Jamie Emerson has a deep desire to explore and develop new problems and areas. The Colorado-based climber has spent the majority of his climbing career pushing the boundaries of bouldering in the American West. He has discovered, cleaned and climbed classic lines across the Rocky Mountains and beyond. Developing in remote areas like Emerson does certainly puts the adventure back into bouldering, but in breaking new ground you have to have a different kind of commitment to the sport.
