Mystery Boulder Problems in Rumney, HELP!!!!
|
I was on Newenglandbouldering.com and they had compiled a list of hard boulder problems in the northeast. In that list is a V11 called "Tire Swing" in Rumney, does anybody have any info about this route? I have never heard of it... I can't climb this hard but am very curious because it is a complete mystery. |
|
A couple other routes in question at rumney |
|
There's also The Baptism v10/v11 that is a mystery climberism.com/lost-in-nort… |
|
The Baptism is located at Sculptured Rocks which is right down the road from Rumney in a town called Hebron. |
|
Is the Baptism that problem over the water? That looked like a cool problem. |
|
Yeah it is over water that is roughly 3-4 feet deep |
|
I didn't realize the water was that shallow! |
|
Have you had any luck with finding info on these problems? |
|
Only on Things in the Woods, seems to be what was referred to as "Unknown" located under the monsters from the id crag. And shady info that Tire Swing was a crimp dyne problem somewhere in the area of the blackjack boulder |
|
Let me ask around some more, and see if we can't figure this out. |
|
Got some info from Ryan who did the FAs of Tire Swing and Spun: |
|
Cool, I think I know what he is referring to for SPUN I'll get a photo of it and shoot it over to him and see if he can verify it for us. |
|
Nice, can't wait to see the pics! |
|
If anyone is interested I cleaned the top out for what may be a new V7(6?) on the Ricochet boulder last fall. Its directly to the right of the V3 called Ricochet, around the left from the train track problems. |
|
eddysamson, didn't I see a video of your problem somewhere??? |
|
I don't have video of when I sent it, a friend and I had video about 3-4 years ago of the beta but not the finish, but that was only posted on Facebook to our friends so you probably wouldn't have seen it. Last I looked for the video on Facebook I couldn't find it for some reason or else I would share. |
|
Oh I found the video. Here's a link: |
|
That's not the video I was thinking of, but the problem looks cool! |

In the video, it looks to me like you are climbing just to the right of Cilley Flakes on ://www.mountainproject.com/v/cilley-groove/106312248, on [[Cilley Groove |
|
Maybe the guidebook author had his left and right mixed up??? |
|
You're right it is Cilley Flake on the left. I added it on the Ricochet Boulder page. Going to go back and finish the clean job on the top out next time I'm there. |
