"Dude you are the man. I'm going Thursday to put it down. Thanks again."

"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... "

Alan, so arrogance is now one of the 7 saintly strengths? Sweet! If you can you should, and that makes it good. (image) (I think the operative word is confidence... not arrogance, referencing a positive state of mind)on a lighter side, assuming the publishing date is in june as I think you said, does that mean the season is over for new lines? will there be time after the snow melts and before you submit your draft to get anything done?rm

"Not that I'll ever know (sadly), but this thing looks 5 stars to me."

"Of course this pertaining to the hold you don't remember, but there is a crimpy little two finger sidepull just above the far right corner of the second ledge. Do you remember if it was something like this or a hold that you actually pulled down on for that right hand?"

"this starts on the corner to the left of the problem"

"i believe you grab something (i can't remember if it was a crimp or an incut or what) in the right corner of the second ledge, highstep with the left, than reach up around the slope to the left, find something decent, bring right straight up and over and you're done."

"Hey, anybody have beta for topping this thing out? I hit the first dyno 3rd go and am almost finished with the V10 extension but I still have no idea how to finish it from the second ledge..."

yeah, yeah. i should have planned better. anyone got any suggestions or know of anyone with some extra reservations between 30 Jan and 06 Feb. Had been planning on using someone else's reservations but that might not pan out the way I thought. I know that I can book commercial tours witohut reservations, but do those fill up?edit: I guess I should note it's me + 1

"There's no way to add a problem without giving it a grade. This is tricky for projects, but I think it's fine to let someone give it a "guess" grade. When the FA goes down, we can change the original grade it was "guessed" at."

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...

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...

That rig was sick. Definitely would be on the list. Did anyone ever send that thing? Maybe we need to go back.............

holy F$%k, I wrote all that!I got some somewhere, if I ever have more than 5 minutes to dedicate to internet play, I'll get them up!

I usually stay at one of the following:- parents house- sisters house- uncles house- grandmas house- other grandmas houseSo if one is full, there are many other options.Hope this helps!! (image)

You can also search for top problems in Josh here:http://www.westcoastbouldering.com/site/problemsMy search for v7-v10, 3 stars and up, shows these problems:Dark MatterBig Up 20 Cryptic Tips Caveman Pumping Monzonite Dreaming of the MasterHot Rats Y2KMonkeyclawAlexandria (low start) The River NileTips Be Gone Traverse Right2K 3 Honkeys and Some Hip Hop Relic Zen Rock Garden Traverse Sex MagicianDiary of a Dope FiendDoesn't Matter Total Eclipse Xenophobe

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...

That's pretty awesome!!

I'm here for you buddy! Let me know when you need more Depends, RTM has got some extras I hear.

yes, but straighter.

Also, I think it's on meet up dot com or something: http://www.meetup.com/Riverside-Rock-Climbers/These guys tend to do some lead/trad (i think).

my backyard gate opens onto the walking trail that goes up near 9th st...so i go up several days a week for short or long missions. PM me if you wanna go. currently working on bouldering some old TR's that modern pads make very doable.

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. (always make sure your guidebook is the pack when you leave!!)

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...

They've been trying to do this for at least 10 years now. . . . . I thought it had been dropped but I guess not.

Ah man... I changed the timeframe of the poll, and it erased the previous votes! Lame! Please vote again!

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.

I think you happened upon the site and found a bug -- I think I've fixed it. Take a look at the homepage again and let me know if you still see the issues you reported above.

No.

three seperate times at Josh:"So how many nights you going out for?"Yep, they thought I was a backpacker. My reply is "a few hours" (image)

Ive done quite a bit of bouldering there. There is a lot of rock and a lot of projects cause no one climbs there. Due to a lot of prescribed burns down there, some of the rock is crumbly choss. Check it out first. Most of the quality probs are near Roads End parking lot and Zumwalt Meadows parking lot. If you walk up Paradise Valley trail for one mile (maybe less) there is a good group of boulders. If you walk and explore you could find some real gems. Take a brush. Halo V5 is the classic...

No - those at least had pictures. (image)

yup! Its all in the title. we are resetting this week already have some quality problems up and Aron has'nt even shown up yet! pfft! LOL! Check out the site and come check out the Comp!http://www.climbhangar18.com/
