went out to Stoney today. Ground, and rock were dry; warm temps also.
One of my favorite problems(bitd) was the center of the north face on the Pyramid boulder. It used to go at V0. Someone has enhanced the holds. This thing is barely a problem anymore. Sad.
If you can't climb the problem, stay home or find something within your skill level. I've backed off many a problem because of that. I didn't come back with a chisel.
sorry for the rant.

manufactured hold makers suck!
i like those mantles on pyramid boulder.
i remember earlier this year we caught some kid taking chips with a chisel out of boulder 1. i asked him why?.... he said he wanted to make a foot hold just to get to the top of boulder one.
chipper's suck azz!

stony is a fine place, and it's great to have a guidebook for it, work out your favorite problems and circuit and know the history of it.
however, i've had some time on my hands lately and have been exploring, just for the hell of it and also for want of weekday partners, the rest of the santa susanas and venues in the santa monicas and elsewhere in ventura county. i can't believe the amount of unexplored, unclimbed or very sparsely climbed rock out there. of course, none of it compares to climbing at tahquitz, josh or the sierra. most of the rock is as crummy as stoney, some is worse, some is better. but if you've gotten used to the pleasures and dangers of santa susanna sandstone, it's good to get out a bit and broaden your perspectives. stoney can be such a fishbowl.

But Tony, we go to be in that fishbowl. Swimming around with all of our friends.
Yesterday afternoon the clouds broke up and the sun came out and everyone showed up a boulder 1. It was great and many hard problems were attempted or done. Just what a community crag is all about.

sh#t I was just headed out to climb & it started to pour.
Sat. in the fishbowl - watching two of the best work
& push everyone forward.
I've paid good money to see lesser athletes with big echos do less.

Well, I happened to walk around the big rock out in the open by the road while the older of those two guys were there. It was just as it started to rain or I would have hung out and possibly introduced myself.
As it was I ended up talking to some folks TRing the big gash in the main wall facing the road, then went up top and back down the other side. Jumped on a top-rope for a moment that a guy named Jerry and a bunch of youngsters had set up on an overhanging face with a bunch of pockets on it.
All-in-all a fun place - sure beats the hell out of not having it there. Is the candy cat a boulder or climb?
