Start on the obvious jug and start to wonder why this wasn't as easy as you thought it was going to be. A deceivingly difficult problem to say the least.

This is the first boulder you come across when you come up the talus field from the Tumbled Rocks trail.
I think I was the FA on this. But like everything you get on at DL chances are it has been done by 5 people before you. I would be interested to know if Eric or any other guys did this before me.

thanks Remo! It was my ditch effort as it usually is when you send I suppose. "Ok, I swear this is my last try and then we can move on." Neadless to say I was very excited (hence the swearing in the video I guess. lol)

If you think I did it "the harder way" does that mean I can take 10 points for it? I mean I've never sent a 10 yet and I wouldn't mind calling this my first one :-) I tried forever to do it ur way but I just couldn't stay on that sloper for the life of me. No matter how daintily I went to the damn thing so I abandoned that beta and made a power problem out of the thing lol.
Damn how much chalk do you need on the second hold? I could chalk up on that tick mark!

Funny Paul, John and I were talking about this a couple days ago. I first went up to check out Alpine Club in March. There was zero chalk on it. I walked by it again about 1-2 weeks ago and it was positively GLOWING, you could see each chalked hold perfectly from the path 100 yards below. Save your money, you don't need any more chalk for this one LOL.

I wish I could take credit for that tick but it wad already there when we got there. I am not shy though when it comes to ticking so it might as well been from me.
