On the way to work this morning? I was there at 1400 till only 1600 and it was a ghost town. Temps were nice and cool but I felt like crud. Saw Andrew and Kathy at Lizard Crack where Andrew was doing laps on it as usual. Btw, Andrew has been inquiring as to what has happened to the wood "ladder" that has been the access to Seminar Wall's anchors for many years? He told me the original recently disappeared so he constructed another, and now that is gone as well! Can anyone share any details as to why/how this is happening?

Here's your culprit p-owed...
"Saturday early 7am hike, Mt Woodson from Lake Poway.... meet M. Fry of the Fry Koegel Trail
The highlight of the hike was Mike Fry deftly interweaving history, info and anecdote about trail maintenance and plantlife at Mt Woodson."

Thin Red Line is the name given to the climb by Ron Fawcett. It had his single TR ascent before we did it as a lead. The feature mentioned is actually a faint thin red dike that splits the wall, cool feature. Typical JT grain is right, it would be more classic if it were a little more solid.
Hopefully we're going to see some Woodson trip reports and pictures from this weekend...

Was American Gypsy and now Fallen Gypsy. Looks kinda crappy but have not tried it. I'll be up on the mountain in the morning. Bring it on.

The dyno problem looks like "rough boys". We thought it was 5.12, dont know what V rating that is.
JW appears to be on "KP's demise", masters of the universe.

Fallen Gypsy is 5.12+
Here's a comment and beta from Andrew when I text him about it tonight:
"Have you seen it done? It requires a gypsy move."

Thanks for the names Ron, I thought that was maybe KP's Demise. The dyno felt around V4/5. Kinda funny that I was just climbing with KP and Hensel up on the South Face of Suicide on Friday. I'm off for the over two hour drive down to Woody. See ya'll down there.

A few random Woodson pics:
For anyone out there who hasn't yet been to Woodson, I can guarantee that you won't be disappointed (even if you may get spanked!).

Great thread. Nice to see some of the newer (for me) problems. They look amazing.
Henny- Loved the story about "Thin Red Line". I'll bet those last moves are not by any reasonable standard "pretty easy, really." Hensel and JW both are gripped by them? Please.
Gonamock mentioned "Control Tower", a boulder I almost forgot about since its been 30 years + since my last visit to Woodson. I remember being up there by myself and thinking about coming back and top roping it. I ended up going up for a look and the moves never got too hard. Anybody done it? I remember it as being about 5.10.

Ricky, I would say your overdue for a return visit to Woodson.
Josh, I just read your Tasmania Totem Pole TR. Good stuff. That would have to be a memorable route. Sea cliff climbing is pretty cool, it's so diffent than our standard fare in the states.
OK, I need (really need) to know the story behind the name "KP's Demise". Gonamok? Reign1? Anybody? Any useful information would be greatly appreciated (hehe).

Allenby (deepnet)cranking the B2 roadside mantle
Death Vomit is the Allenby statement "Crank THIS". Yeah I "worked on" death vomit with utter futility. That thing is one of the most hideous cranks Ive ever felt. I wonder if its had a repeat? B2+ for sure.

No way, is that that roadside boulder just down the road from Seminar Wall that has that gritty, rounded protrusion over the road?!!

For those of you who are still heading out to Woodson, what areas have been "tagged" with spraypaint? I know about the Baby Robbins/Jaws area already. Anything else? I'm hoping to get out there in two weekends with some friends and some environmentally friendly paint remover and I am wondering if there's another area I should hit if we have time.
Thanks,
Josh
