Noah Wheeler Sends 2 V16 Boulder Problems in a Week

"Noah Wheeler Sends 2 V16 Boulder Problems in a Week" is a rock climbing video (11 minutes) published by Wheel Rock on June 17, 2026 with 43K views. Available to watch free on CouchClimbs.

Noah Wheeler steps into the elite tier of bouldering with an extraordinary week of ascents, sending two of the world's hardest boulder problems and suggesting V16 / 8C+ for both. His first target is Brace for the Cure, a brutally crimpy traverse that launches off the legendary Jade V14 wall — a problem with only one prior ascent to its name, established by Matt Fultz. Days later, Wheeler returns to the same iconic stone to tick Creature from the Black Lagoon, a Daniel Woods original placed just feet away and left standing since 2016. What makes this film essential viewing is the rare chance to witness a climber operating at the absolute cutting edge of the sport across back-to-back sessions. The footage captures not just the sends but the raw physical and mental demands of crimping at this level — moves so precise and powerful that only a handful of people on earth can execute them. For fans of hard bouldering, this is the kind of week that rewrites what seems possible.
