I should have looked closer at Rick's photo before doing that last mantle for I "might" have been a bit faster on it's success! Then again, he probably didn't use any face holds, like I found, either.

Jay, did you ever get down to see Undertow? I'm trying to get Pamela Shanti out here to lead that thing, that'd be awesome to see!

Nice Gary.
The 5.10 rating on that mantle is a total sandbag for sure!
Yeah...I just "chicken winged" the primary holds.
Right hand pull/left hand press. No feet.

Rick, doing it the way I ended up doing it, finding that face hold out left, brings it down to 5.10 easily, without it, well the video tells all. Then again, I feel like a sack of potato's these days and I'm dealing with a chronic inflammation in the right forearm to the elbow right now. Even so, I think it's the "sack of potato's" that's the culprit. I know, I know, excuses excuses. It sure was beautiful that day though, as you could probably tell.

Great job on Death Vomit Johnny. I guess when youre a mantle geek (like me and Rick were) you try to mantle everything. Kudos.

I'd like to see more pics/videos of the classics, as well as of those on the harder end of the scale, for a good picture doesn't have to be of something difficult. Most of those visiting Woodson go home with memories of "logging mileage" in one of the top bouldering areas in the nation as opposed to "crushing" up on the hill.

Watusi, here's a couple of pics of the problem mentioned a few posts earlier. The leap knob is the obvious brown one straight left of Johnny's hand. In the picture it looks like one could just lean out there somehow, but the geometry of the boulders isn't quite what it appears.
The landing, if bouldering it, is less than stellar (IMO).
Started out as a good one today, then dumped early/mid afternoon and never stopped. Oh well. Did go by and eyeball the Fallen Gypsy for the first time but the rain and running water pretty much precluded even the wildest pipe dream of trying it. Looks quite good to me. Out of curiosity, whereabouts did the hold break off?

I know this is off topic, but it's something I ran across while doing my previous post and I though people might find it somewhat interesting. This is the result of a lightning strike that happened the day before the picture was taken. Powerful. Note the spear stuck in the ground just left of the tree. The spinters, some quite large, were strewn for a couple hundred yards in all directions and several were embedded point in.
When returning back past the tree we saw another one, almost identical in appearence only a short distance away. Maybe a single bolt forked and did them both at the same time?
OK, enough drift, back to Woodson.

Did you guys start pulling these pictures out of your closets or what?! These are great, gotta lov'em! "Soloflex"...never knew it had a name. That's the prob you are doing, no Ron? I videoed that one as well but it was in the shade and left it out. I also tried the mantle at the end of the Hamburger Crack boulder but got shut down. I USE TO DO THAT THING, DANG IT! Sack o' potatoes I'm tellin' ya!
