Rumney Bouldering: "From Good To Gourmet"
Просмотров 179Год назад
I established this problem in the Summer of 2019, then went several years without trying it, and finally decided to, barefoot. This problem is one of my top 3 hardest barefoot sends. Thanks to the crew for the psyche and the sends! Josiah, Adem and Kemal, all got the send!

Two new ones from May 2023. An extension to "From Good To Gourmet", and a line to the left of "Spirit Animal". This wall and slab took a lot of time and effort to clean up! Get out there and have some fun! Song: "Runaway" by The Blaze

Found on the same boulder as the classic, "Up in Smoke", the vert test piece, "The Big Crimp", now has a lower start. This extension adds a few cool hard moves and some footwork into the stand, which is around V4/6.

Pawtuckaway Bouldering: The Font Boulder
Просмотров 131Год назад
A handful of problems found on the delicious Font Boulder, in Blair Woods at Pawtuckaway State Park. This boulder has changed a lot since the forest was logged. The entire boulder was covered in plate lichen and moss. There are still several lines left unclimbed. This boulder has turned out to be one of the best boulders found in the forest, with a variety of problems ranging from V0 to one of ...

Stone Fort Bouldering: "White Walls" V7
Просмотров 148Год назад
One of the first boulders encountered when coming into the zone from the clubhouse. This boulder has some nice aesthetic features. This problem is powerful and delicate. The starting holds are sloping 1-2 finger pockets, the feet are smears, and the first move is full span for me. Not sure on the grade, but seems comparable with other V6's and V7's found throughout the crag. There was a large f...

A rarely done sloper compression problem. This one may look a bit silly, but it packs quite the punch.
Stone Fort Bouldering: "District 9" V6
Просмотров 157Год назад
The first known ascent of the tall towering arete found to the right of "Instinct" in the Back Nine. This problem climbs great and is sustained the entire way. the top out is a bit scary as well. The problem is pretty tight with the adjacent rock, but it didn't feel very dabby while being climbed.

      It's located at The Pound, which is unfortunately closed to the public right now, as it is private property and climbers have ruined the relationship with the landowner.

      That one is a hidden gem! Down the hill past The Roots and Moontower. Go past the parking for the Spring/ Moontower to the next parking pull off. It is up in the forest here along with a few others, including a highball dihedral called "Through Fire and Flames".

  • @1c3M0nk3y
    @1c3M0nk3y Год назад

    It's worth noting that most of the feet on this are blind, hidden little pockets shielded by underclings which adds another layer of trickiness to it. I couldn't figure this one out. The lines out right were pretty good worthy scrubs. I cleaned and sent the crack feature to the left of this and named it "Perception V2" Did a left start too. It was also super dirty and broke a lot of cursed bits. This is a good wall worthy of your time. Nice work Brad!

    Nice job! The landing is sketchy af lol. Do you know which problem is to the left of that skinny tree on the left side? Basically from the low horn to the hold you hit with your left hand at 0:56.

    • @Obscure_Climbing_and_Fitness
      @Obscure_Climbing_and_Fitness 2 года назад

      It is a V1 called "Tragic Inspirations". it starts on the low horn and climbs straight up. I also did another problem a few feet to the right, starting right hand in the diagonal seam. This climb starts off with a big move up to the rails on the second half of "Certiorari" and climbs into "Indicted". Seems to be slightly harder than the others, as finishing up "Indicted" after that intro, incorporates a hard tick-tack sequence. That one is called "Subpoena".

  • @_chrisclimbs
    @_chrisclimbs 2 года назад

    Nice one! Which of these are the best to do during the winter?

    • @Obscure_Climbing_and_Fitness
      @Obscure_Climbing_and_Fitness 2 года назад

      Matterhorn sits in the sun all day and is one of the last boulders in the field to get the rays, making it a great Winter project. Pulsating Core gets sun the first half of the day and has an easy approach and an easy way on top with a juggy lip, making that one a perfect Winter boulder too. Stopping the Flow of Time is similar and snow would be good for the landing, but the boulder itself is large making it likely for icicles to form on the roof lip. From Good to Gourmet is shaded all day, and snow piles up on the roof exit making it one of the last climbable problems, likely not until April unless the landing is shoveled.

    • @_chrisclimbs
      @_chrisclimbs 2 года назад

      Thanks for the tip! I’ll have to try Matterhorn soon.

  • @Eddysamson1

    • @Obscure_Climbing_and_Fitness
      @Obscure_Climbing_and_Fitness 2 года назад

      Agreed! I thought at least 7 or 8 for sure, then Charlie unlocked some hand flip beta and it seems to dial it back a bit, but still stiff for the grade.

    • @Obscure_Climbing_and_Fitness
      @Obscure_Climbing_and_Fitness 3 года назад

      Did right arete from sit a few years back. There is also one with same start as these then busts right to the arete. Probably a grade easier. That one is "Quartz Adjourned", Jesse Garlick FA, then I added the full sit later.

    • @Obscure_Climbing_and_Fitness
      @Obscure_Climbing_and_Fitness 3 года назад

      I was thinking you could do Certiorari backwards into either exit!

    • @Obscure_Climbing_and_Fitness
      @Obscure_Climbing_and_Fitness 2 года назад

      Several months ago I did climb "Certiorari" into "Indicted". It opened with a big heel hook move and made the end slightly harder. Probably the hardest of the three. Probably around V5 or V6.
