There's a nice looking four page article about Jim in this month's issue of the Polish climbing magazine, GORY. It was written by Piotr Drozdz, with a couple of pictures of Jim I contributed. It's good to see this great boulderer get some recognition. You can also go to http://www128.pair.com/r3d4k7/JimHolloway.html
for a brief profile on my website. 8^)

I'm amazed that these problems haven't been repeated. Are they well known by locals? Is there a site where I could get directions for finding them? (not that I'm going to send but I'd love to test my mettle - plus I match Jim's body type).

Two of these Holloway problems are in Boulder, CO, and the other is at Hosetooth reservoir outside Ft. Collins, CO. There are detailed descriptions of all three in Pat Ament's book called A History of Free Climbing in America, Wizards of Rock.
