Summer is definitely here...

Since my last post I have doing battle with high temps close to Boulder. It's frustrating to feel the air warm up to the mid-60s or 70s by 7 am. This is making closure on Mongolian very difficult as the first move is no longer the crux but is just one in a series of struggles to not slide off the holds. I am hoping for success on Thursday but no guarantee.

I talked with Boulder OSMP about the graffiti on the back side of the amphitheater and a crew may be headed up there to sandblast it off. Went down to Beer Barrel this morning after I was done with MC and was looking at the wall left of the SW corner. This looks really difficult, i.e. V10 or so, and is only referred to as a Chris Jones problem on Mountain Project. Anyone know for sure what's up?

  1. Peter, Ben Greenwood has done that 'Chris Jones' problem a bunch and I believe he calls it V8. There is a good little slot you bump for right handed. Left of that are two versions that Colin did going up the gastons and dynoing up left to the lip. He called those V7, I think. They might be on MP.
