Still v5 from the full sit LH on the low arete blob and RH on the razor. Starting any higher and it's probably 3ish.

pretty good for the hobo cave. I think this is the line. it's the far right line from a sit.

6 seems right. Again have no clue if this is the correct line. sitting from bad crimps up to good flat eidges and up to an UC pinch and up to slopey block and then up to jug.

Is good. Is hard. Is impressive Gill didn't die.

Nice squeeze line in Bocan

felt like a good way to start the year. a good old 8'er

No clue on grade. very soft for flag.

The SDS. THE Curmudgeon.

Seems easier than Curmudgeon SDS. But more fun.

good, gritty. flagstone fun.

really fun moves on a small boulder. good rock. nice area!

7?8? who knows. kind of okay

very sharp. good in the cold.

Good. Soft. Cold.

I don't know grades

who knows. I guess something broke. I don't know what is real. It felt like a thing. somewhere between v4 and v10.

Really good rock. Really good movement.

Probably the semiobvious stand? who knows lol

pretty good, a touch grovelly

Heckin pebbles

Really good. Not v1. But who knows.

great conditions for carrying pads.

This is the Stand Start. Also not v10. Also maybe not V8. Also sharp. Also SNOW.

good movement on Flagstaff rock.

I think I did the v4 version. Whatever. 5.12. heck.

Really good, very right hand intensive

cool angle pinch. top had poo in it. chill.

nice compression and nba jam dunk finish. or kneebar. you do you.

Scary topout when you aren't allowed to fall on one leg O.o

Excellent. Last problem before my ankle exploded. Actually one of the first also.

?!

Really good. nice sculpted holds a la Font. Too many tries

good rock but kinda awkward. but in a good way.

I am very unsure about how this is supposed to be climbed. Felt dirty doing this lmao

very good. also cold. Jeff has very red blood.

7a. I won't try to convert any grades. it wouldn't matter. fantastic jump.

7a+. amazing.

7a/+. One of the best holds I have ever grabbed. It's like Haroun and High plains made a sandstone baby.

6c. Tall. For Font. very nice.

6a. Hard for the grade.

7a/+. Crimp in Font = super soft. V4 at the Buttermilks.

6a. very nice. Tallish

6c. nice. took several repeats to find the 6c beta.

7a. Not as good. Still good.

6a+. nice holds and a fun last move.

5-. tall. damp. scary.

7a+. hilarious at v5+. Great problem. epic humidity.

6c. Nice one. felt like a 4 move mantle.

6a. Nice warm up. fun topout

5. good fun

6a. very nice.

7a. steep tension to sloping top. good style.

6c+. nice boulder! many boulders were done on this day.

6c. very nice pinch.

6a. crimp crimp jump. good fun.

7a. "Scary" for font. Tall. Reminded me of apron boulders in squamish.

7a. Interesting climb. A V3 buttermilk crimp line married a V3 Font topout and made a V6?

7a. some of the best slopers ever chipped

7b. Shame it was chipped. fun moves.

5+. Amazing. Super classic. Won't count it as a flash since it shares the arete with the jump.

almost as good.

7a/+. rain drop in the eyeball spared the flash.

6a+. Fun top out

6b. Oh. the hold was just a little further back.

6b. Flash? Slab? Yes Font. That just happened.

6a. THE 6a. First 6a in the forest. baller.

6b. Epic.

7a+. grade 7 on the first day. Mission accomplished.

6a. Nice bloc

so cold in the canyon. Very nice rock with the mumps.

Very appealing to the eye. Maybe not as good as the hype. Probably 1.5 stars.

Knuckle buster. Punty McPuntster

Soft, Bigfoot is real. Real blurry.

This is one of the coolest dynos I have ever done. Very psyched. Very soft. I won't even try to grade it. Nik?

Quite fun. very comfy grips.

Soft, good flash effort, followed by 2 punts/picks, followed by awesomeness.

One of the coolest holds at the Ranch.

Really good but uneventful. At this point, the boulders here have to blow my mind for get 3 stars. Jaded.

Good.

Really great topout but the bottom moves weren't the MOST exciting. A little dirty.

I climbed very poorly. I am lucky this one allowed me to climb it.

Executed. Went all Mary Antoinette on this one.

SOFT. Good flash go but the power endurance got me. Amazing holds and movement in a dead horizontal roof. Tom's project was sick. WAS.

SOFT. Very surprised. Got tired fooling around trying to avoid the mono. Just pulled on and pulled through. Quicklike.

Really wanted to force the topout but it was filthy. Really fun jump move.

Pretty fun. Bouldering, distilled.

Amazing movement with just a touch of cursed rock. Acceptable.

Very fun. Good rock and punchy movement. Small enough to hug.

Let the down grading begin. This is amazing in both movement and grips.

This thing belongs at Haycock, but sadly it would be a V3. Grade appropriate if not hard for the area. Magnificent

Flash, kinda. Tom made me down climb because he is not camera savvy.

The jump is a little awkward but the hold are amazing. Might lose 1 point of the third star.

Really hard to give a grade to this one do to the flash anxiety. Almost lost it on the cut. This place is magical.

I was torn between 1 and 2 stars, because, well, crimping. If someone told me this was 8A+, I don't know if I'd know. SOOOOOO HARD.

Evolution has made this problem easier. My evolution.

People are fools; if this is V7 then Tattooed Teardrops is solid V8. . .

This is nice. This is THE LINE. Surprising quality on the unearthed start holds!

What? how? I thought this was the "V9" and Love Matters was the "V8?" NOT the path of least resistance

Psuedo flash. Route. 13a. Circus.

I probably cheated. Heel hooks are better for vibration problems. Shouldn't start where it starts. #nonexistantRightHand

So good. Thank god it was 40% bouldering and only 60% route.

First go. Technically, no flash.

I am basing my Arthurs grades on Godzilla. Maybe not fair. Really good sequence.

I am not touching this grade. This place says V8. I will not argue. Very tough 7.

pretty good. well timed as the sun set. good bloc. Glad to send before THE KNIFE.

On the Hobb's Problem boulder on the north side. Even meh problems at the Milks are nice.

Good problem just a weird crux.

Three goes with an ankle brace on? One hard move and keep your shit together. Team Blallins is going for it.

Rabbit out of a hat. That's Mr. Rabbit to you. Blallins came close.

the beginning of the end.

I would say V7, but really its two sort of hard moves to a V5 jug haul. the end of the beginning.

Maybe easy v7? Old school grade? greasy? warmup?

great moves on terrible rock. ouch.

This thing was SUPER deceiving. . .

This thing is baller. Possibly top-10. Didn't think I was going to get it done.

Jeez. . . this took forever.

Probably 3 tries after I figured out how to pull off the ground.

Pretty fun. Good crew!

I don't remember much. . .

Pretty fun. The girls had to show me what it was like to have balls.

I also think the stand is V9. Since they are the same grade. Also my beta is whack.

STOP BARNDOORING. STOP.

Like RMNP only smaller! It's in a hole!

Whack beta. Tough one.

This thing is so good. Probably "Newlin" over graded.

Surprise. On top of the boulder.

So good. Amazing rock. Tall. good moves. Probably hard?

Fun shizz. Newlin is bawse. STOUT.

Glad I finished this one. Everything here is so hard. Same rock as the Poudre but at least a full grade harder. At least the grades are consistent within the area.

Man. this thing is good. I simply cannot.

So close. A lot. then closer. then less close. then on top. COOKIES!!!

More days than Bierstadt. I am broken.

Nice consolation prize!

#soscary . . .

totally out of season. this thing is meant for cooler temps. surprised myself though

Likely only V8 or maybe hard V8 with the crazy leg beta. Really good conditions today. . . after this send.

Probably hard V9. difficult to say; my style.

V6 would seem more appropriate and mostly because the topout is grovelly.

This one is actually really fun although the start is very low.

No clue on the grade. Somewhere between soft and hard 8? sooooooooo fun. It doesn't really matter!

Holy crap. Just wow. Probably low end V9.

Sharp, but pretty fun. Turned out to be the longest 4 move problem ever.

Actually kind of fun, but a wrist wrecker with alternate beta. More false grippy and less gaston-y. Maybe V6+?

Slight contrivance but not by much. Good moves on quality rock.

Definitely in the conversation for best v6/v7 in Colorado.

that first sloper is amazing.

Pretty fun. Surprisingly warm in spite of temps.

Probably 2 grades harder than Punani. . .

Pretty awesome movement. Probably the best rock there but that isn't that hard. . .

really good and font"esque" style top out.

Wow. skin was NOT ready for that. Head right on the top out methinks.

Really good climb. Steep. Obvious start. High but safe crux. Rock is a little sharp but it is rock.

Probably full value if you can't use the ground for feet.

probably the most my skin has ever hurt. time off sucks. falling off lowballs also sucks.

This is a nice rock climb.

This is also a nice rock climb.

Again, nice rock climb.

So good. If only the opening moves weren't sooooo wide. . .

Possibly one of the most frightening moments in recent memory. Fingerlocks weren't meant as one-armed hangs. . .

2:go. I have no extensional core.

meh. . . If only it was sandstone. . .

SOLID v7. pretty fun. black ants are off for hands though.

too many "Hi, Moms" . . . I hate landing gear.

sooooo small but slopers are ALWAYS fun.

quite cold today. This is a nice climb!

Big difference in beta for short vs tall people.

sharp.

Almost gave up on this one.

NOT ideal conditions. . . cool problem though

Soooo cold. Almost in a white out . . . Pretty darn fun! Indians are weird.

Fuck a replacement killer! Them shits got replaced.

if by one of the best in the area, I mean one of the best in the Barrio. . . I might still disagree with myself. . .

I could die now. The name describes it best . . .

Such a good boulder problem!!!!!!! One of the best in Joe's! So close to flashing...

Sharp crimping but amazing last move!

She was so dirty when I was on top of her . . . But I was dirtier.

Kevin said I was sweating, but I told him it was pee. I was real scared.

I wanted to see a blue duck, so I drew the duck in Joe's . . . RAGE

Meh . . .

OMFG . . . Amazing . . . Joe's

Fun. Second go.

maybe soft v9. Cool move, not psyched that I have to do it at the end of the sit!

Maybe soft V6? either seemed hard for V5 or too sharp for rock climbing . . .

I don't know... New thing that starts on the jug in the center of the Hamburgler face and goes up to the bad holds and punches right to the lip. Most definitely easier than Macho Man but totally different. Soft? Today, very soft at 38 degrees...

MAYBE V7. Kind of an eliminate. V5 if you go right, right, right to the Boss, V6 if you lunge out left to the mossy jug, and V6+ or V7 if you jump. Still amazing all the ways.

Not V10 but hard to grade. Jeff thought 6, I thought 8... apparently his arms are one centimeter longer or he is one centimeter stronger.

Jeff got the first. Direct start on the face into Bouncy Castle. Start on thin left hand pinch at 7' and high right hand sidepull undercling at around same height. slap up and left to sloper and lerp for the finish of BC!

Fall bouldering is here! and there it went...

Joint FA with Sillcox and Marvez. Slopey line at the entrance of the corridor to Real Hero, on the left. Starts RH sidepull and left hand on a narrow pinch. Trends up and right on fine grain slopers. sooooooo good.

Just like Squamish! Even sent right after a small rain storm...

manky. Fun moves!

Best V8 at Lincoln. Hands down. and up...

Good slopers and body position! Almost cried my way through Tangerine Man also... next time

2 move slapping slopers on the small boulder right of Garfield. Granite style.

so tiny!

legit. no kickstands.

Pretty fun to a weird or hard topout, not sure which?

second go. without a chalkbag due to equipment error...

I don't know about the grade on this one... V8/9 seems soft, even V8 seems soft compared to eight equals D...

Surprisingly good!

campus-y... lunge move is too big... SOOOOO HOT TODAY.

i left legged!

meh

very nice, guess on date

rock climbing is cool!

very cold... i HATE SNOW...

Hrrry... your hands are ffffffreeezzzziiinnnnggg

Never could have been V11... even without kneebars...

ML... Epic FLAIL!

i suck

waaaaay too hot to be mid-November here... way to hot to grab these holds...

Really cool with a committing top... sooooo many pads

Right sit into Germ Free. fun moves.

awesome line with debris landing... and a very painful right hand edge...

yea... about that...

i suck at dynos... and commitment... and rockclimbing... need i go on?

took more tries than Copperhead, ergo, Copperhead is a V5...

had to TRY... like a bawse

WAAAAAAAAYYYY harder than Copperhead... little spicy with only one pad under the jump move and none under the rest... maybe easy V10?

3:go... V7 at Rock Creek or maybe it was just cold...

i shoulda listened to Jeff...

ICE-COLD!

holy fucking shit... those were the hardest 3 moves i have ever done... in a row... BAKER'S DOZEN!

surprise!... Surprise... felt impossibly possible made possible by improbable possibility...

surprise!

breaking a crystal on a crimp on flash go didn't help me send any faster... V9 intro

did it like 4 times and wanted to do it more so i fell off the top a bunch...

Really fun by partial headlamp... at the buzzer!

needed softer tips for this... crazy right?

should have waited for hard skin... took 4 goes...

ccccccoooollldddd... stupid bush pilot... why won't you bend to my will?

penis meat!

fun stuff... should have done WAAAAAY quicker... like second try on Wednesday... Park might be Donezo... soft

maybe v5 if you aren't a shawdy...

fun line, no thinking just acting... my head asplode

elt really close second go, first day on this rig, but didn't send until like 6th go, second day on. last day at lincoln... single tear...

i AM MIDGET...

good, not as much of a puzzle as a commitment issue...

really good, fairly burly...

wow... again.... best warmup on granite?

wow....

would be SOOOOO good if not for the dab potential... climbs much more static than it would need to... :(

Definitely should have flashed... why would i choose a smear over and juggy slot for a foot!? Last day at Tram as a California Resident. This problem was a very worthy last Tram Session send. Very pleased, good bye Tram!

Finally decided to do it. Pretty fun but not very important...

the left start to Byron's... the original?

who knows, maybe someone has done this. Start same as Organ grinder but follow the dike to a jug and top out on sloper and sloper rail... pretty fun

very... squatty...

just down hill from accordion boulder. Nice stone, crimp rail at face height, up to undercling, edge, and apex of boulder.

very warm... skin very soft, probably much better when its cold

reallllllllly fun moves with cool jump to ham hock... mmmm ham....

wow... sooooo good. with the tuck beta... "I'd fuck me"

hould have done this sooooo much faster, but i decided i needed less skin, some bruises, and some pressure. for Jesus... V9 Intro

too hard to warm up on... under water... in clouds... with unicorns... did I at least start on the right holds???

V8 seems right. very cool. Tension move much easier than moving off the jug...

would be amazing with colder temps! V6ish?

should have flashed... stupid tick marks...

weird top out, good climbing

Yay something overhanging and NOT V10!

verything is soooo good

i think i peed a little...

feels v6... maybe its just hot out...

i think this is it? V7 mantle thing at the happy hunting grounds. far left of 3 boulders??? maybe i need a guide?

probably v4 as a lunge start. Maybe V7 if you establish on the problem, then jump... still fun!

i think the left hand crimp of the crux broke. Solid 6. awesome climb!

apparently some stuff broke near the top. MIGHT be v6 now... after getting harder... nice rock

i got ahead of myself... awesome!

Getting there...

Might have this mixed up with Pancake

Might be mixed up with iflop

definitely not v10. Probably Solid 8 or hard 8, but maybe a bit height dependent on the grade... i am a GIANT.

pretty fun... woohoo

drop knees are for sissies and men...

kinda fun but kinda not but yea...

kind of fun in a weird way, would have been much more psyched to do stained glass or thunderbird but poo...

i guess its fun... what a world of difference conditions make!

isn't really much harder than cholos, if at all

Pretty fun but i think the stand start is way harder than the sit moves into it...

kinda fun... very disappointing conditions in December...

i got pumped b/c i went out of turn...

really good, gets 1/4 flutterly heart.

pretty fun... seems to be the standard theme at Moe's!

woo-woo... all aboard the send train! Me, Jeff, Kelly=KaBoom!

Very cool rock and fun climbing! probably hard v6 or easy v7... but is still awesome!!!

3rd go... awesome!

should have flashed... and should have done second go... etc. etc. etc... maybe 6th go? softish?

quick... v6 to v6 dyno is not v10... still pretty damn fun!

puts the ug in bug...

good climbing, but a bit of a detour...probably hard for V9

good and exciting, one of the best boneyard has to offer

pad brush... i hate myself. Probably on the softer side of V11

i like the mantle... 5.12+ bitches!

freakin hard for 7... not that cool but fun i guess

This thing is awesome. GREAT rock.

no clue on date

unpossible first move... made possible by magic

most definitely soft... hardest dyno i've ever done was v6 therefore, this must be easier; that's math!

much more fun than I had originally thought... SOFFFFTTT

Pretty outstanding. Fairly sustained even with the kneebar... very dangerous with a muerte crew...happy mother's day

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat??? really fun moves into the best v6 in Socal

best v6 in socal. with holds!

should have flashed. fun moves on really cool holds

Second try from the start. a lip traverse from squamish meets a mantle from yosemite

would say 2:go but i did a lot of jump taps on the starting hold... nice climbing

kinda fun but turdy...

7A my ass... try 7B...

just aim properly...4 moves to climb 4 feet, then 1 move to climb another 4 feet...

really fun and steep... great rock

more beta makes it go from like v11 to v9... thank god...

ugh... stupid jeff... i really didn't want to try this, and certainly not more than once... could this get a black hole? no stars

hardest v4 ever... period... not nearly as good as everyone says, but good

very soft... looks possibly v7/8 but is most likely hard v6, but still awesome

dynos like this are lame... low feet, no flow and super jerky... still pretty cool though

muuuuuch easier after the break... a pleasant surprise

super good... see Planet of the apes for correct grade

i think the grades of chips and planet of the apes are flippy floppy

pretty fun. important second pitch on xenoliths

lies... waaaay better than some of the "4 star lies... err... lines"

good jugs to good crux... very nice

fun to meh

pretty soft, probably easy 12a... fun movement though, with rodeo clip and crowd pleaser start

awesome route, so sad to be done at the red AND sick. couldn't recover and do anymore routes... so sad

Too many tries... freakin' hard for an out of shape boulderer!

3rd go. make hardest redpoint times 2! high five! sharp

epic... hog is stunned as am I... hurray beer!

badass moves on badass holds make hand party. more teeth skin

3rd go...skin of teeth make send. hard crux for out of shape boulderer

very nice awesome holds. coooollllldddd

i make little pump... warm up very nice... i feel wet

last move red point crux = hard. feels solid, time for rest day!

awesome, but super tired... need sleep before sport climbing...

su-fucking-perb

its true... and i hate onsight attempts...

daaaark.... bleh

glue and missing holds???

3rd try from start... 4hrs sleep, plus cathedral peak, plus attempted 7a+ warmup flash = not a good gauge of fitness...

yay snow

its what you get when you cross a bear arete with an eagle face...

humid like whoa... rained 3 times
