Nice pyrosis.
Stoked to get back to Groom Creek myself.
Here's a few oldies from Hueco...because I was just there and was digging for proof to show to my crew of younger boulderers.
And one from two weeks ago when I f ucked up a tendon

drljefe, the texture is pretty darn good; rough that any of our local sandstone, but I don't get sore for ne'er skn unless I really work at it. The cracks tend to be fairly gnarlyas far as the texture/ bottoming ratio. One really good feature is that unllke any of the local sandstones, it drys out almost right away!
And Larry has indicated that Slack digs it!!

Andrew, I'll send you a map here real soon. Upper section is 10d, the lower is 12+ I'm guessing and beyond me!
To link the 20 feet would be something!

Good eye! No pad needed after clearing about a ton of dirt and rocks.

Here's a bunch of randos from the last couple months.
Not sure if I've posted them already and frankly,
I don't care! :-) I'm injured!

Well, my four month bouldering cruise is coming to an end,
and I sure as hell was not gonna spend my last week of freedom sitting at home with anxiety and a bum tendon.
So I headed up to Prescott to test out the finger. At the very least I'd get to sleep outside and wander around some of my favorite places.
Prescott is where I really developed as a climber and Groom Creek is where I found my lifelong love of bouldering. It's such a great boulder garden- tight grained granite, heavily concentrated, and a long and rich heritage.
I realized pretty quickly that my finger was not ready, so I mainly just palled around with my new friend Paul. He's exactly half my age, and a true lover of Groom Creek, so it was cool for both of us.
He digs the history and I get stoked seeing how strong the new gen is. I don't really think of myself as old school, but to these kids me and my crew were like the stonemasters or something. They're envious of me being there at a time when plums were for the picking, but I try to tell them that the golden age is now. It never stops, especially with their skills. New hard problems are still being found, and Last Great Problems are being sent.
The continuum in bouldering, and of an area, is super cool and it's rad to see it played out in a place I love so much.
One day out it was me: 46 w/FAs of established classics, Paul: 23, local, and current double digit FAist, and Sam: 16, strong as f uck and crushing through all the classics. Super cool to be out with these guys, even if it made me feel older and weaker than I am!
Here are a few views of Charles in Charge, a classic first done by my friend, seconded and named by me, considered a classic now.
From 1995
I ran into some students that I'd met in JTree last year and turned them on to a few good ones.
Prescott is surrounded by millions of acres of NF and tons of rock.
So we spent one day exploring.
Man, if we'd had Google Earth back in the day!!!!
Unfortunately that ^^^^ was my las climbing for a while.
On the descent I nearly ripped a few fingers from my hand, including the already injured one.
That's what I get for butt scooting down a few teepee poles leaned up against the rock.
Gore warning
Oh well.
It was nice to get some firsts, repeat some classics, and make some friends.
It's back to work for me now- good time to heal up and do a million sit-ups!
Peace!
