Paul Robinson in Red Rocks - A potential new Mecca

Paul Robinson who has set up a dozen 8B+ and harder around the world says that Red Rocks could be another mecca also for hard core bouldering. His latest 8B+ FA there is Trieste, see picture by Devlin G. "The line is one of the coolest boulders I have ever climbed. It is almost 7 meters tall and has both a hard overhanging section and a technical slab at the top that is committing and scary. The beginning is the crux and requires a lot of power but also has bad slippery feet that are hard to keep on! It's kind of like Australia. There are all these different valleys and you have to explore them all to find the best rock. It's a pretty sick place. A lot of potential. Just gotta search for it. In the end of his Red Rocks video, he has some great footage of this amazing problem.
