7C Boulder at Keeney's Boulders
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 ...

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!

8A+ Boulder at Fallen Kingdom
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.

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.

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.

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?

Abysmal Agony
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.

8A+ Boulder at Hominy
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.

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.

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. "

7C+ Boulder at 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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

7C+ Boulder at Pirate's Cove Boulders
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!

8A Boulder at Pirate's Cove Boulders
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!

8A Boulder at 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!

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.

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!

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.

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".

Welcome to the Future
8A+ Boulder at 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.

8A Boulder at Wolf Creek Boulders
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).

8A Boulder at Short Creek Boulders
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.

The Ark
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.

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.

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.

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?).

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!

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.

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!

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!

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.

8A Boulder at 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.

7B+ Boulder at Fern Point Boulders
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?

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.

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.

Lapse of Reason
7C+ Boulder at The Citadel - RRG
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.

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 . . .

7C Boulder at Horse Pens 40
The problem looks cool, the traverse is not that bad and neither is the topout with the beta from Drolet's friend. However, I did not find the crux move all that much fun. I think a lot of other hp40 classics climb MUCH better even if they don't look as cool. Just my thoughts :-)

Sewer Rat
7C+ Boulder at One Horse Gap
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."
