Joe Morgan, Trevor, and I were trying to figure out the best sloper problem in SoCal. Problem was we couldn't remember any real sloper problems period. What do ya'lls think?

Those two are good. Also Darkside of the Moon at Stoney, See You at the Yard Meat at Brickyard, And Zen Rock Garden Traverse at the Underground.

Anything come to mind when you think of Jtree? (other than scary slopey topouts)

Aron, does that arete that you and I did at M Squared off geology tour road count as a sloper problem? the one that has a boulder leaning against it on the left... Also, Right2K (just right of Y2K) is pretty much all small slopers. Pinch Loaf, variations on Tips Begone/Cryptic Tips (small slopers but are usually crimped), the center line up the Meadows Boulder, ElectroGecko 2000 (3 move sloper problem near yardarm).

Yeah! I would say out of that list, the best problem is the one at the m squared boulders. But then again I'm biased as I got the second ascent of it.

dude, that arete is sweet. for the grade, line, rock nature, landing and atmosphere, I'd say it's a worthy problem.

be out there sunday...
