Craig Hurst sends Absolution, Idaho V12

Check out the photos of Craig Hurst on Absolution, one of the hardest problems at Reynolds Creek in Idaho. Craig told us he spent 5 or 6 days trying to send, then on January 12, the temps and his insane crimp strength were just right for completion. All photos courtesy of Rick Reuter.

age- 22
years climbed- 6
best climbing experience- as i traveled through the brush on a back pack trip for 8 days! i found a boulder! how amazing it is to climb next to a lake and touch a rock that you know no one has ever climbed. even though it was an easy problem it was a new connection to climbing i had never had!
biggest accomplishments- the training and effort that went into getting the strength to climb "GREEN IN THE FACE" V13
favorite style- i like most styles of climbing for they complement each other and help you get better in all areas, but bouldering is definitely my favorite!
favorite climbing quote- i am a climber therefore i must climb- Dave graham
food- pasta!!!
music- a mix of everything i enjoy finding new bands and experiencing new sounds.
anything else people need to know about you- i climb more then most and i enjoy it as much as i enjoy breathing it is my passion and joy! climbing has impacted me and my life more then anything else.
