Eric Jerome's Top 100 Double Digit Boulders - US Edition

Eric Jerome loves lists. All kinds of them. Lucky for us, he also happens to be a brutally strong boulderer with a penchant for nerding out about all things bouldering.

I sat down with Eric and special guest Max Zolotukhin (one of the few people with a nerd level to rival Eric’s) and did my best to hold my own in one of the nerdiest conversations this podcast has ever hosted. Turns out, we only got about 1/3rd of the way through what we needed to. Hopefully at some point I’ll get these two to sit down again for more in depth examination of the most subjective objective list ever created.

In no particular order, INCLUDING VIDEO, but excluding the honorable mentions, V9/10 slash grades (those will make the single digit list), and top contenders, which nearly doubled this list, we present to you the:
