rtm wrote:Unfortunately State Park policy dictates that only official trails may be marked. Getting a trail "officially" approved requires impact studies, submittal, and then approval from high upDoes that include classifying it as a re-vegetation effort? I can see how the prior (marking trails) could be taken in the wrong context, but a re-vegetation effort has an obvious positive, nature-friendly vibe to it (even though it's essentially the same result).

Heretic, I dont remember that first mantle problem feeling like a v5... from the sit. we sat started it since we first climbed there and didnt seem to add to the difficulty much. The mantle was the biggest issue with that one imo. not spraying, just my honest assessment....

"I was wondering what the hec was going on!? I kinda did something up and to the left, a bit shorter where I went to the slopers, then a reach high left w/ a heel hook to a good edge, then up left, off'ing the juggy stuff to the right. I thought THIS problem/sequence was more a V2 than the other one~ Interesting...I'll go for it again next time =^("

Right across the creek from the "backpackers" camp are a hand full of big boys. In fact, all along the southern end of the campground are piles and piles of granite. WP is a beautiful place and well worth exploring with or without a crash pad. Good way to acclimate too. Oh yeah, you gotta try the pancake at the WP store, bring a friend.davi.

@BenClimbing - W.r.t. The Glass Boulder, what's the difference between the Unknown Right and the other Unknown problem? I know what flake you're talking about above the cave, but going straight up or slightly left into Glass Indirect isn't any more difficult than pick-and-choosing what jugs you want to top out on.In addition to that, there is an unknown problem to the very right of the boulder that starts on two incut crimps and deadpoints to a sloper, roughly V4/V5 FA D.

Internet Predator, thanks for the good review - I'm always interested in new routes/versions etc. Anyone can PM me.I like Stoney Point for the following reasons:1) Being a father of 2 young uns I can still get out a few hours a week and boulder - it doesn't take a road trip.2) I met my wife at Stoney Point3) I met most of my local best friends there too.
