Jimmy Webb

Jimmy Webb, born in 1987, is an American professional rock climber who specialises in bouldering. He is one of a small number of climbers who have climbed the boulder grade V16 (8C+), with first ascents of Sleepwalker in Red Rocks in 2018 and Ephyra in Chironico in 2019. He won the men event at the 2013 Psicobloc Masters Series in Park City, Utah, beating Chris Sharma, Daniel Woods, Dave Graham and Tommy Caldwell. In 2014 he climbed two V15 problems, The Understanding and Practice of the Wild, within a week and repeated Defying Gravity. He has flashed six problems at V13 or harder, which led Dead Point Magazine to call him arguably the best flash boulderer in the world, and he has also redpointed the sport route Empath at 9a+.
