I recognize that crack in your last photo darrel. but i cannot name it, don't really remember it, and certainly cannot place it on the mountain.

And you cannot possibly imagine ow much that irritates me.

bvb, Gary got it. 8.2 feet off the road, before you even get to the gate.

That's some textured orange rock, scuffy. So where is there orange rock like that? Nothing that small on Uncertainty and doesn't look right anyway, and Seminar would be sharp, awful black knobby single digit pimple thingies even if it was the correct color. I'm thinking, I'm thinking... It's probably some obscure crimp along side something fat, so I won't have a snowballs chance in Hades of recognizing it.

What's that photo with the black dot Darrell? The only "Black Dot/Spot" problem I know of is at Santee but it doesn't look like that.

And your photo Scuffy??????

Okay, I have a guess Scuffy...

The east face of Painted Boulder or the boulder south of it has some really textured rock like that.

After burning a few brain cells, I have a guess on your "fairly new" one too Henny:

HDTV

Edit: The texture doesn't look like HDTV though.

The crimp is just out of frame in the picture looking down at bvb on
the Klettergarten face. If he turned his head to the right, he'd be
looking at it. Klettergarten Knob?

Not HDTV. I can promise you it's at Woodson, and as the hint said it's a fairly recent addition to the mountain. Meaning, a lot of people probably haven't experienced it yet. Although there are a few who might recognize it, so I'll wait a little longer. (Eliot, Doug, Ron, maybe Mark, can't mention the other name.)

Yeah Scuffy, I knew your photo was of that same klettergarten problem. That diamond hard, ultra-textured, and still really bald, bright orange rock only pops up a couple of places on the mountain. Super good. I bet Darrel could find something that's never been climbed over there. There are some real futuristic shields.

Actually it sort of did have a name. We always referred to it as the "klettergarten face." Sort of generic, but hey, we had no idea who did it first and had to refer to it as something.

Oh right, warm-up boulders crack. No wonder I couldn't place it.

EDIT: Scuffy, OFF tok that photo? I think that's my hand.

dont make me come over there

Feb 21, 2012 - 11:48pm PT

yep, everybody listens to me, thats for sure, yoo betcha

Hennys endorsement boosts my status, however from "loud fat man of woodson" to "loud fat man of woodson who has famous friends"

Perhaps this elevated social standing will help my organizational efforts?

Lets give it a try.

Shall we shoot for the last weekend in march?

This is a peer thing people. Post a reply so your ovine colleagues will know its ok for them to reply too. For all of you (which is everyone except maybe my mom, and thats iffy) who are saying "if amicks involved i aint going near it" Remember, its hensels deal and im just the mouthpiece.
He may not even let me attend.

If yer up for the mob scene again, speak up so others know its happenin

I really wish this had come out in focus. Somehow it didn't. I think Ron knows this one anyway, taken at the top of the black spot problem.

The picture was of the black knob that signifies the end of the Vision crux.

Hensel's deal??? Last weekend in March, eh?

Oh man, one of my home made hangers on a 1/4" buttonhead bolt...gulp. I spent three straight days hanging from that thing and swinging around when I cleaned the carpet of potato chips off the vision... no backup anchor. I would now regard it as an A4 placement. Funny how things change.

DH - it aint gonna fly as amicks deal, we need name recognition from a respected woodson local (there, i said it). Perhaps your sidekick dimes would be willing to lend his star power to the cause as well?

I do better in a ticket-tearer, beer fetcher role.

sorry, just posting out loud.

aid at Woodson? Somebody point my aiders in the right direction!

Last weekend in March sounds good.

If it's blasting rain there (just anticipating jacked up weather season) we head to nearest northern bouldering area that is dry. Rubberdux, Josh, Black Planets, Bishop, in that order?.

It ain't gonna fly unless bvb shows. If he commits there shouldn't be any problem attracting the hordes, all who will be following him around with baited breath. We might even need one of those golf type dudes that holds up the "Quiet Please" sign when he steps off the ground. Although he's probably going to have to just suck it up and deal with being blinded by all the flashes popping off at the same time when he goes for the cruxes. Such is life when you're a legend.

If bvb commits, I'll see what I can do. I'll even ping the Mellonhead, who knows? Powell might be interested, I'll see. However, I'm not sure his walker can deal with terrain as steep as that road. Now if we could just figure out how to get Piggot to show. But first, is this for real Ron, or are you just messing with us? And of course, this all revolves around bvb being there. We pass the buck around faster than a hot potato.

Ron, funny thing. I decided your bolt makes the TR run slightly better at the top of Night Vision so I've used it as the main anchor the last couple of times I've been over there. Plus, it adds that extra dimension when you're soloing.

Yes, I backed it up. You kidding?

bvb, that is my hand in the photo by Off.
It's not on the same rock as you.
My recollection from Off is that the face you are on is Klettergarten Face,
and the rock to the right has the problem Klettergarten Knob.
My hand is on one of the starting holds. Ten feet from you? Five minutes
later?
