Dave Graham is an American boulderer and sport climber who is known for his extremely technical climbing style that makes a lot of use of toe hooks and knee bars, as well as his longevity in the sport and his extensive collection of first ascents.
Graham started climbing in 1997 and very quickly worked his way through the grades, climbing his first 8b+ sport route just a year later. By the end of 2000, he had climbed 9a, bouldered 8B and made a historic flash of C'Était Demain (8A). But that was just the start.
Some of his notable ascents include The Story of Two Worlds (fa), Action Directe (fourth ascent), From Dirt Grows the Flowers (fa), The Island (fa) and The Ice Knife (fa).
