Yes, it's at my new secret rrg bouldering crag... there are a bunch of classics there, like those 3 problems I already mentioned, plus routes like: hammerhead, the sandbox, mulletino, slider, god module, the crown, the wasp, etc... there are hundreds of great routes, but good luck finding the place...
hmmm, you call it a crag and then mention bouldering.....dont the walls have to be a minimum height to be designated a "crag"? or are you really speaking of some small practice rocks in the middle of some pasture...don't be stingy, seriously tell where these gems are. I have bouldered on ray's wall before, but if there are some small jaggy rocks just outside of lex i'd be game.....

do we have to bring our own ropes and wire brushes? how about crash pads and um, brownies?
Positive vibes brah...positive vibes.

it's a boulder crag... i don't think merriam-webster gets into the specifics of the heights of the walls... that's trivial.

Oh well, one hung BMT for the gillianth time. Going to train a little, lose 5 lbs, and get back to it in April. Switching over to mountainbiking for the winter. Let my elbows heal up.

Stopping climbing won't help them heal.

I am not stopping, just not training hard. Climbing 2-3 times a week on 11a/b and under. Mountainbike 20 to 30 miles per week. Just a matter of emphasis. Still doing push ups, dips, theraband bar exercises, massage. :wink:

All that mountain biking will do is cause you to build up a bunch of heavy muscle in your legs that you don't need. :D
