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.

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.

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.

Crimped Climbing: Berkeley (12/8/07)
http://crimped.blogspot.com/2007/12/berkeley-12807.html
Monday, December 10, 2007. Headed out to Berzerkley for some messing around on some rocks. I saw Mark, Ben (two of em ;) , Gabi, Simon and a whole bunch of other people who would otherwise be in the valley :). We warmed up on indian rocks, doing a whole slew of the eleminates on the steep wall where the bubble resides. I almost got this cool huge dyno that was fun and did a few of the other problems.

Bouldering in Yosemite, Tahoe and beyond. Monday, April 21, 2014. Joel Ruscher on Single Subject [v9]. After a bit of a hiatus, Joel Ruscher is back in the game. A few weekends back, Joel nabbed the first ascent of this cool squeeze arete. As you may have gathered from the name, the climb is deceptively simple, and you feel like you could stick the pinch every go (until you don't). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
