Daniel Woods and Jimmy Webb Climb One of America's Hardest Boulders | Ragin' the Rockies, Ep. 3
Deep in First Creek Canyon outside Red Rocks, Nevada, a new sandstone bouldering zone has revealed a true testpiece: The Nest, a shouldery V15 that’s widely considered one of America’s hardest boulders. In this episode of Ragin’ the Rockies from EpicTV, Daniel Woods and Jimmy Webb arrive in winter conditions hunting for a monster, and set their sights on the line locals Andy Raether and Kenny Barker helped bring into the spotlight. What makes this short film so satisfying is the contrast in approach—two of the world’s best boulderers unlocking the same problem with distinct styles, from razor crimps and tense body positions to subtle heel hooks and commitment on the finishing moves. It’s part process, part payoff: thoughtful attempts, rising pressure, and the kind of precision that turns a “project” into a first and second ascent—an addictive watch for anyone who loves hard bouldering and the atmosphere of a raw desert canyon.
