I've done Detox and like it. Felt V3 to me so either you're weak or I'm strong.

I put up a lot of the problems at Emerald City. What do you want to know?

Just if there are any guides for that area and if there are where can I find them. Detox went my second try, it wasn't that I thought it was super hard it just felt harder than most V3's I've done and the shorter people I was working it with were pissed about the big reach to the rail.

Emerald City is ok to if you are already there doing routes and want to get a quick session in afterwards, other than that I would hit the Cove or the Junkyard. Emerald is a decent place to just grab your shoes and do an easy circut. The far left side of Skybrige ridge has some decent problems that no one seems to go to. The chalk is prob gone and the lichen has prob grown back, but if your wanting some new problems to work on there are a few projects that need to go down out that way. As far as the best problem at the Red. Dreams would be high on the list as far as clean lines go. Have not done WDC. I cant believe no one has mentioned Buckeye Shutdown(I'm pretty sure thats the name) at the Coffee shop. Its pretty much the only problem that tops out there. Big moves, commiting, and solid the whole way thru. Anothe problem that hasnt been mentioned is the line behind Rock Wars, I wouldnt call it the best, but its up there with whats listed on the poll.The Red does have a few lines that would be classics at any boulder field, you just have to find them and usually clean them everytime you get on em. Get out and explore and you will be surprised what the Red has to offer as far as bouldering goes.

i just got back from the junkyard. it is one of my favorite areas. i tried tbone again and i kept barndooring off. oh well, great weather anyway.

Sugar High V2...awesome bucket roof problem. PArk at the store formerly known as Natural Heights, walk straight across the road and stick to the cliffline to the right. YOu'll find a protruding ledge about 100 feet lower than the road in elevation. Sugar High is the most obvious problem there. While you're there do the problem to the left (Black Dog V4-ish) and to the right (Mr. Smartypants V?). Right of Mr. Smartypants is a problem called Only Me that was put up by mr. SCIN himself.

This is private land and you take your virginity into your own hands by going there.

An alternate parking/approach option is to park at the End Time Tabernacle (church in a trailer) and walk over the hill.

Sugar High is the best V2 I've ever been on. I used to do laps up and down on it, campus laps on it and barefoot/approach shoe/teva ascents of it.

Those problems are pretty cool. Nice slopey topouts.

I posted a pic of Sugar High in the bouldering section of the album if anyone wants to take a look.

I also know of a wicked traverse that would make the list of best though very few people know of it. Its called Wocket in My Pocket and its about V4 and 100 feet long or so with a top out.

There is a problem at Emerald City called Wolverine that my cousin put up many years ago that is really fun and technical and a nice sandbag V1. Its on the most obvious boulder downhil from the Shining ona bench. Its a steep prow-ish line.
