Noah Wheeler flashes 8B and does 8Cโ€™s in a day

Noah Wheeler, who started 2025 by sending his first two 9Aโ€™s, has had an amazing day in Cascade, starting with a second go ascent of The Hero of Ages (8C). โ€14/15. Thinking a little harder than Final Empire? Would've flashed the stand but dabbed, then immediately fired the sit first go from start. Incredible to try hard climbs in my exact style!โ€

Later he flashed Inglorious Bastards (8B), giving it a personal 8A+ grade. โ€Good one! Feels very consistent throughout.โ€, and redpointed Death's End (8C), โ€Sent a few goes after Hero of Ages in one of my best days yet! Mostly a temp/light crux, where, as it was 80/90 degrees out during the day, I had to wait until 12:30 - 1am for good temps, upon which the darkness makes it difficult to light up the crux holds sufficiently. Undoubtedly a mega line on mega rock.โ€

How come you have not done any boulders the last six weeks and what about the night session?
Havenโ€™t climbed outside in a while because its been so hot in CO! Summer is mostly just a period of training for me - board climbing over all else in order to ramp for Switzerland 2-3 months in the fall.

This trip to Idaho was a short vacation that happened to be near world-class bouldering, which we took advantage of. Since its so hot during the day, most of my sends came at 12-2am.
