Hubbard for the win! Man, your maps have helped me find all kinds of cool stuff over the years. Right on.
I'm going to head over this afternoon too. Hope to see you all.
"The hardest unclimbed hand crack on the hill" AKA 5.11- tight hands. Where is this on that topo?

Nice. Yes, Hubbard! Thank YOU!!
Asked my kid to take a complementary shot of me on practice boulder, and this is what I get.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm, I think we have some issues to work out.

Hey Chris, I don't see Vice Principal's Office on this...further down the north side? Also, there is/was a 3-4 bolt, 11c face down the east face from PHD...did you find that?

Woodson happens. Ran into some chaps with a penchant for the thin. Such a great day out.

^^^^^ Jeeze, I know. Almost makes it look like nothing is left to be discovered.
It was nothing too exciting for us Sunday. Warming Patty up on the slab. I've always liked practice boulder slab; waaaaaay back when, and now that I'm back. Great place to warm up the body and no effort to get to.
Thanks to some generous advise, I finally found my finger stacks.
Getting Patty (and myself) ready for IC in a few months.
Ran into some other people up there.
Anyone ever do the face of Milkbar? Seems like someone could do it, but for me, I got one move off the ground and could not make the next move. You can see that edge in the above pic. This next pic shows my start; left "edge" of the Milkbar face.

Before I forget - I think the amount of time and love required, to explore and document a written guide for areas like Woodson, is lost on most of us.
Many thanks for pointing the way for the pedestrians, Hubbard/etc. we all owe you several beers.

So much fun out there, always great to meet the members of ST! Skriedc, I think there are a couple face climbs on the Milkbar boulder, one being called "Ultraviolence"? Badass name. Gotta get back there and try 'em...anyone been on those?
Thanks to everyone for posting... let's keep the momentum going! MORE PICS!!! Hubbard just blew my mind right there.

Great start to the 2015 thread, thanks for all the pics and info. Erics face on east side of Robbins is a lot of fun I think.

Not much of an alpinist, mangus - he didn't even place that cam hanging from his harness.

Had the pleasure of bouldering Saturday with Johannsolo and Sunday with Hellcyon, Hubbard, et al. Perfect conditions, great vibes, and infectious motivation both days. Thanks again bros.
Hellcyon’s teasing photo/caption upthread caught my eye, and Johnny knew where it was, so we went over there Saturday. Apparently this crack was discovered fairly recently, hidden in the vicious Woodson undergrowth. Its working name was Size Matters. If anyone has climbed it prior to Saturday, let me know, otherwise I’d like to call it Henry’s Hand Crack. Locker hand jams... if you’re a six year old.
Here he is on Milkbar. Love you buddy.

Diego and I added a very nice low start to Hellcyon's Duck Squat problem. Quality.

Some problems from last winter.
Stuff Itt and Muff Itt are on the back side of the right most, smaller boulder. Pretty cool holds, barely more than darker colored blemishes, like pimping on melanomas. The skyline left of Muff Itt is Chickensh Itt, an unfinished problem. Better get back and hatch this one Henny.
If anyone knows if these are established problems with different names post here and I'll edit this. (Attn Ron Amick!)

Friend,
Love the pics, especially with the boy. Too cool. Hope you get to name that crack after him. I wonder how long before he catches up to you on the desperate fingercrack circuit?
All that said - not cool with the Baby Robbin's beta...how'm I supposed to get the TRonsight now?
;)

Nice problem names JW (the real one), or at least all except the one.
As long as we can see a picture that includes the head size there won't be any problems determining if it's the real one or an imposter.
