| BetaBase |: 6-28-12: Goldilocks
http://betabase.blogspot.com/2012/06/6-28-12-goldilocks.html
Bouldering in Yosemite, Tahoe and beyond. Thursday, June 28, 2012. Raza on the first ascent of Goldilocks [v9]. Here is a blast from the past. I got the FA in May of 2009. This is a problem in Bridalveil facing the Meat and Potatoes wall. Not many holds, but just enough to get you by. (You can say that about many Yosemite boulder problems, though) It all boils down to a dyno to a decent edge, but you have to grab the hold just right,. Hence the name: Goldilocks. Here is Randy Puro on the second ascent.

One More Go!: June 2011
http://1morego.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 18, 2011. Experienced a minor set back on April 25th while warming up at the gym. It was Yosemite Fitness's last week in business and my plan was to train hard all week. While warming up on the boulder, I took an awkward fall injuring my right knee. A trip to the orthopedic surgeon and subsequent MRI would confirm a torn MCL, ACL and meniscus. Everyone at Clovis Community was awesome and Simonian and his team are the BOMB! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Musings of Abbie: April 2008
http://abtastic518.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
My random thoughts and adventures. Tuesday, April 1, 2008. My knee has been bothering me so I'm taking a 2-3 week hiatus from running. Kind of sucks. I've been biking a bit, but mostly just being worthless. EXCEPT for rock climbing :) We went to Tram. A couple weeks ago and it was all snowed in. You can see my and Eric's adventures at Eric and Jeff's blog - East Side Bouldering. There is some pad sledding videos and some actual bouldering. And no, I'm not touching the snow.

http://betabase.blogspot.com/2015/01/1-21-15-rift.html
Bouldering in Yosemite, Tahoe and beyond. Wednesday, January 21, 2015. Lyn Barraza climbing The Rift, v8. Happy New Year, here is one of the better new problems put up in Yosemite recently. Put up last year by Southern Nevada Bouldering guidebook author Tom Moulin, The Rift follows and obvious rib facing the road on one of the "Big Three" boulders at The Crumbs. And while it is not as direct at the original problem, the start moves are fun none-the-less. Strong and smooth as ever, Lynn!

Bouldering in Yosemite, Tahoe and beyond. Tuesday, November 18, 2014. Randy Puro on the first ascent of Raggedy Anne [v9] circa 2009. GPS: 37.745344, -119.562619. Hey guys, maybe slightly off topic but I was recently at orange fever and Im very curious about the starting sequence. Any info would be great. Also, whats the line to the left of Tom Sawyer? Start Orange Fever on a sloping block down and right of the main angled rails. Most use a heel hook to get started and go left-left to the good rail.

AnJClimbing: July 2009

The Adventures of Anthony and Jessica Allo-Send-A. Thursday, July 16, 2009. Piere Tendre FA Video. Piere Tendre, V8. So, last summer I had cleaned a few lines at the Sierra Grandstand Boulders, up on Sonora Pass. One of them was a strange little face/blunt arete that called to me from the moment I found it. The line presented a challenge, in my back yard, and it had all of the properties that I look for in a line. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Http:/ eastsidebouldering.blogspot.com.

AnJClimbing: December 2008
http://anjclimbing.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
The Adventures of Anthony and Jessica Allo-Send-A. Monday, December 15, 2008. This weekend saw nothing but rain and snow in Sonora. Totally deflated, Lance, Dan, and myself decided to head out to Knights Ferry for a day of revenge. About 2 years ago when I first started bouldering I found a small boulder with a nice line on it. After a full day of cleaning it , I called up Paul Behee. All the rain in Sonora brought back memories, and the TC crew was soon on the move! How good it feels to do something, on...

Bouldering in Yosemite, Tahoe and beyond. Tuesday, November 18, 2014. Randy Puro on the first ascent of Raggedy Anne [v9] circa 2009. GPS: 37.745344, -119.562619. Monday, November 10, 2014. Paul Barraza on the first ascent of Cerberus Right [v9] circa April 2009. The problem is located on the Horse Trails in the general area between Kauk Face and Raggedy Anne. It is up the hill from the trail, so it may take a bit of hunting around. Well worth a search. For the less adventurous types here are...And there...

Bouldering in Yosemite, Tahoe and beyond. Tuesday, November 04, 2008. Lyn Verinsky on Scott Frye's Army [v8]. Behind such notable climbs as Hero. And Zero, hides another good problem called Scott Frye's Army. It starts on a blunt arete and climbs up a spartan face in classic Yosemite style: crimpy and technical. The first move sets the tone: a desperate slap from two bad side-pull slopers to a good edge. While the hard climbing is mostly in the beginning, it never really lets up, either.

Sicky Gnar Gnar: All About The Beta
http://sickygnargnar.blogspot.com/2009/11/all-about-beta.html
Now you know, and knowing is half the battle. Thursday, November 5, 2009. All About The Beta. Days like yesterday make me really realize that I'm just not that talented of a climber. I'm cool with that but wow, we had another fantastic day for the lake with me sending absolutely nothing. Nic came through town on his way to Horsepens 40 for the Triple Crown. Along for the ride was Jeff Sillcox. From Mammoth Lakes. Poor Jeff flew into Minneapolis and had to drive down to Alabama with a hyperactive Nic.
