Summer Has Begun!

Ah yes, as I walked out of my Earth Science Regents Exams and stepped into Kyle's truck directly headed for Nine Corners, I knew Summer was here. And, after a short kitchen raid for food at my house, the best part of Summer was waiting for us. Bouldering, that is.

We got to Nine Corners in beautiful temps with dry cool air sitting in the forest. We started our warm-ups and finished up Can You See My Eyeball - V3 which has been a bit of a beta intensive project for me. Next we went down to Origin - V4. Although we failed to get psyched, so we headed back up to Thorazine - V8.

Thorazine was Ben's wish for the day and he worked it hard. The powerful problem works its was up a vertical seam on the 20 degree wall. After discovering some good beta, Ben made a lot of progress but was way to tired to finish up the problem.

We then headed back to the Ying Yang boulder and worked Power of Belief - V4 and Power of Pessimism - V7. Although no one sent, there was clear progress. We then played around on the cave wall for a little and mostly got shut down, before it got too dark Ben decided to climb a lichen-y, dirty, high angle slab in sneakers... Not the brightest member of our group but still... SEND!
