Has anybody got some cool problems that are way different. There is this 25 foot slab that is like 5.7 but one problem up it is you need to get a running start jog up 10 feet of it then just paddle all four limbs to the top. you have to be in tenis shoes and no chalk either. Another fun one is in bishop at the granpa peabody boulders. Its called the womb. You start out in this huge waco sitting down facing the left. With your right hand reach out over the buldge and grab this little crimp then work it out. If you miss then you get spit out of the waco and end up on your side realizing why they call it the womb. :roll:

There was this one video I saw once (with that one guy on that one problem) that was a single (V12???) sideways dyno to this pair of huge huecos right next to each other. The climber flew off the starting holds, managed to stick his hand into the first hueco to catch on its far wall and arrest his movement, and then snagged the other hueco as he swung back. One move wonder, indeed.
But really....I'm sure a few of you have seen this....what's the problem/climber?? :?

The Devil's Butthole at Hueco is fairly unique--to say the least. Do it in the original style--flashlights are off-route.

Caveman in Jtree (at least, that's what i think it's called)
It's basically a roof problem that goes from one side of the boulder to the other via a tunnel beneath it.

The Holey One, V2, Niagara Glen - climb through a big hole
I think the v13 dyno is 'feder' in dresden, germany. Thomas Willenberg sent it in Inertia 2.

There's one called Birth Simulator in Hueco. I think it's on the free Hueco video.
Personally one of the oddest I've done was the Walrus in Joe's valley. I literally was flopping up the top like a walrus. Kick the legs and hop the body. Also Jump Chump in J-Tree is pretty cool.

Birth Canal at Lover's Leap. Depending on your size you can use breathing in and out to do body jams as you worms through the offwidth.

I'm still not sure if it qualifies as a boulder problem, but it is relatively famous - the Berkely Library traverse . . . I think it has shown up in a few bouldering vids.
I'll second the "womb" I though it was actually called "a Birthing Experience" at the Buttermilks, but either way it was a hilarious little problem! So fun to see climbers of all different abilities have the same problem getting out of the womb!

There are no specific problems, but at summersville lake it is fun (and refreshing on a hot day) to swim out to some of the boulders that are like 50 ft out in the water and just try to climb where you can. The best part is jumping off the top after you send a problem :mrgreen:
