sexual_chocolate Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 On Dec, 4th, at the Happy Boulders in Bishop, CA, Cicada Jenerik sent Lowrider, 7C/+ (V10) at 10 years old. As far as we know no-one else has ever bouldered their age and no other 10 year old has come close to a V10. Peter Mortimer (Front Range Freaks) filmed the send for his upcoming movie "Return to Sender" Cicada worked the moves on Friday the 3rd, but didn't feel reved up enough to really go for it. The temperature was really cold. She went back on Saturday the 4th and sent it within a dozen or so attempts. 'Lowrider' is the extension to 'Cholos' which Cicada sent on November 13, 2004 Bouldering her age has been one of her primary goals since she was 7, needless to say she's rather stoked. Badass. And Josune cranks again! Josune Bereziartu has done Logical Progression, 9a at Joyama in Japan. The route was put up by Dai Koyamada in 2002. The same year Josune did her first 9a, Bang de sang at Saint Loup. You go girls! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sexual_chocolate Posted December 7, 2004 Author Share Posted December 7, 2004 More on 10 year old phenom Josune: And Logical Progression is just her warm-up: She has traveled to Japan this winter hoping to climb Yuji Hirayama’s 2003 route Flat Mountain (5.15a), one of the hardest rock climbs in the world. My bets are on Josune getting it, since her power has improved so much in recent years, cranking up to V12 or so on power problems....

Gary_Yngve Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 10 years old and bouldering that hard? that can't possibly be good on the connective tissues of someone still growing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
specialed Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 Impressive. But not quite as impressive as drinking your age in beers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigwalling Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 Impressive. But not quite as impressive as drinking your age in beers. That is not that hard at my age! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexual_chocolate Posted December 7, 2004 Author Share Posted December 7, 2004 Jeez people, haven't you ever heard of Josune Bereciartu, from the Basque region of Spain? She's not really 10, that was just a nod to Dru's silliness; she's 30 something (I think?) and has a pretty deep hunger for climbing that's downright contageous.

Would have to be in one sitting though. Even if you were only 19 that would be impressive, though not unheard of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willstrickland Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 Happy Boulders V10 = V8 anywhere else. Ask Distel. Drinking your age doesn't count either if you do it in Utah, or using the Florida's "beach beer". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
