In 2008, Dave Wetmore suffered a debilitating finger injury that has plagued his climbing career. After fully rupturing the A2 pulley on his left ring finger and having a rarely done reconstructive surgery, his doctor told him that climbing would be nearly impossible, especially at a professional level. After a year of rehabilitation Dave hit the bouldering scene with a new found drive. Dave set his sights on a V14 in Colorado called BIG WORM and never looked back. This is the story of Dave's experience with Big Worm.

Louder Than 11 presents a Colorado bouldering epic with help from Dead Point Magazine, Friksn Clothing, Project Holds, and Revolution Climbing. Jon Glassberg and Nate Draughn are climbing in the high country when they stumble upon a mysterious meteorite crash site. They approach the impact zone to collect the debris and discover that the alien meteorite has unique powers. The residue on their hands glows and tracks their movements through space and time. Quickly Jon and Nate grab as much as they can and stuff it into their chalk bags and head to the boulders with the alien substance.

In the winter of 2009, Louder Than 11 was approached by a strapping young lad by the name of Ronnie Dickson. Ronnie is almost the same as every other climber out there. He is very psyched to boulder all the time, push himself to climb harder, and devote his life to climbing rocks in the woods. Besides his magnetic personality and ambitious drive Ronnie is set apart from the pack because he has one leg. Ronnie’s left leg was amputated at the age of 17 due to Trevor’s Disease. Since his obsession with climbing began, he has pushed himself to reach personal climbing goals, develop prosthetics for climbers and represent for disabled athletes across the world.

In the late weeks of November, the Louder Than 11 crew gathered from all corners of the country to experience Yosemite Valley bouldering. As a group of passionate individuals, we enveloped ourselves in the landscape for two weeks, attacking boulders as if tomorrow would never come. On the surface, the very foundation of our identities is built on rock climbing—a sport that we believe is the greatest on the planet—but there is much more to this seemingly inherent addiction than meets the eye.

A story about climbing in the high country of Colorado. Mt. Evans is a world renowned bouldering destination and the newest development has been at Lincoln Lake near the summit of the 14,000 Ft Mountain.

Abyss - North America's highest bouldering is a documentary about bouldering that takes place in Guanella Pass and Mount Evans. It was directed by Rich Crowder in 2012 and produced by Louder Than 11.
