Yesterday and today, on the (very small) outcrops up the beach (it's all I have, but I have them to myself) about 20 minutes walk from the house along the beach.
Old photos (last year, as I have nobody to take pix of me bouldering). Depending on the tide and the way it deposits the sand, these outcrops can be 2-3 higher (or lower).
There is no rock in Wexford except Rocklands on the outskirts of town. A small crag (understatement) with a gorse approach and some stinging nettle but no poison ivy/oak. About 60 feet in height (if that), rock is okay but... it ain't Yosemite.

I'm waiting with bells on, Dr. Jefe. Meanwhile here's a couple old videos from Mariano's vault to move things along to the next page. They are not me in a recent bouldering sesh, but they show some historic local action. The first one is a kid from Balcarce, Christian "Segu" Segura, doing his first V8 (this problem was first climbed a few years earlier by another guy from Buenos Aires). Segu learned to climb in my home gym while I was laid up from hip problems. He recently put up a V13 on La Barrosa (one of three, I think) and has become one of the few Argentines (personally I know of only three other guys) to send that grade.

The next video is Fernando Cicconi climbing La Barrosa's second V11 (Mariano was mistaken, it was not a second ascent and the first V11 followed a different line out the roof). Later, Cicconi did La Barrosa's first V12.

Your all cleared for the next page jefe. The Milks are highly over rated but let's see what you got.

Wow cowboy- that's a beautiful boulder!
Hey Ruppell- not sure I think of the Buttermilks as overrated...
but I smell what you're cookin'.
I actually spent most of my time elsewhere this trip-
lots of less popular areas.
This video is from the "other" popular zone.

Nice edits Jefe, always stoked to see this thread and stuff from those that are still seshing.
Always wanted to check out the snapper, looks killer.
SIN = classic, but that goes without saying.

Great video Jefe. So cool.
Bravecowboy that is a sweet boulder. Are there climbs on it?
The stripes remind me of this one. Photo is a couple years old but I'm sure the boulder is still just as rad looking.

thanks for sharing all the goodies folks!
Friend, as far as I know from the lichen, portable handholds and the chockstone I cleaned, I was the first person to get on the striped one above. Mesa Verde sandstone. I did the 5.9ish wide thing and a simple but perfect hueco line up the back side. Plenty more on it for you bird-boned hook-nailed types :-)

Rethinking the carpetbombing tactic...
The Birchell Method™ might be better.
(it's a joke, survival...trying to lure you into your own thread :-)
So here's a few of the heathens I was honored to wrastle pebbles with and talk major shˇt about supertopos with:
Calling all Polesmokers 💈🍆🌽
Associates with known chipper, could be one himself ⚒⚒⚒
All about convenience 🔩⛓🔩⛓
Fanning the Flames 💨🔥🔥🔥
Never even heard of supertopos 🌮💩🌮👀
Seriously brothers- I value your friendship and loved hanging out with you.
And we didn't talk shˇt about anyone on the bouldering thread :-)

More quality stuff. Bliss aręte was the first climb I ever got on in California, right after a few weeks at Joes. Stellar for sure. No flash, no send, just falling at the top, tired, with holes in my baby skin. The crisp granite and technically demanding climbing there made for a humbling day after feeling like a hero on the cushy sandstone grades.
