Comments: I think that is a Lambie pic... Hey I'm going to post some info on the bouldering by the da vinci boulders but I want to finish some of the work on the crag before hand... as accessing from that direction is probably easiest for them. Lets get a posse together for a little bouldering session out there some weekend. Leaves changing color out there yet?

Comments: I have a lot of info on the Da Vinci and surrounding area. Is the local community comfortable with me compiling this information and directions? Maybe we should have a little group consensus on this. It would be nice to get some more folks to go and pull down out there.

Comments: There are a couple problems on the backside of this boulder which are worth while if you are getting spanked around on Scuba Steve. The one on the left is a right handed dyno, off crimps... probably V2. The one on the right starts matched on the jug, go left hand to the pinch, heel it up and reach for the top out jug high ( V3).

Comments: One of the best in the state. If you go to New Mexico, this route should not be missed.

Comments: I remember the first two bolts off the deck being smashed, so no gear for 25 feet or so. It's probably 5.9, slick , but with positive edges. A great route, but i could have skipped the last pitch (p3) and been happy to go back to camp.

Comments: If you make the trip to New England, make a point to head to this crag. In my opinion the rock, and climbing are both quality. If you're a 10 plus-11 trad leader you'll make quick work of these routes, but the quality is so good you might just do some routes twice.
One you must do is Green Mt. Breakdown...absolutely classic climbing and position.

Comments: I'd have to agree with Joe C.... High step crimp..repeat and so on. Although Beautiful rock, beautiful patina. My best advice is to wear some stiff board lasted shoes. If you are used to wearing softies on sport routes, leave them at home for this one..your feet will thank you.

Comments: As to my knowledge you don't receive a free pass if you stay at Corkins. The reason is as such:
If they grant you access to the cliffs and you get hurt climbing you can sue them. So, if they grant access, then they also have to carry an insurance policy which would cover all climbers...not just the ones they sanction to climb on their land. Unfortunately the litigious nature of our country puts them in a tight spot.
I'm not recommending, only informing here...but if you climb without permissi... more >>
