Rumney Dynos?

Touche!

Seriously, Zach is right that many routes we have listed only require a pop (semi dynamic move), ranging from small to BIG, without it being a full dyno, for folks 5'3" or so and above.

I am 5'5" with zero or negative ape index and for climbs I have been on (.12a and below), only Curl Up and Fly needed a real huck from me (on TR so far).  I have yet to figure out the Beta that works reliably for me on STP but that might come down to a huck too.  Not sure yet.  Of course no idea about High Roller at this point.   Rumeny rock for the most part is highly featured, so it is not uncommon to find a higher bump/nub/edge/crimp to make a real dyno unnecessary.  

All that said, I climb quite statically, maybe too much so.  I also think, depending on one strengths, skill set, and "pop" nature, it can be more efficient to make big moves (dyno or otherwise) between big holds than to make more, smaller moves, using smaller holds and taking more time.  It all comes down to the individual.  No one rule, except for to have fun and not to die :), applies across the board.

You can always try Soup to Nuts

Cosmic Monsters has a decent sized dyno.  12a at Monsters. [e] Unlike some of the others, it's also more or less required, too, barring some weird beta I don't remember.  Neptune also has a non-optional dyno, I believe, though that's 13a.

My vote is for techno surfer...has real dyno towards the end of route...super sick!

The opening move of Flying Squirrel is one of my favorites

The first move of riviera is a jump off of a ledge (it definitely involves campusing to match the hold even if the first move can be done semi-static by tall folks). For reference (at 1:20): https://youtu.be/HdoFNkDirzw?t=81

Where is the boulder problem from 0:24?

Go to the end of the video at 04:30, it was an FA that Josh did along the river called The Baptiste. 7c+/v10 he called it. Note that they said the water is not very deep.

All they say in the video is that it's "in the river, right outside Rumney Rocks." Maybe the footage where they sweep across the area will give a hint though? Not clear if they mean the river below Buffalo Road or the one further up in town.

I've gone looking for it on many rest days. I want to do it so badly.

I think that is sculptured rocks about a 20 minute drive south of rumney in hebron
