Dave Graham (climber) - Hueco

Hueco

• In the winter of 2006, Graham visited the bouldering mecca of the Hueco Tanks, TX and proceeded to repeat many of its hard problems as well as established many new lines. Descriptions of some of this trip can be found on Ben Moon's blog.
• On January 20, 2006 Graham repeated Esperanza (8B+/V14, FA by Fred Nicole). On February 1, 2006 he then repeated Terre de Sienne (8B+/V14, FA by Fred Nicole). Next, on February 6, 2006 he repeated El Techo de los tres B (8B+/V14, FA by Fred Nicole) and grabbed the second ascent of Diabolique (8B/V13, FA by Chris Sharma). He also fell at the top of the problem on his flash attempt of Slashface (FA by Fred Nicole) which Graham graded as 8B/V13, and subsequently did it on his second try on February 11, 2006. And on March 11, 2006 he had the FA of The Evangalion (8B), which is up the Slashface boulder. Sharma and Graham also worked on a new project together called The Land Before Time (8B), which saw its first ascent on 2006-02-17 by Graham. He was also trying the Nicole problem Terremer (V15), which is a logical link-up of Diaphanous Sea (V12) and Terre de Sienne, when he tore a flapper on his finger and so could no longer continue working the problem.

• Graham took a few months off in the summer of 2006 to nurse a climbing injury.
• On 2006-09-13, hopefully indicative that his injury has healed with some osteopathy, Graham had the FA of Scarred for Life in Fionnay, Switzerland. It is a 30-move roof boulder problem, which he graded 8B+.

• On March 1, 2009, Graham revisited Hueco Tanks during the Rock Rodeo Competition. He did absolutely nothing, but won a pull up competition.
