every problem on the Vanishing Point boulder, (including Flight of the Osirus v7, Snowblind v8, Vanishing Point v9, and the newly established Vesper v10), he had a first ascent of Vesper SDS v11.

Also Alan Moore another member of the Threshhold staff added a hard problem in the beach on the Blue Flame boulder. Alan added 5 hard moves to the Cackler v9, by climbing it from an obvious sit. Alan is suggesting v10.
