Sandstone Crushz0rrz

BKB made it down south and is currently on a whirlwind tour through the big south destinations. I was able to break from the nerding and do a little climboiding. I hope to get out again before they depart early next week. That would be nice. Here are a couple shots from the few I did take. NEED TO CLIMB MORE.

More Sandstone

A couple shots from the other weekend at LRC.

Dave Failla on Mono Doigt v5


Initially, thinking of mono pulling was pretty much a turn off for me, but the pockets scattered up the face turned out to be vurr cool. I bet this thing climbs even better will cool temps. Juicing the first "mono" requires bearing down with the middle finger and stacking the ring and index finger (or whatever u can fit on top of it. You then get a high step on a gunksy pebble or start hold) and crank up to a smaller mono, then balancy move surfing out left to good pocket, jack up feet then either weird-extended-cross move to crimp rail or top out straight up via slopppperz. Like a Boss. A V5 BOSS. OHYAYER.


Now and Zen v6/7


Sharp left hand crimp and slightly less sharp right hand pinch to start. Right heel up on shelf then big move (for me) to accuracy-requiring-bastard-crimp. Adjust feet, catch small crimp out left then fun surfing via jugs to top. This thing was pwning me, kinda threw a wobbler, can't lie. Waaaahhh!!! Oh, bouldering...

asdfasdf. I am vicariously bouldering through blog. Hope there is climbing this weekend. HOLLAH!!

Micah on Southern Slang @ Suck Creek, TN.
This is a steeep, vur nice line climbing out the prow on INCUT CRIMPS, finishing with a big/long move out over the lip. soopacool. Good motivation to get stronger, hahaha.  Line reminds me of something from the northeast, atypical of the south.
