The Octagon
It's been entirely too long since this blog has been updated. But we're back and here for the season. Enjoy and climb on!
Sun Dial (v1)
A neat problem I found in the hills above Bass Lake. Please excuse the vertical orientation, but this thing is really tall. Also, the shadow directly over the line is a bit hard to see through - but it inspired the name. I'm proposing a grade of V1 or V2.
Bouldering At Altitude In January??
Strange weather phenomena have me climbing half naked at altitude in January. I spoke to Ron Kauk who has been in the Yosemite area for decades now. It is unlike anything he has ever seen and is "hopefully, a once in a lifetime thing"
I agree.
I agree.
Zorro Boulder V5
True boulder style climb with big catches and crimp pullups. I love placing the right heel above the right hand. All very cool
Random Happening #3
Just returned from Bishop, Ca - where I spent a little time trying to repeat my favorite problem of all time. However, at 98 degrees in the middle of the summer.... Lets just say that the slopey block and top out got a little frustrating ;)
Random Happening #2
Fellow Evolv athlete Ronnie Dickson sending V5 - in the rain - with one leg!! If you EVER had any excuses for why you cannot perform or succeed, I suggest you check out this video and be amazed. BTW he sends V8 when it's not raining :/
