Watch Jimmy Webb Send Lucid Dreaming V15
He made the fifth ascent at the start of the year
At the start of January 2020, Jimmy Webb sent Lucid Dreaming V15 on the Grandpa Peabody boulder, Bishop, California.
On Instagram, Webb wrote, “Throughout my climbing life I’ve always considered myself a terrible crimp climber. I convinced myself long ago that I was either too big, or just to weak to be able to push myself in this style. So with this in mind I’ve simply stayed away.
“I feel like I’ve always been scared to try these types of boulders because deep down I believed I was going to fail. Sometimes though, you just want to prove to yourself that you can do it. Or at least try damn hard. This was the case for me this winter season in Bishop. I arrived with zero expectations and on my 9th day of battle I was able to make an ascent of Lucid Dreaming V15.”
Paul Robinson made the first ascent back in March 2010 and originally suggested V16. Other hard climbs on the boulder at the time included Kevin Jorgeson’s Ambrosia V11, Jason Kehl’s Evilution Direct V11 and Jared Roth’s Rastman Vibration V12.
The second ascent was in 2014 by Daniel Woods, the third by Alex Megos and the fourth by Toru Nakajima in 2017.
