You all are killing me with the arms thing. Photoshop can do cool things... I actually gained a couple pounds out there, since I wasn't running and was eating like crap.

Haas, I saw those two cracks and was like "Ray needs to check these things out for sure", I only found an old Ibex guide that mentioned them. They had not been freed at the time the guide was printed, but the one on the right was TR'ed clean, and given .13a, with the one on the left being harder. Cool looking for sure.

I am already trying to figure out if I can get back there this year before it gets to hot. Might have to wait til next year though. Lisa Rands is doing a couple problems in Dosage at Ibex. That clip was one of the things that really inspired me to start training and bouldering a couple years ago, so to be able to actually try some of those problems was a pretty cool feeling.

Well, I have been sport climbing alot, and there are rumors that sport climbers shave everywhere, in order to send the latest proj. Not saying anything else though. :?

For you and all the ladies. I am just nice like that...

Nope, ment to take a couple pics of those crack, but forgot. Pretty much just 45-50 feet of 30 degree overhanging fingers to fist, with maybe a couple face holds. On bullet hard rock.

Bruce Lee? I think it is v8-9 maybe? There are a bunch of varations. The side of the red monster boulder might be the best single chunk of rock anywhere. Very cool problems stacked right next to each other. And that thing is tall! I wish I had a pic that showed how big that boulder is.
