OK, made it out last Sunday in the cold, melting snow nastiness. It was still fun and we even got a bit lost which is requirement whenever I go bouldering. We also left WAY late, another requirement.
We checked out the mainside - many good problems there - friday the 13th, some other sick crimp line adam sent, and the 1070 traverse all excellent. I liked the short crimpy roof problems to the right of the 1070 problem too. Especially if you make them eliminates you can get 3-4 problems out of a small chunk of rock.
We tried hiking across the road to see what was there but came up empty handed with wet shoes and cold hands. At this point we only had about 45 mins of daylight. We hiked back to the top of the cliff sort of aimlessly but managed to get to the backside. WHOA! These problems are super fun, big moves, big holds, bomber (lean machine, holly go lightly, etc)!
We then hightailed it across the hill to finish on two other fun problems. Maybe rumpelstiltskin or something like that? Both started with a cool sit down start on a half moon hold.
Never did find or quite understand where the "twelve step program" problem was which is the one that looked super rad...will have to return.
