im kinda surprised no one mentioned the top of the second pitch on jungle beat. scratch that, the whole second pitch on jungle beat is just fantastic. i did it last year over the summer, 70 and sunny, not a cloud in the sky. what a climb.

technique. thats all i can say. i have bouldered and rope climbed pretty, not incredibly, hard (v9 and 13b) but i am weak as hell. honestly, before we go bouldering ppl will be snapping off one arms--i cant even start to do one, but once we get to the bouldering area i end up 'techniquing' my way th...

as for drying that shit, i did it with a shirt, not a blow torch, and it stayed dry for about a minute, which, yes, is still long enough to send the route. it sure was a bitch though. hopeufully everything dries out--i really want to climb on that again, awesome line.

as for first or second set, its def. your loss if you dont go all the way. it's far more rewarding to finish after pulling that roof. also, the seeping problem definitely sucks, but the route is still climbable without A0. i mean, three other guys and i all sent it this summer with the hold wet as h...

ya, i agree with everything that has been said. i also think that it is important to not try to redpoint hard routes at your limit, but instead to try to increase volume and try to onsite a lot of routes that are easier for you. this keeps the blood flowing, 40 isnt even that cold when you're climbi...

the legend is totally doable even when its wet. I sent it this summer. all you have to do is stick clip draw one, jug up, dry it with a shirt, brush, chalk, lower, and send. the hold's sharp enough that the little moisture remaining doesnt make too much of a difference...but drying it everytime SUCK...

if thats how it reallly went down, i hope we have a segment in whatever video was made. bet we could work that into dosage vol. 4, or the next rr climbing video.

i dunno, we did both. the problem on the left, and mark and i sent the one up the steep back face, im just going by what everyone else was saying, and its the one called bulldog on the cover of the bouldering guide. great problem, if it was v2, it spanked a lot of 5.13 climbers, and was way harder t...

this past august a bunch of ppl and i were bouldering teh bulldog problem at night. mark, grady, kasia, lesley, eric, beck and others were all there. a video was made and i was just wondering if anyone that was there or others have/have seen it. I would like to check it out. anyway, pm or IM me or s...

lurkist, "you need to find yourself a girl mate," unless of course the girl is the belayer, in which case its all good. actually, its great. :D
