Bouldering

Just did some more bouldering. Jordan and i went up to the secret garden and then the cabbage patch. I didn't do much myself, as my fingertips are all sore. Jordan found this boulder with a seet lieback that leads to some face and then a jug that you mantel to the top. It is glorious. Lots of mosquitos. Bummer.

Well, last nights bouldering trip got me all stoked to get up there, so we all (Jason, Jordan, Lars, and me) went up again around 6:45 this morning. This time we went up the road a little further, but not too much. Another great roadside bouldering area. It was deserted this morning, but It's really popular during the day, I would imagine. One of the greatest boulders on earth is up there. You start off on a jug like thing and have to dyno to this huge, yet not as good as you think it is, hold. After that, you think it's probabley over, but it's not. What we think is the crux consists of some slopy holds up the the top. It is insane. Photos were taken, they will be posted shortly. The rock itself is the coarsest granite I have ever delt with. It is rather painful after a while. My hands are preety raw as I type this. While bouldering is fun and all, I want badly to get up on a nice hand crack. I plan on leading bushwack crack preety soon.

Finally got back out, but only did some bouldering. Suprisingly, I was fine with this. The group that went consisted of me Jason, Jordan, and Lars. We went up Little Cottonwood to a nice little area just barely up the road. There were some nice boulders up there and it wasn't too crowded. I would like to go into more detail about the area but I don't have the area bouldering guide. Jordan is buying it preety soon though, so I can be more detailed later. It was preety friggn awesome though. Got stoked about bouldering, which I didn't think would happen. I've always been one for the long moderates, but I could get into this. I can feel myself getting stronger too.
