Yeah, I still owe Donny a stack of barbs, it'll be a while before I'm anywhere near even. And he knows it. Beyond that though I think his memory must be failing.

San Diego Climbers respect renown photographer Greg Epperson, who of course, is talented and dedicated on stone, with or without a lens.
In the late 80s or early nineties, Greg was here to photograph at Smith Rock. I thought about how appalling it must have seemed to him and asked him over to our home for dinner after shooting him near the base of the Zebra. cheers all!

Henny, Woodson is an afternoon place. No matter how hot it is, shade and a breeze is always available in the late afternoon. I dont even bother to go up before noon in the summer.
Johann, the pic titled "woodson classic" that problem is called "stickmen". Good job bouldering it, the topout is pretty thin and the landing pretty bad. Did you check out "friendly fire" on the opposite side of the pinnacle?

Gary, what is that a picture of? I know I've climbed it, but don't remember the name. It was a long time ago. That's the beginning, and then the features thin, right?

Agreed, afternoon is usually ok, or I should say evening. But some problems that bake throughout morning/mid day, even after they go into late shade may never really seem to cool sufficiently. Typical, and not just Woodson. Early morning with rock cool from overnight can be an option. I tried that, just wasn't quite early enough.
ok, I'll stop complaining about the heat now.
Edit: I agree, looks like Go With the Flow.

That's Karl Mueller in the middle of Go With The Flow. Yes, it gets thinner at the top. Sounds to me Josh that it's been too long since you've been on this...go back out there and do it again! Everything at Woodson is worth repeating.

Yeah, Go with the Flow sounds familiar. My trips to Woodson are very binary. I'm either with beginners, and I can't do the hard stuff without being selfish, so I don't. Or I'm with my more experienced friends and we b-line it for the offwidths. I haven't spent much time on many of the harder face style problems out there, but would like to.

Go With The Flow is really good. And right below is Bad Boys From Detroit and Laker Girls, two pretty hard routes.

Hey Henny,
I do have some projects going on the hill...always lots of projects!
With that said, the only recent photos I have to share are of the Ogre.
Here's my buddy, Greg's, onsight attempt.
As for thinner stuff. I did manage to finally get on Airstream. No photos of course...it was at dusk and I was tr soloing...with little luck. I'd like to get back on it though.
Also I tried the short boulder problem (with the tips jam) that faces the road. It's on the same side of the road and right before airstream (as you walk up). Anyone know if it's been done? I'm pretty psyched on that.
Otherwise, not too much recent news. Eliot and I went to Jtree last weekend and are going again this weekend so that cuts into woodson time. We did walk by "Thin Red Line"...would love to hear the story about that ..if there is one.
