stoneface park..

well, i was supposed to head to tahoe with brett to get on white lines but i had some stuff to do on sunday, so we didn't head out.

i felt an itch to get on some rock still though, so i decided to head out to berkeley to kill a few hours on the rocks there.

i went to stoneface park, i had seen it before but never really went to check it out. the boulder there is actually pretty sweet. there are a decent amount of trees on the steeper side, but i got on two problems there.

one is 'the great stone face'. v4 stand/v7 sit. the sit starts on a layback rail, then look like goes to a pocket and then to a decent pinch jug. from there, it is the stand start of a big move up to a good edge then you hit the top sloper and jug. fun problem, i did the stand but didn't really get on the sit.

the other problem, i dunno the name, but it starts on a large shelf than goes to two underclings, then a left hand crimp, to another undercling and then you hit the top and its an easy topout. this was a fun problem that went up the 'face' on the boulder.

didn't really get on anything else, just started a little project and then headed out.. hella little kiddies walking around swordfighting with sticks heh, funny stuff.

all in all, i was glad i was able to get out for even a little bit.
