Study Break

There's nothing better than sending a mini proj. during a study break between finals. As rare as it it is, I was able to go bouldering in DECEMBER in Olympia. I braved the cold(handwarmers in bag) and made my way out to skookumchuck. The hillbilly boulders were dry so I grabbed the pad and got to work on the last hard line on the boulder. It starts with a pistol grip for the right and you go to a slopey crimp for the left. Then you get a heel on the pistol grip, move your right hand to an undercling then shoot out with the left hand to a micro crimp. From here there are a few strenuous crimp moves to a mantel in a little scoop, top out and pump fist! It was good to be able to climb outside so late in the year. I also checked out another cliff band that yielded a few good crimpy boulder problems. I'm heading out there today for a little scrubbing and(hopefully) sending! So grab your brushes and get scrubin...(theres plenty of moss/dirt/choss/shrubs for everyone) -jimmy The proj is (Kill the Hippie V7ish SDS)
