Yos 4/15


Scott and I headed up to the valley for a day trip, we were to meet Lyn and Paul up there for a day of bouldering.

Scott and I left a little later then planned, but it worked out because when we got there Paul & Lyn had barley got up ;)

First thing, we headed to the wine boulder area to warmup and get on cocaine corner. Lyn and I had both not done cocaine corner, and with a few attempts and some good beta, both got the problem!!! YAY

After that, we headed up to 'sonic wave' aka 'fuck my right bicep'..

Lunchtime... Then headed over to the Crystals where I had a problem that I had found a few months ago and Scott and I cleaned like last month. Paul got the problem and one of the huge jugs that we thought were good came off with a 3' piece of granite..

Paul got the problem and then everyone else got on it and got the problem WOOT :) Its a sweet problem, very technical with the footwork. You have to step through while smearing, what fun.

Scott then showed Paul his problem 'fold your pad' witch is a short, yet wicked hard bulge.

We then warmed down? on another good problem at the crystals that both paul and scott got.
