Working up to the king line. This felt limit today, hoping my elbow keeps on this trend and I can be back at it in full force soon! Such a peaceful day on the river, not a single boater or other person around. Got to explore more quality boulders down river. It's not endless but there certainly is not enough time in the day ...

Had been mentally preparing for this boulder for a long time. Water needs to be below about 50cfs I think or a puddle forms under the bottom. Kyle repeated on our next day out and did the jug rail traverse coming in from the right. Rad river boulder.

More cursed than its taller and prouder neighbor, but a great climb nonetheless. This was my initial goal that was eclipsed by my higher aspirations. Fanning with one of the coolest FA's I've seen in person of the Split Rock arete. And an absolute wild end to the day. CFS went from 400 ish to over 3k with a surprise release of the dam. Roper finding his fishing poles and Lisa's sun shirt were icing on the cake! Great day! Scary copperheads ...

Incredible. Looked past this previously due to the height and uncertainty. Not too hard, more scary, although the landing is easy to pad with good foam. Stays in the shade til mid afternoon. Water level (started) low this day, CFS mid 400s, I think probably up to 800+/- should be fine for this boulder.

Not sure why I did not put in the effort to finish this years ago, I now see the error in my ways. Amazing slopes and pinches straight out the middle of this great cave. Is this basalt?

Great roof climb lip traverse on amazing granite pinches and wraps. The rock on this is excellent, possibly the best granite I've climbed on anywhere. Had a frustrating first day on this rig, felt terrible, jittery, not enough sleep, could not get my life together. First go from the start after a calm and collected warm-up today. I also found a clutch right crimp to let the foot walk through the crux be chill, I probably would have sent quickly on day 1 with this. Max 2nd go'ed it! Contender for best single line in Acadia? Bon Voyage is pretty great ... 🤔

Love the progression. Possibly still would be the best way up of the boulder even if the giant log was not there.

What an incredible wall. 3 days, almost took it down with unrefined beta on day one, day two was way too cold and I was way too tired, day three was also too cold and I almost did not do it but a couple beta tweaks made it possible even when I was fatigued. I insist it is not high in the grade ... but is high in quality. Perhaps I will return for some other bubble action.

I really like the holds on this guy, perhaps other than the sharp 3 finger crimp. Cool patina divots and pockets! I think the climbing has better progression on this line than Sumthin', but is also a heck of a lot harder and sustained. Used the hands-on-the-rock cooling method presend which truly made a difference. Warm day but had a (not quite) alpine start to get acceptable temps. Rad boulder, glad I made the long approach out here!

Crocsmith Boulders
MEGA! Insane boulder, probably the longest boulder problem I've climbed, about 30 moves before I'm standing pulled up onto the face and a couple more moves to get topped out. The rock is uncomfortable through the middle section but the climbing on the two boulders is very fun. Probably a v8 at the bottom and v7 at the top connected by easier climbing. The pump factor is so huge I can't see this getting less than 10 points. Glad Steve got to polish her off before I had a chance to make it back! Landed at CVG at 210p, drove the 2+ hours to bethel, hiked the miserable bethel hike in the humidity only to find condensed rock, drove the 1.5 hours to this, found it condensed on the sides, went to bed to wake up to it only slightly damp and finishing drying. Warmed up on the middle section, did the end boulder twice falling on the last move one of those. Rested, fired her from the bottom. No way I could have made it through the 2nd boulder if I had to try again. Great strike mission!

A new, nearly roadside mega that has mentally been years in the making. From a horrid landing, to the silt covered wall, and with the challenging water levels, this was never the priority it should have been. An absolute endurance masterpiece with a just-hard-enough crux at just the right height. And holy shit, Kensie's 1st-go-of-the-day send was insane with an honestly frightening level of commitment. Yes!

What a beautiful, beautiful boulder and immaculate rock. I may be partial to Nuttallburg stone but this is arguably the best rock at the New. White gold. Traverses are not normally my jam (although OSOG comes to mind) but the beauty and difficulty of this was too good to pass up. Hoping that access is secured! Regarding the grade, it took me 5 days, 2 of which I regressed. I did two 11s (albeit low end) on my first day of effort each this season and this is substantially harder than those and arguably more my style. However, in isolation the crux sequence feels solid v10. I think upper 11 or very entry level 12 and a specific skillset. Most psyched I've been for a single line in a long while. Thank you Kevin, Chill, Steve for coming out with me on different days.

Oh my, thought I was not going to do this again when I split my pinky in the first good go with no tape. This boulder needs it to be cold and my skin cold. 32 degrees in Mount Lookout and probably 5 to 10 degrees warmer down here. Gamble paid off not climbing more yesterday after finishing Between Beauty, but just barely. Feels 10/11 but I don't do slashes so 10.9 it is.

Between Beauty, Low Start

Boulder
at
Beauty Mountain Boulders
This took me many days of effort for a climb that does not seem that hard for others. I was forgetting the crucial toe hook for the 1st move off the middle start. Some major funkery for the beginning because I just cannot float around on the middle start holds like I've see so many other people do. Watched Eric do this 1st try after flashing the middle start, very impressive.
2018-8-6 Between Beauty, Middle Start: Huge jump from stand (2 tries for it) and another huge to the full line, will have to try in cooler conditions. Needed to keep the toe hook for the 1st move to keep the tension for the 2nd. Another awesome wall with tons of links and variations courtesy of Marley!

Snuck one more in before the new year! Surprised nobody did this years ago, but it is specific and difficult. I climb well in a tiny box. Really not so much power endurance even if I barely made it through the end section, desperation on every move after the crux. The low start is a mega line and I imagine hard 12. Glad Chill nabbed this one! I've been struggling to create momentum this fall and early winter but maybe this was the ticket. What's next?

From the last good holds before the horizontal seam I went left (easier) than right. True last go best go scenario as I ripped a large hole in my left index finger on the send go. Probably would have dispatched a few moves earlier had a figured the high left foot for the crux move. Felt 10/11 although incredibly specific ... and incredibly awesome. I think more folks (especially those with small fingers and short reaches) would do better on this than they'd expect. Hope it gets more love! I will be back, the arete beckons.

Beautiful boulder, beautiful setting, near immaculate rock. Cannot remember how closely I looked at this before but good chance the landing was under water. Heady with limited pads and no spot! Probably height dependent, expect this will feel really hard with a short reach. I think this is the boulder that Paul Nelson pointed out echos as you float by in a raft. I bet Paul would know what an Echoplex is. My favorite run of the lower New, miss you dude.

Rain predicted all week, but got this incredible window. Water still low 40 CFS today. I think I sandbagged Berry Picking. This is a super cool problem but the line is forced because of the dab rock. Unfortunate dab potential but I still really enjoyed the climbing. This may be my favorite single boulder in the world because of how improbable it is. What a great day.

Been a long while since I punted this hard. Thank goodness I was able to pull it off again, and it let me find a better foot beta for the final hard move. Pure desperation at the top. The holds on this boulder continue to just straight wow me. 4 grand lines and this is the hardest. Difficult for me to tell how much easier this will be when it is cold, but I am continuing to try and decrease my sandbaggery so will go with low end double.

Incredible this boulder has 2 almost entirely separate lines up the two adjacent features. This one could have been awful but ended up climbing like a dream, techy with increasing tension until you unravel for the crux, followed by a couple more hard-enough moves to keep it interesting. Thought this would be harder as I was struggling the evening before but a night of rest and fresh psych, this went down first go from the start today. The new zone is fire!

Amazing I got this done although I'm not sure at what expense, another round of finger injuries coming to light as they seem to do each spring. Maybe worth it? Quite a warm day today high in the mid 70s but waited for prime day-time temps at about 730p to take her down. Feels maybe a hare (lol) easier than March Hare, a bit less friction dependent although I think overall the styles are similar. Hard to believe I would be able to do a 12 with one real day of work, even if I'd gotten the 1st two moves (nearly) dialed for March Hare, they are not the crux. It is once again my style although maybe a bit less so than March Hare. I could see both of these being really specific, high end 11s for small crimp masters, but will defer to Marley's assessment for now. Glad Kenny B got to come out today! And Odin! I think I sorted my beta for Cheshire Cat although never actually did the 2nd or 3rd moves but felt close and was pretty tired. Maybe something to try more in the fall or if we get a freak 50 degree day soon.

Fits me like a glove. Mega scrunch crimps and slimps, first 4 moves off the same foot. 2nd day this year maybe 4 days total I think because it's so specific and my jam that it may slide into low end 12 but will need to wait for a repeat, which seems like it will be rare due to the specific nature of the climb. Small person small finger friendly!!!! The rock on this one is simply spectacular. Send train with Derek and Scotty on Tom Thumb and me on this. Need to put in some effort on Mad Hatter while the weather sticks around. Excite! Now to see if I can fend of this tweaked finger ...

Did it but not especially happy about it. One weird move into an otherwise pretty cool problem. Still did the right exit. Ended up finding easier beta from the 2 pinches that takes you into "Shut The Front Door", if we're trying to not have eliminates. Obviously could have done it without the sloper too but would be even more contrived/forced. Climbed the lite version on 4-1-2023 "Not sure what happened but the beta I used today felt impossible when I tried this originally. Toe up on the start of "Shut the Front Door". Hand jam! Right exit today. Did not feel especially hard once I figured out the beta, could be easier. "

The Last Rainforest
The prettiest 8'x8' section of wall in the entire New? The right hand pinch is just phenomenal. Ended up being nearly a 1 move wonder for me, I do think this is going to be morphologic and may even feel v9ish for tall folk. It seems like once you can't reach the pinch comfortably it gets hard and the shorter you are the harder. Low start definitely goes but probably v12 with one singular hard move and then having to do the crux of the original again. So glad Zack made this happen because even though I'd looked at it before I never thought I'd drag my ass all the way up here and thought the landing was effed. We need more folks developing!

Took me a lot of sessions for this one especially if you include my initial Ravenous sessions. 2nd go from the start today, feel like I'm climbing well. I concede that despite the two crimps being the obvious start from afar, the undercling slot makes more sense. Dialed the kneebar sequence. Could not do Chipotle Honey today despite all out effort, the finger lock hurts! Original Ravenous sent 2017-01-02

Maybe 45 minutes? Effed the skin on both index fingers on Wildfire. I thought it might be too warm for Wildfire and my gamble did not pay off. 2nd ascent of this one I think. Felt pretty hard, pretty much brute forced the crux. Sounds like Josh was able to skip the campus move I had to do to reach the jug and reached it from low.

INSANE. Tallest boulder I've climbed that wasn't slab at the top and had a real mantle. Mantle at about 30 feet? I would have walked by this forever if Zack hadn't gotten psyched. Zack with a moment of flow state on the send. What a way to cap off the lake season. Excited to get back to the lake for more ... always.

Commando Boulders - Coopers Rock
3rd? Narrow weather window after my shift ending at midnight on Thursday and started raining at 1030 Friday morning, got to the parking at 830. Pretty quick but it is my style and friction was great, cloudy with temps in mid 40s when I started. Huge thanks to Dylan for coming out with me and putting in the word to make these gorgeous rigs happen! Psyched to try Abysmal again, the sess was cut short by the wet. Hard to say if this deserves the dd but felt more 8 or 9ish to me, I don't have any great comparators. Possibility of a bit lower start to eliminate the pad stackage?

WHAT?! Really didn't think this was going to go today. My third day on it only one other day this year, did the crux in isolation last year but didn't feel like I would have the endurance to link. 25+ moves of greatness. Scotty with the support! Out-of-towners don't know what they are missing. I suspect this is high 11 more than 12 but I also feel like I'm climbing well. Would surprise me to be able to finish this line after only 2 half days and one full day of effort, although I had worked the stand of Tom Thumb a couple of times. Will have to throw myself at more hard rigs soon. Need to figure out how to stay healthy this year.

Finally! One of my longest running projects even if it was far spaced sessions, still took me 4 or 5 days? Feel like for my height and reach this warrants an upgrade, I suppose it could be morpho enough to be a 9 for others although possibly just a sandbag from the start. 5th ascent after Rose, Mercer, Cox, Sellew? Used Cox's beta going to the sloper divot then bumping to the crimp. Camera glitched and repeated 2 goes later. Hope my shoulder isn't injured like on my prior sessions. Slowly ticking away on these harder to come by megas!

Also a really great climb, worthy addition to Monte. Did the end of this, then took me 5 or 6 tries to restick the 3rd (crux) move, including a dry fire that split my left index, and took it to the top. Possible dab on a rhodo leaf pulling my right foot up for the very last move although I don't see it in the footy. Very much enjoyed my day on this boulder and looking forward to more greatness.

Two hard right arm lock offs. If the rock was better quality this would get another star but the start hold is a giant loose flake. Looking forward to coming back and climbing the right side and others in this cluster. Kupferman with the FA! I need to check out all the other lines Roper fa'ed in this cluster today.

I overlooked this one before because I didn't realize there were near perfect, right hand holds underneath the overhang. The rock is downright spectacular quality, obvious jug start, fun somewhat delicate finish. Definite crux move but once you're tired from the crux move it is still on you til you hit the start of "Peanut Butter Kisses". Thank you for throwing me a bone! This one may get the downgrade but trying to sandbag less.

Simply outrageous. Possibly my favorite FA, at least up there with Deep Fried, OSOG, LOC SDS, Algorithmic. About 20, flowing moves on crimps across a giant roof, riverside. I first spotted this block Gauley season 2020 with a lower Gauley trip lead by Jeff Shields. I saw it again rafting 2021 and decided I needed to find it. To my complete surprise it had holds allllll the way out the entire roof. Simply delightful. 4th day on, although I may have been able to send day 3 with the slight beta changes I used on day 4. Jeremy Kupferman, JD Love, Josh Mowrer, Elliot Gaunt all with the support on different sessions. A contender I think for top 100 double digit boulders in the country, although the alternate start and theoretically alternate ending could be detractors. Entry 11 I think, will probably fill chill if you have good power endurance on edges.

What a lovely singular-line boulder. Only detractor is the particularly low start, but really after the 1st move this isn't a big deal. 2 days, quite warm on the 1st, 2nd day I came out and unfolded the pads in the morning only to pull on once and realize the direct sun was a no-go. Several hours and a few FAs later I managed to unexpectedly scrape this out. Everything is V8, it's true.

None of the pockets feel especially comfortable but I think this is as much because it was in the 60s and friction was hard to come by. The rose move really is quite cool. Glad Elliot put the effort in to make this wall a thing after having walked by it for years. Will be back for the direct. Chill soon after. The amount of effort this took seems like 9 points is fair.

2nd ascent of the low although admittedly easier for the first move now that I moved some more rock out of the way. Makes it far less dabby and far more pleasant. Really an awesome climb even if cruxy. One singular pocket in a 6 foot otherwise empty space of wall makes the whole thing work. Very much unexpected, a pretty warm day (high in low 70s). Only ever did the crux move twice, once in iso then in sequence. Fell asleep on the pads before the last two attempts; seemed to be the ticket. Elliot did the stand before this.

Matt Jones chalked up the holds after I dismissed it as being uninteresting, but ended up being a techy, resistant masterpiece. 3 days, falling on the last hard move on day 2 after finally landing on the sequence. Thought I may pull it down quickly on day 3 but had numerous foot slips on the crux cross move. Excited to take down one more new rig before the weather turns. First time my parents have ever seen my climb outdoors and what a special one. The name is as a reminder of tragic mistakes made, and to be better in the future.

1 move wonder for the difficulty with a major scare factor as the high crux, while physically much easier than the 1st move, is high up over a bad landing. Huge thanks to Gaunt who did some epic cleaning of the top of this boulder, I ended up doing 0 scrubbing, and for the built up landing that made the pad situation far more reasonable. Probably v9 for the difficulty + 1 for the highball factor. Will be back for Relic when my wrist is in a better place. Also thank you to Mitch for the spots and extra foam, could not have done this solo.

Wonka Cave Boulders
Went down with less fight than I expected but still with a punt, hanging on the right hand over around the lip before the jug. Warmer (near perfect temps in mid 40s I think) conditions than last week made this feel more approachable, and all of the beta refinement the week prior notched this down a good deal. I think entry level v11 as certainly harder than Disco Factory. Maybe my 2nd fav in the roof after Rock Candy. The train has gotta stop some time ...

Cold AF in this cave today despite the air temp being in upper 30s. Ridiculous weather shift from warm and sunny in the mid 60s on Friday to 6 inches of snow Saturday morning and lows in the upper single digits on Saturday night made the rock COLD. I really struggle with the low crux move on this, finally seemed to figure my exact foot placement. Feels damn hard for V9 although that may have been the cold and numbing out talking. Pop Rocks is gonna be hard hard to link.

Well fuck me sideways. Finally nailed the big move on this baby. The first move beta switcharoo made all the difference, could not have done it otherwise. Still felt like a barely there and hard enough that I might not be able to repeat easily. Unfortunately comes down to 1 move although you could still drop the top. Solid 11 seems fair with the number of days I put into this, although conditions are especially important for the right hand dish. Another good-un by Marley.

Downright beautiful boulder. Over the top psych by Zack Smith made this happen with a reasonable trek and a fuck ton of top out and landing work. Had sussed the beta a week or so before cuz the crossover was way to violent on my ailing right wrist and elbow. This boulder has more to give ... and Big Wave Surfing!!!!

WOWOWOW. This line may be the best of the grade at the new. Unbelievable. Only detractor is the landing which could be partly remedied with some strong backs. And to be such a short walk from the car. You guys make it too easy on me. Hung on the jugs to warm up so no flash.

V10+ I think is fair. V8 into V8, just so happens the high V8 has a giant crux move. Marley/Gaunt's beta up top ftw. Still dropped the big move from the start once, fingers pinged off the lip of the hold. Next time I got up there (2 goes later?) I was jittery but determined to make it happened. Committed to a jump to the top shelf and lip cuz I was too tired and drying out to do it smoothly. The move on Butler's Break is enormous! More greatness on this wall.

Oh. Shit. This wall is such a pretty one with the reverse tiger stripes. I thought this was going to be MUCH harder (closer to 12 range) but slowly unlocking the sequence, in particular the leg/hip position for the toe jam/cam, made the bottom nearly a sure bet and the business at the exit crux mantle. V8 low into a V8 lip encounter, top few hardest mantles I've done, I pressed with the right palm on a vertical spot to get over the lip. Appreciate all the psych from Jeremy Rush, Zack Smith, Zak Roper.

Power endurance! Barely eeked this out despite feeling close the 2 sessions before. 3rd day on but 1st it was a high of like 25, 2nd was the following day and was more tired than I realized. Felt like I couldn't control the right hand undercling pinch as well today, the thumb catch on it crumbled and not sure how much that contributed or if my right hand was just tired. Hoping the fitness is building for the next challenge. Felt harder to me than Mark of the Beast and this is V7 into V8ish so can't imagine either is harder than V10.
Edit: The terrifying 2 finger pocket broke giving a 2.5 finger pocket that makes the stand rather easier and settles the grade at likely low end 9, probably low end 10 with the beta I used which is still possible but unnecessary.

2nd ascensionist, not 2nd ascent. This boulder is incredible, the best stone ever (seriously), sitting in the middle of the New River. Great find by Marley, surprised I missed this in the initial exploration of Nuttallburg. Somehow we skipped the section between Bigley Shortley and the Pelican, I suspect there is more greatness we didn't scout.

Start sitting on the left facing Iron gills, climb through the business then exit the easiest way out the roof. Great moves. Need to do the low low on the slick slick? Marley is too strong for his own good and did a much harder foot sequence. Glad this is still accessible for us pedestrians.

Over starring this cuz the dyno is rad and I can do it. If I can do a dyno this quickly it's not that hard, but such a fun move. 25 minutes as the last problem of the drip, so psyched I tried it. Great 2 weeks in the Northeast hanging with Max and Yifan. Enjoyed myself greatly! Will be back. although maybe a couple years until I'm ready to sacrifice good temps to try some of the harder northeast lines.

Took me way to long to figure this one out, despite watching multiple videos as I was sitting under the boulder. Once I finally unlocked all the moves I sent next go. Felt like I was learning to rock climb all over again. Tried Crouching Dragon which felt hard, my anti-style and pure power which I don't have. Next day walked out to Even Lovely, only to find it wet, however this bitch is CURSED. Like the worse curse at the Gunks. Art of Nothing has the smooth rock but wasn't up for a crimp fest. Was psyched on the visual of Jabhoo, only to find it as a dabby POS with cool holds. And quite the AAC campground scene. Parked between the sprinter vans.

Fuck me sideways, another successful strike mission. Watched the water all week as it somehow rose twice on the meadow despite relatively short bursts of rain, then the slow drop after. Too much anxiety as I was unsure if it would be low enough to access this boulder. So psyched it required minimal landing working to cover the small stream underneath. More improbable boulders sitting smack in the middle of the Meadow River. One hard start move into jugs followed by a lovely compression sequence. Spectacular quality rock, consistent climbing, an amazing setting. This is what I climb for and why I moved to the area.

Fuckkkkkkk, saw the wall of rain approaching as I pulled on and went for it anyway. Couldn't let the last couple of hours of landing work (moving rocks) and scrubbing go to waste. Who knows when it would be climbable again? Rad iron pocket perfectly fits one hand, stacked to start, hard first move followed by easier climbing and one more big pull. Got in a stance before the final small mantle just before the boulder was completely soaked and had to pull out the last move totally wet. Worth it. A couple more mega's in this area, a cool looking slab to it's left and a possible bounty worthy line?

Felt hard. 3rd day, 1st day was end of session, 2nd day was wayyyy to hot, 3rd day 415am wake-up call and what was intended to be a surgical strike ended up with me reworking the entire problem. Barely felt like I established control of the start holds before making the 1st move. Tried to repeat but had 1 decent go then a total breakdown and couldn't do the 1st move. Better temps at 6a made a big difference but would still benefit from colder nights and temps. Maybe the most slippery problem I've ever climbed. It's really a crouch start/low start, no way I can see to start sitting and reach the right hand starting hold.

Felt rather harder than V2, but everything felt hard AF in the heat today. Conquistador has cool moves but ends up being a good amount of choss with endlessly exfoliating smears. Solar Power Sit has the most awkward first move; looks are not everything and IMO does not deserve full stars, maybe 3/4. Tuolumne is overrated IMO, but guess I should try it out when it's not so hot. Missing Nuttall hardcore right now.

Well fuck me sideways. Eyed these blocks from the shore back when my parents were visiting earlier this spring, made a mental note to return. Summer drought conditions make the meadow my favorite place to be, wading from shore to shore scouting boulders. There is NO reason this boulder should have amazing lines underneath it. Seemingly precariously perched, however survived the 2016 (?) flood so hopefully here for good. 88 degree highs, but shaded and water to cool off kept the psych alive. 2x for good measure. I think there will be a line out the left side but will have to return! Blackberries, wine berries, blue berries, bear berry poop.

Fantastic compression rig that feels like I'm back on (very high quality) granite. First send with the new Send knee pad! Complete with a punt. The boat is beautiful. Snuck one last gem in before the summer heat? This face may have more potential but will be both hard hard and committing. The face on around the side also has my interest piqued. Maybe hard for the grade?

Incredibly narrow time window, somewhat self-inflicted, before work. This wall seeps and drips like the dickens but got a cool day with low humidity and had (mostly) dry holds. Chris and Alex randomly showed up (Chris made me poop my pants when he came around the corner as I was cleaning the topout), and of course they shared their skepticism and concern about me climbing this to to the top solo. Punted after traversing before the crack for the top, got pumped, wasn't sure I could repeat, got back there and scared myself from pump but pulled her out. Can't believe this sat undone. Low end 9, hard 8, somewhere in there. Hard hard to the right, long traverse pump fest starting to the left. Always more to be done. This one felt good.

Beautiful. Near continuous lip from sitting to 12+ feet. 3 days, 3 full sessions. Possibly the longest I've taken on any major project to settle on beta, everything the 1st day felt about the same. -Nearly- had it sorted on day 2 but couldn't link the 1st two moves into the rest. Come April 1st, low 30s after a day of heavy rain and I managed to swing her after an early morning wake up call. Water levels slowly creeping up the side of the boulder, landing was under by the afternoon. Missed the video on the 1st send, felt heartbroken and managed to eek it out a 2nd time a couple goes later. Most thin my skin has been in a long time! Feels hard 10 or maybe 11, difficult to grade because obviously friction dependent (although maybe less so than slopers would suggest). Barely sent the 1st time around, still struggled on the last big move off the lip on the 2nd send too. Looking forward to repeat attempts on this one!

The traverse in from the start of Davey Jones' Locker. Major disappointment when the water came up 55 that's FIFTY FIVE FEET in 3 days including dropping some large drift wood under this boulder. Thought my window of opportunity was snatched from me by the 2+ inches of rain and I'd have to wait til fall. I guess it gave me the boost I needed when they reneged and started to drop the water back down ... rolled out that door at 8a on a sunny but cold Sunday after a brutal 3 day work stretch, and STILL didn't beat the sun which popped around the trees around 0930, furthering my anxiety of quickly abating send conditions. A few goes, each slightly better than the previous, a punt and finally the send burn. Haven't fought this hard at the end of a line for a long time, thought I was going to drop every move. The grade is hard for me on this one, hard v8 into hard v8 but with 12 moves to the 15ish moves to the "jug" the power endurance factor seems to bump it a grade for me. Not a proud line but in the sweet spot of difficulty. Bashed the back of my thumb trying to pull my dragon off while standing on top post send. And, acquired a left radial collateral ligament injury ... worth it? 2.5 sessions of effort. Sent the middle start on 2/25/21: Barndori chicken. Sorted the sit moves but way too hot in the sun to attempt further. Gonna be hard to link!

Epic on this one. Took a long time to sort the beta on day one, then pumped out post crux x2. Came back, fired her 1st go only for Caleb to break off the crux foot. Took several more goes to repeat with the inferior, slightly closer foot -- if this one breaks the problem might be done for. Harder than anticipated!

Fern Creek Boulders
YES! Roper had tried the bottom moves yearsssss ago but I dismissed it at the time as both silly and too hard. Since then, it lingered as a side note in the back of my mind, as the original has always been my all time favorite boulder. Half the holds seem to be facing the wrong direction, on an at-first-glance impossibly steep angle, yet the trickery makes it work. It never seemed to be the right time: how long does the slot take to stop seeping? When am I up for the hike? Am I in good enough shape? Pads? Came out with Kory, Jeremy x2 and Chill but only had enough energy to suss the rad bottom sequence. While not a tight weather window in general, was my last day off before a string of nights that would end in more precipitation. So. Fucking. Good. It now feels complete and is unquestionably my all time favorite with a proper sit start, incredible sequence all by itself and a brilliant block. I abhor slash grades but probably is legit 10/11, will give it 8A until someone gives it the downgrade ;-)
Send of the original on 2015-5-3: This problem is outstanding. Fantastic movement with crazy double toe-cam drop knees, amazing holds, immaculate stone and the only line on the boulder in a beautiful setting. Props to Roper on a stellar FA. The sit moves obviously go and will add some pump factor. Somewhere in the hard 9 soft 10 range. Gotta find the names of the problem in the corridor and the white face lines!

The unexpected continues. Had glanced at this face nearly every time I've been up here, figured the v2 face wasn't worth the funk landing and had likely already been climbed. Kory asked about it today prompting me to go peek my head under the back of the roof, only to find a magical mini-flake hold that makes the whole problem work. Had to rearrange a few rocks under the start to pretend I leveled out the landing, then called Chill and Rush over for some pads ... only to to get swiped! A worthy addition to Fern Creek. Please nobody break their neck. Hard 7? Powerful move to release the feet from the toe hooks.

Under the Radar
8A
Boulder
at
Fern Creek Boulders
Whooo! 4 full days of work on this baddy. 1st day sorted the moves half on a rope, 2nd day refined some foot beta and climbed it in 2 overlapping pieces but fell a couple times going for the far right crimp, 3rd day was a known gamble without enough time to recover from day 2 and sure enough ran out of skin and energy after my 1st go as a high point. A long work stretch and frustrating weather (holy hell it's been so much snow and rain) kept me from revisiting for about 2 weeks, and barely sneaking it in the weather window with the rain having already soaked the top out as I was sending. Feels like solid V11 for me, I could not manage the original beta, I think mostly because of reach, and had to figure a completely new, wacked sequence with a GIANT cross over mid climb. 5 star climbing but a 1 star line due to it being a contrivance off F5. I think the morpho plays heavy here although would love to see some other folks try it out, unlikely given it's impure nature. Still worthy for me needs!

Wonka Cave Boulders
Scouted this a few years back but never wanted to commit to the long walk, not knowing how quickly this dries, what conditions I'd need or how hard it was. Finally pulled the trigger! Had a horrible punt 4 days ago off the ledge with the topout dirty, with an awkward fall. Messed up my knee and couldn't sleep due to the pain that night, thinking I was out for quite a while -- but miracles happen and 2 days later it felt substantially better. Was still a risk going out today with the snow melting, and sure enough water was dripping down the boulder but conveniently between the holds, nothing I used was even the least bit damp. My punt ends up to have been for the best, as I popped off the crucial left foot while warming up. Now maybe 1/4 to 1/2 grade harder. Powerful roof moves leads to a compression mid section with delicate finish. Full value, only detractor is the choss rock at the bottom. Some more mega lines in this cluster that need (more) love! Felt just a bit easier that Scuttle, definitely harder than Golden. Will be back with some heavy equipment!

Had eyed this face every time I walked past the boulder but never had the vision to try any of the lines until this past year. While the aesthetics fall a bit shy of the Algorithmic face, the climbing is still amazing. One of the longest single day onslaughts of a boulder to date, about 6 hours from start of landing smoothing and topout scrubbing to the send. 3 hours with bad beta, first I unlocked the crux sequence thanks to my newly acquired ascender, then realized I was doing 2 extra hand movements at the bottom. Was quite tired by the time of the send and had destroyed my skin! I think V9 although difficult for me to grade given hours of both bad beta but also of wiring some of the moves. Definitely needs more love!

Line to the left around the corner from Hideaway. Had looked at this thing several times and always underwhelmed, although often wet and that gross loose block down at that start. Was 95% dry today and decided it was time to rip off the loose choss hold and make her happen. Thought she would be harder on previous scouts but the feet are just too good. I think FA? Would be a 3+*** line except that there are a couple perma-sand holds, it stays wet most of the time and the topout is weird with the tree and rhodos. Left the rhodos over the topout -- you can get in a stance then just grab the tree and sit in the notch while you contemplate your existence. Named from lyrics off the Kiesza song "Hideaway". Max with a quick 3rd day on send of Hideaway! Was sufficiently climb-able on the 4th dry day after a solid rain.

The heavy hitters keep on coming. Another insane rig just sitting there asking for love. Eric Jerome let me know of it's existence and takes credit for the fun name. Heady solo, but made it that much more full value. Some absurdly fine rock, a couple small feet that look like they want to explode but despite my best efforts will not. Feels like a single v8/9 move into another solid v9. Soft 11? Perhaps more my style than any hard boulder to date at the New. Triple tape over the right pointer for that wicked point. Too bad I ripped off the hold to the problem around to the right. Holy shit Power Stretcher is hard.

Tahoe - Erratica
3 full sessions to put this amazing phallic block down. 1st was 2 days after arrival at elevation, did all the moves but not very close. 2nd day with a full value 3.5 hour session, refined the heel hook beta around the right side but not until it was too late for a send. Also with a legit punt, left hand up on the lip but couldn't keep the tension on the left heel. 3rd session I felt WAY better warming up, repeated the moves in 30 minutes and hit the last right hand a few times but couldn't hold it. Queue further beta sussing to find I was holding the last right hand too far back ... another punt whiffing it after bringing up the left hand.
Psyched to send but extraordinarily frustrated with my poorly managed process on the 3rd day, feeling amazing but still not having the beta dialed, prolonging my efforts and hampering those later on Secret Weapon. Always a learning process; this was certainly an uphill battle. Likely entry level for the grade if not a 10, felt maybe even easier than Bubba Lotep when I finally had it on lock.

Had eyed this up for years, especially after McNeil got the FA in Nov 2017. A couple days of work in the fall/early winter were enough for me to suss most of the beta but didn't feel at all close. After building up power endurance through the last couple of months I felt potentially ready. On day 3, a heartbreaking punt left me with a split tip and small flapper, no energy for further attempts. The weather this season has been inSANE and another perfect weather day presented itself the 2nd week of May. Another couple falls on the crux move and I switched the beta utilizing the left toe and knee scum into a left heel, polishing her off the following attempt. 4 days total. With the toe and knee scum this felt hard V11, with the heel hook a bit easier, probably mid range, slightly easier than Dad Bod. This and Woodsdawg (aka Deep Fried) are outrageous -- two world class lines sitting alone, tucked side by side randomly in the woods. The topper to my best spring season, although at the cost of at least 1 finger injury (not from this problem specifically).

This bloc is INSANE (especially for KY). Great find by Sandmann, and so so SO appreciate him sharing these gems with me. From the low-low, the FA from this spot, although only adds 2 moves into the original. Used quite different beta than Sandmann, some unusual drop-down moves to set up for heading left. I'm climbing well right now, but seems like upper end V9? Certainly coulda been 10 with the original beta.

Full value. Same start as Guerrilla, but bust right after the 4th move and climb alllllll the way up the prow. A definite mega line. 20 moves to the jug?! Good thing I'm in power endurance shape. 1st go after figuring out the individual moves, glad I didn't punt on the last crimp seem horizontal. At least a hard hard 9, could be 10 although the difficult moves are at the beginning and the rest is all pump.

I was highly skeptical of this one when Marley first told me about it. Certainly not the obvious start to Hotep, and am not a fan of pockets in general. Tried the moves for about 1.5 hours a month or so ago on a rainy day after failing on the crux move of Abu. Enjoyed the moves more than expected. The first move is ass-draggy, but the 2nd and transition into the original is awesomely powerful and body tension dependent -- satisfying to climb.
Beautiful snow the night before peaked our interest in roofs (although the snow melted and lots was probably climbable). Another beautiful day under this cave. Lisa with a quick send of Ruth's roof, left me to this beast. Had a semi-punt on the iron cross move, then couldn't make it back there. The 1st move was low percentage until by accident my right foot pressed an edge underneath. Once I realized this right foot beta the 1st move became WAY easier and gave me hope. I still had no real expectations of sending on the last hour of the trip, but rested for one last go (had to leave at 6p) and somehow scraped my way to the end. Almost dropped the exit after the iron cross.
Feels similar but maybe one notch easier than the Ark, more overall power but less fingery. 11.1 perhaps? 1 grade harder than original.
This trip was my most productive ever. The stars seemed to have aligned for once, excellent conditions at the New (although still lots of rain/snow but drying quickly) with cool temps for April, healthy skin, healthy fingers, at the right point in my un-regimented training cycle. Good strategy still let me finish up climbs despite several punts. This fall is gonna be LIT.

Summersville Dam Boulders
What a line. Perfect rock, amazing crimps, clear sit start, amazing progression of moves that increase in difficulty with each move until a definitive, but not too anomalously hard crux, wih one further hard move, then solid mantle topout. Going to jump into my top 10 list at the New. Marley locked her in, had the vision for the solid (and obvious in retrospect) sit-start. Tried this within my first few years out at the New but could not do the crux move. Never even felt close. Was able to nail it within a few tries the same day I finished Rose Water, but had a heartbreaking punt, sticking the crux but not able to match after. Came back in essentially perfect conditions (mid 40s, post-rain) and nailed it 2nd try from the start.
Third ascent? Hodder seems to have sent from 3 relatively easy moves in, wouldn't discredit since he still thought it was a project. I couldn't do the crux move in isolation back several years ago when I was climbing solid 10, although did go relatively quick this year. I think this was more reflective of the stars aligning than the grade, likely lower end 11 but not entry -- say 11.2 or .3.
Worked a bit on the contrivance right variation, close-ish to the crux move but never stuck it despite feeling perfectly warmed up and excellent conditions. Likely solid v12 that way, although again a contrivance. Variation could be the hardest line on the boulder.

2nd? Real good. Never even envisioned this line when working on The Ark (when it was a project). Seems to fit my 5'10'' wingspan just right, maybe a smidge extra height would help but too much and the match on the horizontal will be harder, too little and making the spans is gonna be a mega-difficult (or impossible). 1st day on it was in the 60s and boulder was condensing, 2nd go from start on day 2. Mega-punt on The Ark, but holy shit is it good. Great vision Marley!

4th ascent (after Woods, Southward, Whitfield)? A worthy, full-value alternate exit to MOM and don't mind spending days at this boulder. Hard for me, guessing solid, power-endurance V11. V9 entry to the "jug" on MOM followed by 6 or 7 move V9 exit crux. Possibly the hardest moves on slopers I've done to date although similar in difficulty to Hideaway. My 5th day on this this season, 3rd full fledged effort day. Was here about a week before the send when it was low 60s and couldn't do that sloper moves by themselves, the most friction dependent boulder I've experienced yet at the New. Still had a solid punt the go before, matching the lip and running out of beta and juice, thought I may not have enough energy to make it back up there. Surprised I can hold those slopes with feet cutting. Means a lot to me, was uncertain I would ever have the power-endurance to line this one up, opens the door to other similarly difficult lines. Lisa with the encouragement!

Consolation prize today with still not being able to latch the 1st move on Angel Eye. Punted once after the big move. Feeling strong on power endurance lines still. Few more to pull out before the end of this season? Still need to do the variation from Father Figure start! Original Ascent (before the break) on 2017-10-1: Felt reasonable in reasonable temps, fun 1 mover with a heady but not difficult topout. That block better not cut loose. Felt V9, although lots of tries in horrible conditions.

Ali Bubba and the 40 Thieves

Boulder
at
Short Creek Boulders
Arguably the MEGA line in the cave. Enjoyable progression of movement, starting with a dyno-esque move to a jug, through the steady, controlled movement of Ali Bubba, to the core-intensive, power driven 40 thieves. Inadvertently have spent more days on this than any other line ever, having hidden out in this roof during many a rainy or snowy day. Did not like 40 thieves til I locked down the toe hook beta a couple days before the send, however that seemed to unlock the entire line as a possibility. Day before the send it condensed like milk, cool temps and a strong wind overnight and decided to gamble a great weather day in the roof. Surprisingly pleasant underneath here on a sunny day. Murdered my left pinky while warming up. After a quick fumble as my 1st attempt from the ground on send day, fired it next go from the start. Didn't think I had the power endurance for a line like this. Not V12 (David and Goliath felt harder, this may be a notch above Spinal). Think this is the 4th? (Southward, Barth and Grupper?).

What a roof! Huge thanks to Sandmann and Ayala (sp?) for putting in the leg work to find this area, make it accessible, clean the tops and bottoms. DIrect variation to Crystal Man, a semi-contrivance, although after you do one move you're committed to the hard end sequence. Was able to put away quickly though I think that was less reflective on the grade and more so on perfect sun-shining conditions, post-nap psych and good prep. Probably low end 10, but will need some confirmation on this one. Lots of other beauties to develop in the area!

Hardest so far at Foxtown? Crux move that is my anti-style, although really the 3 moves up to/before the lip are all very hard and felt low percentage. Almost punted matching the lip. Feels solid for the grade. 2.5 sessions.

A definite nemesis rig finally put to rest. Tried this a handful of tired days over the years and could never figure out a sequence that worked for me. Thought I finally figured out the best beta when working it with Max (again, 2nd day on) ... came to it fresh and scrapped that beta for Max's. Covered the hold around the lip with the carpet bonded foam as it drizzled/rained on and off for hours. Still felt low percentage sticking over the lip. Low in the grade ...

One of the all time best, anywhere. This one means a LOT! Such a proud fa by Spruil without the landing as it is currently, and especially difficult, with every attempt ground up. Crazy weather window, 3 straight days of forecasted rain ... sun came out for 5 hours Sunday afternoon, enough to dry up the block. 3rd day on it, serious projecting each time. Still felt hard even on the send go, does feel like solid 10 with my beta, however I could see 9 if someone is particularly good at jumping. Got scared on the top out, never went up there to chalk it up and didn't rehearse the moves on a rope like the prior to visits. So many classics down, but so so many more to go!

Enjoy the small, subtle crimps with decent feet, a definite rarity at the New (at least on boulders). Along a similar line to Nerds and Charizard. Technically 1st ascent from the sit, although they don't add a whole lot in difficulty. I suspect solid 9 and very specific, if you're not too tall/big and are comfortable on crimps you will feel right at home. Certainly far easier than say, Judah. 3rd try (from start or otherwise) for the original, next go after from the sit, with same start holds as Grey Matter. A little easier/more straight forward than Grey Bush. I think it was just that hot when the FAs were done, cuz so much else of Marley's is stout/ solidly graded.

Fantastic rock and movement. Unusual for the New in that it's not huge moves on relatively small holds. Third day over a few years, took another full effort session to put it away. Originally thought this was a solid 11 but found some clutch beta with an extra 2 finger undercling that changed up the foot sequence and allowed me to clinch the send. Was also going a bit too high in the right hand slot crimp. Still suspect maybe low end 11?

Left arete of the boulder. Felt very insecure with the left foot when standing the right up onto the face of the boulder. Another quality bloc found by Micah. Took a longggg time to settle into the low moves and figure out the last move onto the face but sent in only a couple tries after, amount of effort would suggest 9 but could be an 8. Excellent way to cap the season (although it may continue?!)

The novel: A Klinger vision from the start; clearly MEGA. Had been eyeing this for 3(?) years now, always marred by the chunk of rock lying under the boulder. An epic come-along sess and a month or so of patients. The full package, flowy, friendly compression movement to a shouldery, tension crux with a hairy mantle. Really damn spectacular. Not quite as hard as I imagined, but a good compliment to Loaded Biscuit. Among the best anywhere.

FA, although Marley did the traverse through these moves, topout is not hard but full value. I'm in love with the brown patina. Need to get back to try the left arete; bounty worth crimp line? Felt 8/9 but will sandbag until a consensus upgrade.

Fuck this thing is full value. A massive boulder blessed with a sloped landing to follow it's steepness although still with a bit of spice through the crux. Excellent progression with a flowing sequence up to the crux, powerful and tensiony crux with a few more intense moves to the finish. I tried very hard for the send, if someone told me it was a 10 I wouldn't have questioned, much less 8; however, it may be the morpho causing this (But Gus crushed?!). Between this, Spiritual Medicine and other stunners, Cox has sure left his mark. Day 2. Lisa and shrooms :-)

Hard AF for me, but I suck at jumping. Never thought I'd get back to this thing with psych and enough pads for the jumbled landing. Nearly a last-go-best-go scenario, no food, jittery from caffeine. Mind trickery moving the tick mark and barely latched. Lisa is the MVP for the weekend, patient with all of the climbing, spotting, encouragement. Project to the left looks burl.

Real good. Kinda a flash FA although really just added the two sit moves to an established higher start. Starts right hand in the iron crimp with the point on the left of the hold and left hand on flat edge just beside (although Brian Arcement later with the alternate right undercling beta), tried to avoid over-contriving the sit start, felt comfy at this height. What a gorgeous wall, project to the right got me PSYCHED!

Several thoughts: 1st straight up ascent I think as it has been seemingly eternally wet? Finished cleaning off the jugs below the lip, has to make it easier by 1/2 a grade compared with out left variation, possibly hard V8, although still was a fight to the end for me and will take 9 for now. Couldn't do the left hand v-shaped-crimp with right match, so had to do 2 extra hand movements to match, made it possible for me. Couldn't finish off New Bae, which may come back to haunt me. Marley has some legit vision, seeing the lines between the lines. Ahhh to be back at the New after 2 months of horrid conditions!

Left hand to 3 finger slot with point on left side of hold, right hand just out from this, swing your feet, right hand cross over move again to thin crimp, match, couple more moves to obvious point straight out from the start.

Pretty quick today, surprise send at the end of the warm up, repeated a few tries later for the camera. Beautiful boulder with unusual climbing, I don't personally like the climbing all that much, probably because it feels so difficult to me! 4/5 of the Chatty area all-time list! 3/4 stars for me.

Welp, went back and added in an extra 2 moves from the logical, however terrifying start. In my bubble of light during the night session, didn't feel too scary, however one foot slip on the start move and you'll be headed down the cliff. Original start does feel incomplete, although makes sense for the fear factor. Hard 10 from this start? First ascent from this hold I believe. As well, tried Tim Roses' left exit and holy SHIT it is balls hard.
Original comments from 2018-11-27: Funky sequence, weirdly techy. Marley beasted this thing, but I def had to find a variety of trickery to get it done. Started with right hand on best spot of the seam and left scrunched in just beside, seemed legit but saved me a move from Rose's original beta. Sorta two lines, will have to come back for the left (and original) variation!

Well, shit. 5-6 days of effort, 2 this year with D&G as the primary goal of the day. Even the send burn felt hard and like I could drop the last couple of moves, especially with a punt going for the right hand "jug" the go before. I like the progression -- tic-tack moves on small holds to a solid crux mid roof to the best hold, a mini rest, then 3 serious tension moves to the lip. My hardest to date (even if the grade doesn't match)? Perfect conditions, well rested, good skin and still a fight! Will be very curious to see the consensus on this, although I suspect upper end 11? Certainly not a 9. Harder than Spinal although near identical number of hand movements. Likely the 2nd ... My 600th logged ascent!

Don't think this thing has had any sending love in many years. 3rd ascent perhaps? Felt quite difficult with the beta I figured out, seems that if I had another couple inches I'd have another less ridiculous alternative sequence. Perhaps nigh impossible if you don't have at least 5'7'' reach? Scary scary topout.

Thought I would never do this thing. Previously suspected this would take the 12 grade since I couldn't do the crux for the 1st 3 sessions on it; 11 solid however. Maybe 5 days total, 3 serious over the last several years. My favorite cave/roof climb to date, the features and friendliness of the rock are next level. Need me some chipotle honey and sit to Ravenous!

Wow, a dream of 5 years come to fruition. Undoubtedly up there with the best of the New. Delightful, flowy, steadily upward traversing holds across a 50 foot horizontal boulder with a solid exit crux. V7 into V7 with an exit crux making it a hard v9? Can't say I'm used to grading 20 move boulders. Built up the landing quite a bit, although the end is the sketchy part. Really hope more people try this stunner. So many feels! A long name for a long boulder. Single day landing build and projecting onslaught.

Perhaps the opposite end of the aesthetics spectrum compared with the Shield, however maybe a point for the history. A silly contrivance that I wanted to climb so badly. 3rd day this trip after destroying my tip on day 2. 6th or 7th day total trying this over many years. Probably very low end of the grade, especially if you can reach the good low right foot for the 1st move and get the heel to stay for the 2nd. Feel that more lines than ever are possible along with a need to keep getting stronger.

Fuck. Yes. Many thoughts: Feels perfect to be able to nab this in a narrow time window on an insane weather day, leaving 3+ inches of snow in Lexington to arrive at sunshine and upper 40s in Chattanooga. 4th day on it total over mannny years, 2nd day this season . . . 6 or 7 total goes today, warmed up and climbed as efficiently as possible. A mental barrier even if not physically the hardest, nor hard for the grade (quite soft perhaps), but such a stunning line to open the possibility for success on more hard climbs. And the quietest day at LRC, solo style. Amazing.

Crimps. And the first of a final batch of unrepeated problems falls. Suspect my beta differed drastically from the 1st ascent . . . suspect closer to low end V11, falling just under Megamite in difficulty and just above Beauty in the Beatdown. Almost fell going to the jug! Perhaps fitting for my 500th documented boulder.

This line inspired some more pointless musings: 3rd day on this thing, but only 3 goes today in good temps. Felt like a harder v10, feels far easier move to move compared to Megamite, just happens to have the crux moves 10 moves in 15 feet up. Great flow and progression, only marred by some sharpness. Scared myself on the topout! Couldn't seal the deal on anything else today. Gonna have to start giving love to the problems that are my anti-style!

Beautiful orange rock that is both surprisingly featured and surprisingly tricky to figure out. Likely V9 although admittedly took a while to fine tune the beta and went in a couple goes after this was locked in. Definitely multiple alternate beta options, not a clean line by any means which does detract from the overall quality. Nutallburg is freakin' loaded. Thanks to Roper and Klinger for taking me out, as always!

Cotton Bottom Boulders
This boulder is amazingly complex for such a short distance, crazy how you have to do so many moves that are all more-or-less forced. Serious props to Scurfield for figuring it out. Not a mega-classic by NRG standards but certainly has its place. 3 total days to put it down, punted off the last move twice on day 2 and again once on day 3. Didn't think I was gonna pull it off, been a while since I was this beat up by a boulder. Certainly a step above anything else I've done at the New and deserving of the 11 I suspect. Edit 2023Feb2 -- consensus seems to think this is v10, although I still think it's a height thing. Guess I'll go along with the crowd.

Lots of thoughts arose from this problem. First off, great vision, not sure I would have noticed this clean line sitting tucked next to the mega- project. Pretty sure there is a low start, right hand on left facing gaston/crimp, left hand on slopey pinch . . . or a low-low start down and left. Both would be hard and perhaps lower the quality of the original. And speaking of projects, the dreamcatcher line looks like it should go and not even be that hard! Need to get a good crew out there one day and have it padded up. In regards to the grade, was able to do Whilhelm 2nd try after trying with a higher right foot, managed to do it 2x back to back. After getting a good spanking on M.O.M., I suspect this is closer to an 8 than a 10. Time will tell. 2nd?

Redemption. Slow repeat of the individual moves after a 3 year hiatus and then 2 quick tries from the start sealed the deal. Progress! So glad Lisa came out on this snow-venturous day. Epic hike in . . . had to carry the not so small puppy across the talus field.

*Asterisk on this one. Spotter dab on my foot as it was swinging out as I stuck the move to the finish jug. As such, I didn't technically send, but I don't have enough time to care. Would definitely be on the hard end of 9, but it was damn hot and it took me a bit to settle on beta.

Ridiculous approach in the snow and a personal epic with this boulder. Reworked the moves pretty quickly and tried to flip the switch for the send burn but one crimp got wet for the next hour as the tiny bit of ice/snow I hadn't cleaned off the boulder melted. Final last ditch effort after it dried up sealed the deal! Great problem, only negative is the dab factor.

Might have been the sketchiest topout of my life, given the height of this boulder. Jumped off left hand in a seam crimp at ~6 feet up right to the sharp crimp to start. Not the best of the New, but still fun! 2 or 3 goes after finally figuring out the beta, but a good bit of working in total.

Long, physical boulder! A lot of fun to climb and try hard on. Had to fight for this one. A shame the crimp to come out of the roof is so wet . . . ended up not using it at all after ass-planting off of it. Also didn't use the oval heuco at the start for a hand, this may make the start easier. Could be 5 stars if the rock was pristine.

Project that climbs into Spider V4. Started R hand on slightly left facing undercling and L hand on small blocky pinch with a small notch in the bottom. Would be okay to start with L hand on larger flat hold one further out left. Managed to get pretty good conditions once the sun went behind the wall. Crimp was mostly dry. Topped this shit out into a sea of poison ivy and thorns. Hard 10. Dunno if this warrants the 11 grade.

The phallus start hold broke off. Now enables a (very stretched out) sit start off a flat left hand undercling and a right 2 pad sidepull, first move right hand onto a large flat hold then a desperate move left to the jug. Rest of the problem climbs the same. Harder now cuz of the start. Solid V7+. Previously sent on 3/15/14: Repeat, although the loose block in the start fell out. Changes up the beta a bit. Started matched on the obvious phallic block and later used it for a toe hook which you couldn't do before.

This only took me 3 quick tries, but I used completely different beta than what has previously been done. Started right hand in sloper/pinch, left in a very shallow 2 finger pocket and crossed up left to slot. Previous beta was to jump crazy like to the good right hand pocket, which certainly seems like V9+. I think it may be a morpho thing, I'm able to scrunch in there.

Epitome of a brilliant crimp rig. Still can't flash (soft) V9, so close!! Dabbed on the finish move on 2nd go and resent with conviction on the 3rd. Gotta say these are some really lovely crimps. Didn't exit early, and I think this may be a 4+ star line if it didn't have that arete so close. I suppose it could be an 8, I haven't climbed enuf at the New to know yet.

Project to the right of Lapse of Reason. Went down in about an hour, and after effectively sending 3 times as I kept grabbing holds above the crux sequence that were breaking. v8.8? The good crimp you cross back to with your right hand on the edge of the mini roof has questionable integrity; be careful up there! The rest of the holds feel solid.

The seam project. Looks cool, reportedly did not climb as well. Ends up it is a big jump from the seam to a sloper on the face and some really wack but cool beta to finish her off. Felt a lot easier to me than Turtles in Time, but it is also a less friction dependent line. Also, please, PLEASE be careful and try and climb this only when it is mostly/totally dry, as the start holds have a tendency to be wet which will cause it to crumble over time.

There is taller person beta that cuts out a few moves but felt super stretched to me, this might make it easier, not sure. Really fun despite it's lowball start and lack of topout.

I really enjoyed the subtlety of the 2nd move on this one. Slowly figured out the body position and where to stand on the right foot and finally did the 2nd move and sent. Got a nice blood blister on the ring finger tip in the finger lock.

Pink Wall Proj. Worked out the moves the previous trip when I was pretty worked, sent in 12 goes this time, falling 11 times on the crux move at the top. Grade is my gut feeling. Two of the holds were pre-emptively glued (which I feel was a reasonable decision) and it's a drop-off, so loses some points there, but great crimp line with obvious start and finish jugs. Pretty straight forward pulling but a little toe-hook action makes the entry a lot more casual. Thanks to C Grosh and D Wise for showing me the line!!

Wowowowow. One of the coolest compression lines EVAR!!! Started left hand 2 finger pocket, right hand in best low dish on right side of arete. Seems like the most logical start. The pockets further down right are grimy as shit. Attempted the "variation" starting matched on the undercling. Holy F*$% power!
Edit 11/4/2012: After having more thoughts about this, although I climbed what I feel is satisfactory for myself, I'd still like to start lower, perhaps between the Variation start and the one I've done.

Hard 8. One of the more physical boulders I've climbed. A classic for Chippewa Creek. Is always a little slimey, but I guess that just adds to the challenge. 2nd day on it, definitely way drier this time, barely pulled it out. Would be less of a battle with a little more height.

The Gem Mantle
7B+
Boulder
at
Brecksville
I am not sure what this line actually is graded, or what the name is. V8 seemed appropriate to me, although it is a very technical, specific move off of pretty miserable holds and a sketchy heel. Ballsy going for the lip after flipping the left hand. Gonna have to put in some work on the real Gem next after my finger is finished healing up! Also, unlikely this is V5, I assume that grade applies to the arete-specific variation.
Edit 11/4/2012: I should probably repeat this from the lower, nasty start one of these days.
Edit 11/18/2012: Final conclusion is that this a V5/8. There is much easier beta IF you're tall enough, although that method, bumping left hand all the way to the arete is less cool. ;-) Also, the sit start is really nasty at the moment as the bottom of the boulder is quite manky . . . I have little interest in repeating from here.

Great technical and fun climb, despite looking weird (and climbing a bit funky too). Ironic that I made it to the slot 2nd try (today) but had to be tired out 2 hours later to only manage 2 fingers in the slot, sink the fingers in and send. Soft 11?. Heel hook beta out left.

Hard (for 10). Definitely did not feel difficult today, friction was PERFECT. Has very cool movement for rock that doesn't look the prettiest. I am not sure why people call this an 'eliminate' problem, as it is not. Definitely just a distinct line from that which starts over further right and kinda traversing inward. Same hand sequence as Emerson in his olddddd video.

Soft. My favorite HP40 problem. Fell off the topout 4 years ago and sent at the end of the day after a few tries (falling off the last move again once) this go around. It is a gym climbers problem more than most of hp40, but I will admit it is probably on the softer side of V9, but downing it to V8 is a bit extreme. Again, you give it the grade from your 1st send, you can't regrade it after you have done it 100 times. Come on now . . .

My first FA. Gotta edit this (10/23/13) out of retrospect: it climbs really well but is on the same chossy, conglomerate that the whole area has. Two holds were crumbling, the start foot (less of an issue, a few grains of sand won't be missed) and the crux right hand crimp hold. If that right hand degrades much more it may become unclimbable. Before I said, "Absolutely incredible line down in the creek. Powerful crimp sequence to pockets and a huge throw off a tiny crimp/pinch. Fan-freakin' tastic. Fell off the topout a few weeks earlier. Slightly hesitant to give the V10 grade but given my struggle with it despite it being my style, and discussion with other climbers, I stand firmly behind the evaluation. The crux crimp and starting foot are potentially a bit crumbly."

Proud line. Very pretty. Would be the hardest v7 I've done if it's really 7a+. Where does brotherhood start?
Edit: I have repeated a couple times since. I was using ridiculous beta before. Still a hard V7, but I see the grade now.
