Thanks Alan, I appreciate the clarity. I was working on two lines and hope to return if they haven't been done. Even if they have, it would be a pleasure to return and climb all the same. Blacks is beautiful. Well, second to da tree. (image)

The sit is harder than it looks. The holds are nice, and so it seems reasonable. I've tried it, and what I found is the body position is awkward at best. Best of luck to you.

Tattvamasi added a new problem: White Angel

Stats: v11,
Description
Probably the Pile Up's traverse. But who knows? Either way Laura griffith claimed the FA a few years back. Starts on Pile driver jug and traverses to the right (low holds) into sledgehammer. I am listing her original rating for this. Consensus (based on 8a sends) places it more on the hard V9-soft V10 range. Anyone who has sent it relatively recently (past two years or so, I hear that about three - four years ago there was significant hold breakage) should chime in on the matter.

"OK, so ignore what i said before- i deleted the post.

I went to steele today and sent it.

Beta is as follows, at second rail, with both hands on rail, kick left foot up onto rectangular block on the far left of the seam/ledge. Rock onto it with your right hand pulling down hard on the sloper, reach up and high with the left, either to the first crimp at the obvious flake, or the higher one about 8 inches up and to the right of it, foot hand match with your right side. Then up... "

Rtm posted in the forum star ratings and their purpose?
I thought Alan was a star?When I visit an area that I am unfamiliar with, I find quality ratings to be useful. Not that I disregard low/no star climbs, but in hopes of seeing/climbing on the better of what an area has to offer, I do use stars to help me plan my limited time. Once at a location though, I visually inspect the climbs for myself and climb whatever looks good. I find that, for the most part, I do agree with star ratings in most guides, maybe about 75% of the time. Enough to trust...

Satyagraha posted in the forum Organic crashpads...
I missed this thread but would still like to chime in. I'm sure nsmonkeygirl that you've already bought a crashpad. Anyways, there are basically only a few types of pad out there. The dominant style is an open cell foam pad, top layer approx. 1 inch closed cell foam, with primarily shoulder straps. This type of pad can not carry too much since the load is on the shoulders. Regarding the foam, the heavier it is, the better it is. That's a bit generalized, but is mostly true. I use a flashed pad...

Sowr posted in the forum Skipping Holds --> New Problem or Variation?
Here's my 10 cents:Eliminates - deliberately not using certain holds, usually the big jugs, etc. - almost always harder.Sit Down Starts (SDS) speak for themselves - almost always harder.Variations - different start or different finish - can be easier or harder.Naming conventions:Legitimate with a different name, but can also be called the same name as the original route with Eliminate, SDS or Var. tagged on the end.New problems or not? This is tricky. Not a new problem if they were spawned...

So if any of ya'll venture up to the dreamers just above Bishop, I forgot my guidebook on the ground somewhere there last Wednesday. If you see and grab it, that would be awesome - although I've heard they got some snow over the last weekend so it might be more of a slushy than a guidebook. Thanks crew and happy sendin.

Don't you gotta guide book fool? hahaPumping is at Cap Rock. Follow Park Blvd past Intersection Rock. Turn Right at the paved road heading toward Keys Point. Cap Rock will be the conglomerations immediately on the left hand side. Parking lot is on the left.There are two major conglomerations, one on your left and one on your right. Follow the obvious trail from the parking lot (starting next to the outhouse) toward the conglomeration on the right, staying on the left fork as it leads you...

Zinja posted in the forum Indian Cove Bouldering
Well I spent most of the weekend guiding for a group of scouts so I didn't get to do quite the development I wanted. I did find a couple of solid pieces of rock. Pixie rock of course has its crazy caveman-like cave traverse. The lip traverse I'd say goes at about V4 or 5 and the low traverse will go at about V8 or 9. In campsite 17 there is an awesome crystally V8 stem problem. I also found one super no-fall slabby high ball on the backside of the main area. I'm going back to JTree this...

Thanks for that info, anyone know who did the FA on the Tomahawk? Anyone know who the Frenchy was in that Vid??Rob - My guess is that it is illegal to climb on that cave line, even though I see no archeological evidence. If climbing there was a problem, I'm sure the NPS would erect a sign stating no climbing allowed.
