Yeah, repost of Starving.
Retropulsion is correct.
The other isn't really micro-edging, nor is it as hard as 11c. Don't pitch at the top though.
Edit: Nope, not Laker Girls. Use the hint - before Retropulsion on the way up.

Nope. A little downhill of the road, the problem has been around for a long time, it's passed right under while going somewhere else, and you've likely done it. Bolt on top, but since you pretty much need to do it to set it up (huh?), the bolt is more for getting off I think. Or send the bold one and then everybody mooches the free TR. I know... pretty hard to guess from that picture. I'll toss out the give-away hint next if those clues aren't enough.
I need help (obvious.) Is that picture of yours low or high on the mountain? Aaargh.

Most of road side of Woodson is city of San Diego open space,
and managed by the Black Mountain open space.
However the city has not ever actively done much, and is very difficult to even contact. The west side and lower north side is city of Poway at some point. Poway has taken the lead on trails in the area.
There was talk 10-15 years ago about transferring it all to the city of Poway.
SDMC means city of San Diego Municipal code.
It is not a new park so it is a good question whether something has changed.
TV screen is just past the new water tank, so maybe there is some boundary with a water district?
The state only owns a parcel at the base for the fire station.
You can see the boundary of the city of Poway in yellow here -

Oh, you talking about Greg's Face. Duh. That was actually gonna be my first guess before Control Tower, but I wavered.
The thing I posted is not far off the lefthand side of the road as you're walking uphill, above Robbin's, but below Mother Superior...
It's a great problem but never had a name, and I've only rarely done it with chalk on it. It's in a sweet but often overlooked little cluster of moderates. The idea of falling off the last move is unsettling due to the height and the landing, but it's by no means a "highball."
If you Chicken out on the last move, you can escape by grbbing the arete on the left.
Get it? "Chicken Out?" Heh. Might make a good name for that problem!

I was hiking up the day the sign went in. The vehicle passed me on the road, and the guy was pounding the post in when I walked by. I didn't question him though, not sure what purpose that would have served. But now all the inquiring minds want to know so maybe I should have. The sign is just past the drive to the big water tank, so maybe the boundary does have something to do with a water district. Don't know.
But hey, fishing IS still permitted with a license. So, you can still toss those ratings out there and reel 'em in, hook, line, and sinker. Assuming of course, that you actually do have the required license you'll even be legal.
Yeap. Greg's Face. How did the problem get that name? Is it related in any way to the famous home boy, or was his name taken in vain?
Chicken Out? Maybe I'm dense or something, but no, I don't get it.
So I'm supposed to name a problem that doesn't have a name? Right, got that part.

Well, OK, it sorta has a name, it's that face problem next to that really cool tower ith the bolt...
I honestly do not know the origin of the name Greg's Face. I think maybe for some reason I always assumed Greg Cameron.
Here's and even more revealing photo of that problem:

Better do it before it gets too hot.
Ron's track record says he's by far the best bet for organizing a great turnout. Just like last year.
We need to do it whatever weekend bvb goes for the top 100 candidates. And exactly when, pray tell, will that be Bob? We need to know in advance so we can plan accordingly. I can promise you that we'll all be abuzz over it.
Is the background arete worth while?
It doesn't get any easier than this:

If you guys decide on a get together soon, I'm going to have to pull off a miracle to get back into any worthwhile shape for I'm toast! But, I'd fly back in a heart beat just to be there with you all.
