Steve Smelser and I were in josh on a truly wretched cold windy f-ed up weekend in the 80's once. I saw that 'tusi and wanted to ask him about that woodson place he had mentioned.
"Oh yeah that would be the place to be now. Did i ever show you the topos and maps I drew for it? Oh wait, I've got some xeroxes in the rig..."
He comes back and hands me a bunch of papers and writes down some more directions.
That was the key to new adventure, we were out of there in minutes on our way to a whole new world; Robbins, crucible, onsight of mother superior, all unlooked for when we split Phx the night before....

Bob, thought the same thing but apparently it's a Valley "phenomenon"...

Another great weekend at Woodson. Head first in the Bushes is a very good slab and hard(V5ish), I think definately harder than 11+(V3). I would die for you is also very good. Both took many tries.

yeah, head first in the bushes used to be a real favorite of mine. hard V5 sounds about right -- in perfect conditions. damn thing was impossible in the summer, even at twilight when things had cooled off a bit. the rock still radiated.
get any pics of it? i got nothin'.

I was there when Johnny did I Would Die For You...
"Intense or What?!" would be an understatement! Holds breaking off, screams of doubt, and then a cacophany of yells, hoots and hollers erupting; as Johnny stood with arms raised atop the boulder, his eyeballs protruding and neck veins distended; screaming in triumph after sticking the thing, all creating an atmosphere of electricity and jubilance!

I would die for you was one of my favorite boulder problems. I'd watch guys flail on that thing saying it was impossible. Then I would lace up my scarpa edging shoes and back step that small really thin edge and stand up. Just a right foot high step and it was over. I think it was rated 5.12?
