so, last Saturday was my first time down to the gunks. i started climbing in october 07, and so i spent all winter in the gym. last Saturday's trip was unreal. i sent andrew's in about 5 tries and gill egg in maybe 3. so my question is.. for bouldering, any recommendations? something to work on in the 5/6 range, or other good 4's?
ps- baby hole is a piece of doo-doo. eww.

thanks,


levai

I haven't worked any 5s or higher, but have you tried the lorax? in my limited exposure bouldering at the gunks, i found that's a really good problem. it's a V4, but you might enjoy it. it's right near the steel bridge.

Going to the gunks to boulder is like going to a strip club to read playboy....

I got a suggestion for ya. Do it without a crash pad. Then you can say you sent a problem. Where's the commitment if you know you're not going to hurt yourself. Do the Andrew boulder without a crashpad and you will think twice about making the moves before you do it.
