New Boulders

Can't write too much but I feel like we're all starting to get excited for the fall again. Katie and I talked about it a bit and we both think the East Bluff is gonna hold the next series of new areas. I was stunned at what we found just 20-30 feet below Perfect Medium and Sex and Chocolate.

On the updates front, Katie did a FA on Saturday, naming it Wrestling the Bear. Apparently that's a reference to spotting me. Chris did that after a couple tries as well and Aaron did Brototype 1.0 fairly quickly earlier in the day. As for me, I got close on Storm Troopers but had to wait for another day as energy and daylight ran out on me. Peter also epic'd his way up to Moj on Friday, calling me from the right edge of the Slant Field, completely lost. He eventually found his way up there and put it to bed very quickly, in a bout 15 minutes. Really glad you found it!!

Ian has also been busy putting up a bunch of cool looking new lines in the east bluff talus near flatiron. It's incredibly cool to see new development going on in so many different areas of the park and I'm psyched to check out the new problems on the other side of the bluff! They look fun and Katie assures me they're good.

Here are some pictures to enjoy.

This thing is actually impressive and has holds on it!

Starting about 4 moves in

This is the roof from below and behind it

Another really cool boulder directly below the roof. You can actually walk through the tunnel on the left to get into the roof.

We had a great, long day on Saturday and ended up staying well past when we thought we would and walked out in the dark.

I want to say congrats to Remo and Kate for getting married this past weekend and it goes without saying that everyone is psyched for you both!!!

Here's a little vid from Saturday.
