Life On The Move

Four new problems on this boulder

Jack and I went back up to the Hut area in the Mountains for some more scouting of new lines. The area should be called Arete Area due to the abundant beautiful aretes here. Jack worked a v8 that he has been eying for a month now. A very hard traverse that leads to a mantel with a high left foot hand match. Tough. We established a couple of new problems in a really cool sector. This sector has some killer problems with SO many more problems to be had. The first problem is a really nice steep face left of an arete. The lack of feet make us think that it will go at v6/7. Just left of this arete is a nice face with a couple of problems on them. The first starts on the arete with a bad smear to a great pocket. It ends with a sloper top out. Fun I was able to get the FA I named it Mud Slide v4. To the right of that is a more difficult problem that we are saving for a later date. Right of that is another cool problem with a tough start. It moves up an arete and shallow crack. Jack sent it first with me next. I can not remember what Jack named it.

A really fun day. We found a few more fun problems that will have to wait. Next Tuesday we are headed back to send the 11d/12a project and bolt another line. On Wednesday morning I went to Mitake with some friends. I will post some pictures in a bit.
