Last day of the year, 2009 Rich played hookie from work, and I had the day off. What else would we do but go climbing?
I wish all boulders in CO were this close to the parking! We went up to Eldorado canyon where I had not yet had the pleasure of bouldering... We started out on the Gill Block... which was absolutely FREEZING, but had fun doing a couple easier problems for warming up purposes.
From there we headed up into East Draw to give Rich a few goes on his mini-proj. Pig Dog.
He had the thing wired from a previous session, and sent in a couple-three goes. NICE WORK DOOD!!!!
By totally ignoring Rich's well-thought out and well-executed beta, It took me several goes to figure this thing out and send. I'm totally psyched. It was a lot of fun!
After our sends, we messed with The Infinite for a bit and got it mostly figured out before having too sore tips to pull out a send. We both did the warm-up thing to the right of pig-dog and called it a day.Good to be out pulling, and good to squeak one last new tick in before the New Year!

noice!
next time you go back, check out a line i put up between pig dog and the infinite:
do pig dog start, eventually get the sinker RH pocket of infinte w/ your LH and lock off to gain the sloping edge as a gaston up high... bring up foot and use heinous undercling crimp to stab lip. needs a bit more cleaning at lip, but it is a cool power line.
also, further up trail and on the left in some trees before you crest the main hillside there is another block hidden in the trees with v5-7 lines on it and some less classic, but still ok projects.
then further up from there 10 minutes are the matron boulders!
Justin... your psyche for climbing seems to steadily increase ALWAYS. At what point does it (or did it) reach a dangerous level?
Should I be worried to stand next to you as your head could explode from climbing psyche?
