Buttermilks ---- yes again...

So I went from exclusively climbing at the Table Lands to the Buttermilks - Its been a bit hot...

So I had a happy day at the Milks.. - that's for sure - after warming up on:

Sheephearder (V2) - WoAH - what a cool slab - and like 40 feet from the car =) - ok so its totally a slab problem - lots of balance - and a high ball - it gets a highball rating- but really, its pretty chill...lots of balance - you press up - move up, traverse right, and then climb up again - lots of climbing fooshizzle.

I did another Lap on Birthday Direct (V3) - this time - climbing it almost completely static - one dynamic foot move. I've gotten much stronger since I've come here...

Then I went to my project - Iron Man Travese (V4) and totally did it first go!!!

I went and tried:

Bowling Pin (V4) - so a jug broke on this one - there's now a bad crimp where the jug used to be - but the crimp is good enough and I don't think its "enough" harder to be V5 - this one is really good - techy moves up a slightly steep face - lots of different ways to do it...I tried it twice by myself in the morning - missing the pad both times - then ended up coming back later in the day and sending it =)

I tried and totally got my ass kicked on:


x Fly Boy (V6) steep face - good holds - all facing left - you traverse left using some balancy and crappy feet...then you get two left facing jugs, decent feet and FREAKING THROW... yah - I didn't even make it to the throw...

So we decided to drive over the the "Get Carter" boulder - pretty much a boulder all by itself down the road - you park right next to it. Its a cool boulder - it has a bunch of good problems including Seven Spanish Angels (V6) - lots of huge SLOPERS - very gym like - to a jump for a jug....kinda cool - I just finished uploading that video and will post it soon.

I did another problem several times - and also shot photos of Julia on it:

Sunshine Naked (V0) - kind of ambigious - but cool plates up the Get Carter Boulder.

we went back to the main area - and I did Bowling Pin as mentioned above - then went to the King Tut Boulder - WOAH DUDE! What a cool boulder!

I shot some pics of Julia on Milk the Milker and did 3 problems, 2 being amazing and 1 freaking awesome!!!

***King Tut (V3) - This one gets the FREAKING AWESOME - balancy slabby and techy - woah dude!!! A bit soft for the grade I'd say...

** Ay (V1) - techy - cool holds.

Howad Carter (V0) - SHARP! the only one of the three that I didn't onsite - infact - it took like 5 goes for this one!!! Maybe I was just hosed...

and that was it...
