Comments: Fast response...Glad to hear we are on the same page. No worries on the whole butt-hurt thing, you may however want to invest in a thicker crashpad if the condition gets any worse.
I actually PMed you a few minutes ago (unless the email you gave wasnt legit).
The guys with the topo actually seemed pleased when I told them about posting the routes etc. It sounded like they might like the history to be out online (and werent interested in doing it themselves)(probably they are climbing, not ne... more >>

Comments: Joecl,
OBVIOUSLY, these lines have been climbed many, many, many times before. (yes I saw all the chalk and your old brush). Please notice that I did NOT at ANY POINT claim FAs. I have been in contact with a few people who claim they established the FAs in the late 90s. They have a hand drawn guide to the boulders. I just need to meet up with them sometime to get a copy of it... The 'names' I gave them are just placeholders until I can get the real deal.
No one I have spoken with so far has me... more >>

Comments: I wondered why no one ever commented on this photo. I think it looks ridiculous.
Also their plan john was to bop her onto the pad should she fall, not catch.

Comments: Frank,
Thanks for the info, I totally get your point, and did not intend to step on local history. I am definitely not claiming FAs or naming rights. I merely put names up as place holders (see previous post) before I forgot about the route. By all means please post the real names and I will quickly and gladly change them. The ratings I posted were about what I thought they were when I climbed these routes over the past month.
I met and climbed with many really awesome locals (the climbers in ... more >>

Comments: the right line was originally bolted by DG and called two girls and a cup (5.9). We always called it 20 minute wank, for unobvious reasons. The left line is unnamed to my knowledge. It has been TR'ed but needs lots of cleaning...

Comments: I have started adding routes to the area. I am new to the area so if you know any additional info on the routes just let me know and I will update. I also gave names to routes because I couldn't find names to most of the boulder problems here ( I think giving them names is better then calling it Unknown #1 etc). If any of these routes have names, again just let me know and I will change it.
