Saturday Night Live Boulder.

Description 

This small boulder is home to a handful of problems from V0 to V4 with the main attraction here being the dynamic and fun to watch Saturday Night Live (V4).

It's interesting to note that all of the problems on this boulder (as well as a few others nearby) were commonly done at night in the "old days".


Getting There 

From the Real Hidden Valley (RHV) parking lot follow a climbers trail that leads west along the outside of the formations that make up RHV to the boulder which sits right off the trail.

Sticking the sloping dish on my first send of the problem. I was excited to tick this one off and fortunate to have it documented (thanks to Ivo). I figured if I pressed my lips together real tight it might transfer to my grip on the top.

This is an entertaining boulder problem 20 yards from the Real Hidden Valley Parking lot. Park and walk west, as per Loose Lady. After 5-6 seconds of hiking, look over your right shoulder. You'll see a big scoop with a chalky handhold on the left. Grab the hold, smear your feet and dyno to the lip. Then make an easy mantel to finish the job.A rating on this one is pretty meaningless......[more]
