Prickles & Goo: Wonderstuff failed attempts.
http://pricklesgoo.blogspot.com/2009/05/wonderstuff-failed-attempts.html
Wednesday, May 13, 2009. Here's a video Shawn made of me on wonderstuff 5.12d. It's supposed to be soft for 12d, but it's still relatively unfathomable for me at this point. I think this one is going to require some, gulp, training. Don't know if I will, or what that would entail. Cardio? Less bacon on the weekends? Too bad it's now a bajillion degrees in Vegas, so I might have to wait until autumn for a good try again. Back to Mt. Charleston for some drilled limestone pockets. FEEDJIT Live Traffic Map.

Prickles & Goo: LRC and HP40
http://pricklesgoo.blogspot.com/2013/03/lrc-and-hp40.html
Wednesday, March 6, 2013. This is some super tardy content from November of last year when i took a few days to go bouldering in Little Rock City and HP40. The entry sticker for LRC.Thanksgiving Weekend conditions were almost perfect. A little cold in the mornings and warm in the sun. Some of the crimpy problems in LRC did get greasy though. Takako on Pocket Pool v4. My lunch. Jam with Justin's chocolate hazelnut butter. Probably better than creatine monohydrate. V6 The Wave - Flash. V4 - Mystery Groove?

Prickles & Goo: So Sad.
http://pricklesgoo.blogspot.com/2011/01/so-sad.html
Monday, January 10, 2011. Sunset over the Sierras as we drove away from the Volcanic Tablelands. Rio's Crack.: Wow that was desparate thanks to zero feet. Do anything you can to get to the first sinker crack for your left hand. I used the dangerous huecos on the face as "drive-by" holds. Won't be repeating that anytime soon. Professional Widow, sort of a highball. Maybe I just did it wrong. Hot Pants: Why did I waste time and skin on this pebble? Pop a Wheelie v4. Strength in Numbers v5. X Hot Pants v5.

Prickles & Goo: Fear This Sport.
http://pricklesgoo.blogspot.com/2009/05/fear-this-sport.html
Sunday, May 10, 2009. Video of me falling off the first bouldery crux of Fear this Sport 5.12b at Cannibal Crag. I later discovered a knee bar but it's still quite difficult for me. If anybody out there has good beta, I'll take it. After falling, there is an impromptu moment of passion. Hey, it happens. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). FEEDJIT Live Traffic Map.

Prickles & Goo: February 2013
http://pricklesgoo.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 25, 2013. F* this sport. 5.12b. I last tried this route 1,380 days ago back in 2009. At that time, i couldn't even pull the opening crux. Alas, about one ton of beer later, (averaging two 12 oz. bottle per day), the deed is done. My pathetic attempt from 4 years ago can be found here. Thanks to Dan L for the super belay and John D for the video. F* * this Sport 5.12b. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). FEEDJIT Live Traffic Map. F* this sport. 5.12b.

Tama's Bouldiary 2: October 2013
http://ytamari.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Our family having fun in cold river. Wanted to update summary of Leavenworth bouldering trip. Driving from Vancouver, WA was 4.5 hours or less. Camping here is pretty tough because Leavenworth is a tourist town and are packed with people. We were able to get a campsite but if not we have to be on the side of Icicle Rd with no water. 85 degrees and less humidity. If you are not in the shades the sun will be beating you and was super hot! You can enjoy German food and beer! Many German beer, pretty good:).

Monday, March 4, 2013. What would a climber do for a klondike bar? Cannabis Crag behind Kraft Mountain. The route is Synapse Collapse. Glad I was not the belayer.

http://pricklesgoo.blogspot.com/2014/08/borderline.html
Monday, August 11, 2014. My 3rd 13a. Never thought I'd get to this grade. However, an insidious pattern has emerged-. I need at least one no-hands rest to send at this difficulty:. Straight Outta Compton - 12d… no-hands. Halfway up the route. Energizer 5.13a - Three to four no-hands rests in overhanging cave. Corrosion 5.13a - One double. No-hands rest before the roof crux. Borderline 5.13a - One no-hands. Crux about 1/3 of the way up the route. 94 ion sterling rope. 510 kneepad with sticky rubber.

Prickles & Goo: Epinephrine. 2,000 ft. 5.9.
http://pricklesgoo.blogspot.com/2011/06/epinephrine-2000-ft-59.html
Monday, June 13, 2011. Epinephrine. 2,000 ft. 5.9. 59 trad was putting Ryan to sleep, so he inserted a dyno to spice things up. We decided to do this route several weeks ago. Stashed gear the day before, and did the uber early start (wake up at 2:30am). Started the climb at 5:09am. Not critical or necessary. Could have done the climb with nothing larger than #3, and single rack. We followed the handren guide advice of single to #4 and double 1-3. April 13, 2012 at 5:26:00 AM EST. Climbing in the gunks.

Nine Corners Lake bouldering Sep 16, 2012. Approach to the boulders. After packing all the camping stuff, we left the campground and went to Nine Corners Lake again. We arrived at the boulders at around noon. I wanted to taka to climb more but I couldn't find any good V3-V4 and ended up taka not climbing during this trip. Warmed up on Stairs V0*. And I tried Can You See My Eyeball SD V4* *. And again it is too reachy for taka. I flashed it but if she had little more span, she can do this. まずは二人でStairs V0...
