I was in WVA for bridge day and decided to sample some of the bouldering before leaving on sunday. Herb on the Breast Arete (V4/V5?)

Another shot from my weekend trip to West Virginia. Herb hiking The Breast Arete (V4/V5)

Set up my camera on a beanbag on another boulder. The route is a V0/V1 warm-up...i think.

V4, rendevous pic, just found, some are aware of the mullet, sure is NATURALly LIGHT!!!!!

Pat Goodman, all points off, at Hawk's Nest. Dynos are something that Pat proclaims he is not good at...looks pretty good to me. Photo: Wurst.

kirk enjoys being back home, climbing stellar rock and eating the world's best pizza.

The last moves of this 10b are somewhat pumpy.

Here is Gray on a boulder problem he made up near the dam.

New River, super fun lines and great setting...

Silly raft guide trying to boulder. That crash pad isn't going to do her any good.

Sending the excellent but short problem "Superflussig" at Hawk's Nest Dam, WV near the New River Gorge. It rained pretty hard the night before but some of the boulders were sorta dry. This is a short 2 move problem on one of the dryer boulders with a long surge or dyno to a sloping lip, then a hard match and an easier topout.

Warming up with Andrew from Earthtreks (photographer) at Hawks Nest in Fayetteville, West Virginia. This is a fun area to boulder - check out the falls in the background!

Nice little boulder at Hawks Next in Fayetteville, West Virginia. The topout on this problem was really fun - a flat ledge, high feet, mantle-kinda deal.

My buddy at school invited me to go bouldering at Hawks nest. I'm not sure what climb it was that i was on when the pic was taken. I'm told it was a v2 or v3. Not the best of pics, but it was one of my best memories bouldering. loved it.

First time bouldering outside of the gym. It was fun! We had so much trouble reading the topo's that we couldn't figure out which route was which, so we just bouldered on the ones that looked cool.

My attempt at being dynamic on a V4 at Hawk's Nest. Joel Yott is behind the lense and Mr. Kelly Collins is attentively spotting. . .

one of the few problems that were not underwater that day. two gates open on the damn makes for some wet conditions. we all had a great day anyway. nice to be back home.

george climbs a variation on the jaws boulder at hawk's nest. jay's spot insures that george won't fall between the two boulders at the problem's base. if that were to happen george would be going for a little swim.

so chris climbed the white eyebrow like...83 times that day (which is not even a record!). needless to say, everyone's arms were really tired from spotting so much. this, by the way, is not how we typically spot in fayetteville.
