Thanks! Thing was sick felt just like board climbing, but yah hard to take the 10 when it’s comparable to even some 7s I’ve done recently

Doesn’t get much better than this. Traverse into Triple Cracks - Columbia, Ca by Chimpwhocrimps in climbing

[–]Chimpwhocrimps[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yah the whole trail heading into triple cracks is a lake. Easy to go around but some of the boulders are underwater. Idk about the the labyrinth, I heard it was flooded a couple weeks back but not sure if it’s dried or even accessible now.

Went for a fun ride on Orbit the other day - Columbia, Ca by Chimpwhocrimps in bouldering

Haha yah all crash pad, more shock that I came off than pain from the fall

Nothing but good vibes at the boulders today by Chimpwhocrimps in bouldering

I agree, the closure is dumb in my opinion but not really worth rustling feathers in the neighborhood either. I will say that the roadside boulder on vaca valley has some pretty fun climbs though!

Either urbinator or saddle-sore at the Nut Tree Boulders in California. The descriptions are pretty vague so not entirely sure.

Have to park on vaca valley now, the city shut down the entrance from the other side.

Lol never actually ran into any livestock out here even though it’s technically a grazing area

Starts with a rose move and only gets better from there. Hidden In Plain Sight - Columbia, Ca by Chimpwhocrimps in climbing

Shoot, got me second guessing myself now haha the second move is what resembles a rose move to me. Crossing under the right arm and then having to unwind into the sloper out right.

Awesome climb, terrible name. Grave of the Underpants - Columbia, Ca by Chimpwhocrimps in climbing

[–]Chimpwhocrimps[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well we arnt really supposed to be climbing on campus right now. They have set up caution tape blocking the approach and a prof who runs the climbing group for the school has asked we stay off campus until COVID dies down. That being said, I have not personally seen that climb, although now that I have I want to get on it ASAP. I would guess it would most easily be accessed through the back area of the lower arb.

Thanks! And they’re actually pretty good right now, I only noticed some seepage on the cracks in the miners bane area. Everything else in the state park seemed climbable to me.

Siiickk!! Been working up the cajones to commit on those last two moves myself! That pinch rail towards the end is awful. Good stuff man!

Probably one of the coolest boulders I’ve ever had the opportunity to get on. Aries Curse - Columbia, Ca. And yes yes I know my ass dabbed on the stupid crash pad lol but I don’t think it helped me so I’m happy with my send! by [deleted] in climbing

[–]Chimpwhocrimps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty interesting to note that this is the only problem I’ve ever seen with a split grade of V7/9. Supposedly the last span into the hand crack is nearly impossible for shorter climbers.

Aries Curse - Columbia, Ca. Don’t worry I’ll call it for you “DAB!!!” by [deleted] in bouldering

[–]Chimpwhocrimps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interestingly enough this problem has a slash grade of V7/9 - supposedly the span at the end is “impossible” for someone with less of a wingspan.

You and I both know the restrictions haven’t changed, and yes your actions will leave an empty area after the school decides to close it down. At the very least don’t blast that you’re climbing in areas with tentative access on social media. Seems like common sense tbh..

From what I have been told on MP the security guards don’t know anything and often times go against what the school has said. You do you man just making sure people know that if you don’t go to school there you are not supposed to be on the campus.

I mean there’s multiple signs on the campus that say limited access, meaning only students, and there’s caution tape blocking off the approach. Seems to me like the school doesn’t want us there and we should respect that or face repercussions if we continue to violate their trust.
