Blake Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 I was going to ride out and see how things were coming last wed. Looks like a fun afternoon. Are/ there any more moderate bouldering problems around there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distel32 Posted November 1, 2004 Author Share Posted November 1, 2004 there are two vertical problems on the left side, and a smalller boulder about 100 yards up the road with 2 moderates on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill_Simpkins Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 From the parking there (with yellow gate), you can hike down to the tracks and there are a few problems there that I put up a few years ago from V0-V2 range, put them together you have a 30 foot traverse. Traverse the whole wall low is 3-4 problems linked. More also if you hike north on tracks about 1/2 to 1 mile. There is also a cliff in the woods around there that has some stuff.

Bill_Simpkins Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 We called it Lizard Rock because of all the lizards than lounge on it in the summer. I traversed it north to south. I've done the whole thing, but I usually start beginning with the overhang to avoid loose rock. After the overhang there is some weirdness Hoodini friction then a feet of acrobatics to stretch (do the splits) under small slopey thing, then it gets easy until a campusing swing and weird pull with total friction trust onto the last easy slab. We also put up a few easier ones going straight up the wall. I have not been able to reverse the traverse. I'll buy someone a beer if they do it. Except for Luke, he's not 21 yet.He gets soda. The traverse: The overhanging crux on traverse: Be careful on the left side (north end) of the wall. A chunk fell off and hit my friend in the leg.

Distel32 Posted November 2, 2004 Author Share Posted November 2, 2004 I'm sure the roof is moderate for some Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill_Simpkins Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 Those wires are hooked up to a box. if you fall, you get shocked to death. Makes the problem more interesting. No really. they are hooked up to a box and when they break from falling rock a warning alerts the engineers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
