new slab problem at grover

Postby tracstarr » Sun Apr 17, 2005 3:37 pm

it was an awesome day out at grover yesterday. Another new problem went up. No name for it yet but it's a slab problem found near grandfather clock area. check out the video. Scott R. has first ascent and problably goes at v4. man those are some small crimps. We also found a killer roof problem out on the peninsula, already chalked up, but not heard of it yet. It's so classic. probably a v6. anyway, there is a small clip in the video but the better shots were ruined with the camera focusing on dirt and not the climb.... but it's sorta there. anyway, too damn sore to get out today.... but chillin on the deck. check out the two new vids.

hey Keith,

I'm pretty sure that Sean climbed that slab a few weeks ago, the day that we were out with Scott Ferguson and Conan. he'll have to let you know for sure...good to hear that the sending continues!

cheers, kate

really? scott might be upset. it was pretty dirty too, had to scrub it. but i'll see what he has to say. crimpers were too small for me :) and i've watched sean pull on lichen a few times too.

The roof problem looks like Black Beast V5, It's super cool probably one of the best out there. Brian sent that with no spot either!

Yup sorry Scott I did that bout a month ago cleaning it as I went. Nice send though, sorry to burst your bubble. I gave it no name or grade but it only took 2 tries. Now the slab facing that one looks really enticing. There is also a problem I did on the shady side of the grandfather clock boulder sorta near the slot where you can squeeze thru scary....mantle type affair with some right hand sidepulls. Keep up the good work!
