I would love to find out more about Big Bear, particularly Holcomb Valley~

Fletcher cove as far as my memory serves me. went last year. i know pillbox is next to fletcher cove so maybe it overlaps. not really sure. Its this standard sandstone imitation style:http://www.flickr.com/photos/ffrphotos/3934434742/some good problems. nice cuz you dont have to worry about holds wearing down... just toothy.

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).

yea, good guess. That does not look like the SC xeno!

Dooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood! That was friggin rad. You definitely scored some points with that post!What is that thing you are you climbing above?

"That's right. ANOTHER video! Personally, i thought this was a very fun problem."

That would be cool!

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 =^("

"I wouldn't think so really. Think he was just too tired. Getting into the stand from the sit is pretty chill, the business definitely starts afterwards."

"So then the sit does add something?"

"I was there whenever Brady did the stand. He tried afterwards multiple times from the sit but couldn't put it together. Don't think he ever went back. "

"Thanks for that info guys. I wonder why Brady didn't start all the way down if its the more esthetic start plus its easy?"

"Nic said the sit wasn't any harder, just the more obvious place to start. You could have 2 but it makes more sense to just have the sit be the line... just my $.02"

"Should we make a 2nd one for the sit, then? If so, are there grade differences between the two?"

"actually Brady did the stand start and Nic Oklobzija FA'd the sit at the same grade..."

"I'm pretty sure that Ian McIntosh put this problem up."

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. Corso.Anyway could...

Damn...alright I got a few that AREN'T posted on FB...lemme dig those up.(image)

do we have a name for this problem/rating. I've also heard of others FA. I was looking at it last time I was out and it's a pretty sick problem.

PHP? Pimp Hand Pump? (image)

Damnit!!!! Forgot you were there. Oh..yeah you're in the picture.... hahaAlright. I'll post another one tonite!(image)

thanks.Im pretty sure it was by that BIG downed tree that you pass on the way up to emerald city but i dont know for sure cuz i wasnt with him when he put it down. I went up that area twice and couldnt find it. *shrugs*

there is a lot of snow still. . . but its reachable.

Sweet!Also, the audio on your video got removed. (image)

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.

@Hero - Late reply but whatever...thanks for the heads up on some of this stuff. Just got back. Sent hard. Good stuff. Going back in October. (image)
