Location: CO : Boulder : Flagstaff : Cloud Shadow : The Consideration (V4)
By: Chip Phillips When: Nov 22, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: pfwein - I deleted my previous post, since you've clarified yours.
You will know if you do Reverse Consideration. Switch the hands in the first beta photo above and you've got it. It's a completely ridiculous contortionist crossover that is really fun and made possible by perfectly placed feet. Match and throw to the lip. It's also got some cool history, being a Holloway problem.
True Consideration is thought to be the original way The Consideration was climbed ... without the small LH crimp t... more >>

By: pfwein When: Nov 22, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: Chip, my description was from an old timer, and it is a high quality problem as I describe it (I have done it, although not today). It's interesting that your guide doesn't seem to have the problem I describe: maybe I'm just not reading your guide right. I'd like to know the correct name, as it's a great problem, IMHO.

Edit: What I describe is the same as "True Consideration" on Chip Phillips' website, except that you don't match on the "crimp rail," you go directly to it with your l... more >>

Location: CO : Boulder : Flagstaff : Cloud Shadow : The Consideration (V4)
By: pfwein When: Nov 21, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: Someone should add Reverse Consideration: I'll try to do that when I take a camera there. Basically you go up to the first ledge with your left hand, and then directly to the "left trending rail" with your right hand. You don't use what is described as the bad crimp. Getting your feet arranged properly is important.

By: greg bahr When: Oct 10, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: Hey, can everybody list what they think are the best classic boulder problems on the mountain? I'm trying to make a list of the best boulder problems associating history and great movement for the grades of V0-V12. Curious to get others input on the subject!

By: sarah.s When: Sep 30, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: Watch out for the pillar on the first third of the traverse! Yesterday, it snapped and crackled when I grabbed the top of it. Later, when we tested it from the side, we were able to see it flexing under weight. This pillar is 100+ pounds, be careful!!!!!!

Location: CO : Boulder : Flagstaff : The Flagstaff Amphitheatre : Overhanging Hand Traverse (V1)
By: Peter Beal When: Sep 3, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: Rating this problem is not easy but comparing it to the Red Wall "V3s" is even more difficult as none of them are actually V3 except in Phil Benningfield's imagination/guidebook. I wouldn't call OHT V3 either but V1 is a bit stiff. However that is typical for Flag.

By: pfwein When: Sep 3, 2009 | view comment >> | Comments: Read the above comment: sorry, but at least relative to the other routes nearby, this is just V1. You can give it a + if you're using pluses. V2 would be Crystal Mantel on Pebble Boulder, which is definitely harder. Check out the V3s on Red Wall for sample of that grade.
These are stiff ratings compared to some other places, but maybe inline with others (J Tree). What can you say--V scale is whacked like others, and hard to compare across areas.
