The rents and the congestion, it keeps the riffraff out.

Oddly enough I've never been to Pirate's Cove. Is everything still intact there? Most of the good problems at Boomer Beach have been surrendered to the sea.

Sandbag at V2 and height dependent, but there are plenty of other problems at that grade in Josh that are horrible, difficult grainfests that never get climbed. I'm looking at you, Satellite Arete or Mahogany or whatever you get called these days.

Thanks dudes.
Rick A, Craig Fry, Jefe, Friend, the Ross bros, anyone and everyone else who has posted.
So glad I started this thread, my faith in this place is quickly being restored.
Anyone want to buy some cams??
I need more pads and weed.

I like that some mention that favorites aren't always the best, but they have something special that keeps them in mind. This thread motivated me to go back to the hills on the way to work. Here are a couple more fun ones from today that have always stuck with me.
Fun OW practice unless your skin and technique are weak (me), then it's a fun lieback workout.
When I found this one I was alone with no pad and just climbed. Though pretty easy, topping out this problem was when I first started enjoying bouldering

this has to be my favorite that I have found. I think we put up ten or so problems on it but nobody has pulled the big roof. I think it may be the hardest Boulder to summit in the black hills as there are few boulders in the hills that overhang on all sides although there are many rocks in the needles which are essentially small spires.

Thanks, LC funny a lot of the stuff I did there probably hasn't had a second as it was outside of the established areas. I tried to get people to go over the years and took a few but I didn't try too hard. If you go let me know and I can hook u up with partners or beta but I no longer live there.

I have done that problem dozens of times and I can't for the life of me remember the name! My vote for best v3 at the Draw.
edit: it's called dope smoker.

This thing is gunna be Mega Classic. Should have been a better photog and got the top out moves.
The Mars Boulder. Steep, almost horizontal starting moves on tufa like granite, then turns into a crack at the lip, traverse left and ends with a fun mantle.
Ryan, those Squamish Problems look amazing. Here's my only sample of Squamish Bouldering.
I had to back off cause I didn't have a beanie on.

And in this vein, I offer up "Da Beach". When I lived in San Clemente this was the best, close, bouldering area within reasonable driving distance. I loved all those lines coming-out the cave, especially when the dry Santa Anas were blowing.

Alright, I busted out my Bishop book down memory lane. Always had the best time over there as my fingertips disappeared with each problem. Forearms too.
Sads
Strength in Numbers, V5. A little greasy and usually a group there, but early morning it's all yours. That rock is fun to fall on.
Maximum Relaxum, V3. I thought it was fun, but maybe because it seems the sads usually kicked my ass.
The next three were above my payscale but fun to work.
Los Locos, V7. Awesome moves, one I'd really like to get someday.
Lawnmower Man, V7. Has anyone done this? We were stumped on it, pretty much some good spotting was going on and that's it. I'd love to see some one do it.
Rio's Crack, V6. Another one that just made us look stupid. Painful fingers, f*#k it lets go to the happies.
happies
Think they have to be my favorite.
Solarium, V3. Sometimes I'd get it no problem, other times it was a struggle.
Grindrite, V3. Loved the holds and movement on it.
Big Chicken Sit start, V4. One of my first problems there.
Hulk, V6. Never could get passed the crux, but the bowling ball and toe hook to throw is way fun. Couldn't stop the swing though.
Cue Ball and Ketron Classic. Thought Bleached Bones was better than both.
Serengeti, V5. I guess people think it's soft, it is kinda a one move wonder, but my favorite of the area.
Milks
Green Wall Essential, V2. Just like home.
Birthday Direct, V3.
Hero Roof, V0. Nothing but fun.
Get Carter Boulder- Ruckas, Grommit, and To Kill ya Corner.
Lidija's Mouth V3.
Druids
Thunder wall is amazing.
Wish I was taking pics back then, but lucky I checkmated the guidebook, haha.
