I had a dream a few weeks ago that you guys found a boulder field in Muir that was as good as Rocktown or HP40. It was one of my best dreams ever.

It will happen, Rhino. As soon as I have gathered enough explosives to blow up the cliffs and turn them into tiny little boulders so as to bring an end to all and any Muir Valley controversies! BWAHAHAHA! :twisted:

Speaking of explosives, the best crack boulder problem in the red is at torrent. Just need to remove this big chunk of rock that is blocking the FA...

I don't know about the best crack boulder problem being at Torrent. Muir has a version of Moab's crack house and there are quite a few steep crack boulder problems that Texas Pete has been sending lately.

Imagine a 25 foot boulder leaned back about 20 degrees with a line of large very shallow hueco like rings going up and right. Im talking nickle thick crimps. And they are all spaced out for long moves. Its in the shade with a flat landing zone.
I was even tempted in spite of it being wet that day.

yum!

if someone's willing to take me there when i come down (i'd rather not bushwhack around never finding it...much like my failed attempt at finding Funk Rock) i'll get on it.

either the last weekend of this month (if i make it down) or in late september in prep for the Triple Crown :D
