Jimmy Webb Climbs Technical V15 in U.S.A.
He said Equanimity is one of the most technical boulders that he's climbed
American climber James Webb has made the second ascent of Carlo Traversi’s Equanimity V15 at Kirkwood Lake, California. He said that it is “potentially a contender for the hardest technical boulder in the world?” Webb first attempted Equanimity a few years ago.
After his first ascent, Traversi said, “Proposing V15 for this one. The most difficult series of moves I’ve done in a while. Such a crazy tech power style. Transitioning through a series of bad laybacks with shit smear feet followed by an off balance top section way off the deck.”
Webb was born in Tennessee and started climbing at 17 and was soon repeating hard lines in Chattanooga, In 2013, he visited the Rocklands where he flashed several V13 boulders. He went on to become one of the best flash climbers of his generation. While known for his bouldering, he also ticked Dreamcatcher 5.14d and Bad Girls Club 5.14d.
Some of Webb’s most difficult problems include Ephyra V16, Sleepwalker V16 FA, Poison the Well V16, Insomniac V16, Living’ Large V16 and Creature from the Black Lagoon V16. Watch Webb climb Off the Wagon Sit V16 below.
