Jason Kehl has been bouldering in Hueco since 1996, logging many winters there living out of his van. Some claims to fame include his first ascent of the notorious Evilution (V12, 2002) in the Buttermilks and the first bouldering ascent of The Fly (5.14d, 2003) in Rumney.
Since then he has made hard first ascents from Japan and Peru to Europe and the US, including The SeventhCircle (V14) in Hueco. Jason is also well known for his collection of bizarre baby dolls and unusual art — see www.cryptochild.com. He has shaped holds for SoiLL for 20 years, and has designed more than 10 gyms, including the Englewood, Colorado Earth Treks which is one of the biggest in the country.
He now lives in El Paso, Texas with the lovely Martina Mali and their sweet baby daughter Eva Luna. When not writing guidebooks, he continues to shape holds, design gyms, and make videos while exploring the endless potential of Hueco Tanks.
