The crew woke up ready for sends and to find some more easter eggs of sorts within the magical world of Rocktown. Today we would be skipping the Orb boulders and the Vagina for the other side of Rocktown. After warming up at a cool wall called the Hueco Simulator, we roamed back towards Nose Candy and Sherman Photo Roof. Where after a few tried Ben sent Sherman, a proud send for the weekend bouldering crew.
Next we strolled on over The Pythagorean Theorem A.K.A. Asphalt - V5. Luke, Ben, Adam and I all sent (Luke, Adam and I in no shirts I might add), leaving Jess to work it to the core. After incredible effort she unfortunaly could not send. Next it was over to Triple Slaps - V3. A SUPER COOL problem with a tricky double undercling start. After that it was... well... how do I put this?... Lets just say if God made these boulders, he was having a very strange day when he made this one. Aptly named for its resemblence to... well... Mr. Stiffy - V5. Yes, laugh it up. We all sent. Or at least, we thought we all sent, as it turns out the problem is an eliminate. The way we did it the problem was more like V2/3. Still fun though...

We then worked our way to another classic! The Scoop - V3. Picture a boulder like an ice cream dollop, dotted with mono-pocket sprinkles. Now picture someone took an ice cream scoop, and scooped out the main face of that boulder. And there you have The Scoop. Luke sent in street shoes many a time. Ben and Adam sent. And I, although I finished the crux move, was unable to send. We finished our day on The Hobbit - V5, another fairly easy climb with a tricky top-out... Im starting to see a trend here...
