Overcoming Injury to First 8B+ for David Wetmore

David Wetmore has done his first 8B+ with Big Worm at Mount Evans, Colorado. I climbed on this boulder 7 years ago during a school vacation and became immediately infatuated with its thuggy style. But I blew an A2 pulley completely apart the third day of the trip, flew back to Boston to have reconstructive surgery, and was forced to stop climbing for a long time. It feels pretty damn good to come back after all that time and take care of business. Psyched!" David is an accomplished route setter and is spending this fall setting at The Spot Bouldering Gym in Colorado and traveling home to Boston to set The Darkhorse Series competitions. He has previously climbed 4 8Bs, one a First Ascent. Photo: Bebe Wolverine at Lincoln Lake (c) Dave's Louder Than 11 Blog.
