A thread actually about Climbing

Lateralus: yeah the Sphinx boulders are fun for sure! I got spanked in the ass, though on Fuck Germaine and some of the other stuff on Toadstool... which boulder is moonshadow on? I havent broken down and given Mike my money for a guidebook yet.

Is it me, or do the grades on those problems on Cedar and Rattlesnake seem, well, sandbagged? Or have I been climbing in the Red for too long?

Cody is rad but different to me..... the community isn't quite as warm and fuzzy as the one in Slade....

So I went to the gym today and climbed some cool boulder problems. Orange was so good.

No, your job is projecting all my warm ups.

you should go Pru, Cody really comes alive in the summer, but know that most of the climbing land is public so you have to work harder to piss off the landowner

jk.
buy the guide or better/both ask Mike to tag along or Todd. Those guys know that place as well as any. I think the boulder is on the moonshadow it's a ways up the trail from the Sphinxter, the north eastish side has a really nice hand crack on the east face I think and the north west face is where the pocket problems are. Lol i haven't been there for awhile so hope that's accurate. don't remember anything off the top of my head that really ever got downrated that much there, but yeah going there after the Red could be a bit humbling with an endurance background and assumedly not as much power base. Check out the Space Oddity boulder for a Redish like jug pump. I'm rambling, enjoy

thanks for watching my back! dmw didn't mean it, though. She has a mild form of tourettes and she can't help herself.

Cody sounds tempting, but I think I'll be handcuffed to my desk until Fall.

Andrew, How's that going warming up and Mr. Bungles and Brother Stair? I need beta, if while you are enjoying your summer vacation you have any extra time to share the beta with me.

Mr. Bungle is all about bouldering power. If you are having problems I suggest bouldering more.

The key to brother stair is closing your eyes. The route is so bad that if you look at it you will fall off, but it is hard to climb with your eyes closed, so you need to be extra strong.

Good luck.
