Comments: Godzilla is actually the right line in this photo. Far left line you are uncertain about is Main Street. The middle line, which doesn't get much traffic and is quite hard, is Four Dollar Arete.

Comments: Wet Carrot begins on the jug at the lip of the roof and heads right and up. It was put up by the guys guys who developed the easier stuff in the cave long before Dark Waters, Formula 50/500, etc, etc. Can't say for sure that JJ did it from the underclings first, but the lower problem which adds two moves was done by JJ in the infancy of the Dark Waters cave. He called it More Wetter Carrot, staying with the spirit of the original problem.

Comments: FWIW, the name of this problem is "The Consideration" ... NOT "Consideration."

Comments: I must ask, who thought it was a good idea to spray paint "Rieger" on this little six foot overhanging block?

Comments: pfwein - I deleted my previous post, since you've clarified yours.
You will know if you do Reverse Consideration. Switch the hands in the first beta photo above and you've got it. It's a completely ridiculous contortionist crossover that is really fun and made possible by perfectly placed feet. Match and throw to the lip. It's also got some cool history, being a Holloway problem.
True Consideration is thought to be the original way The Consideration was climbed ... without the small LH crimp t... more >>

Location: CO : Boulder : Flatirons : North : Satellite Boulders : Breaking Point, the (V3 PG13)

Comments: I'm not certain, but based on your description Joshua, I believe this problem is listed in Benningfield's first Colorado Bouldering guide and was done in the 1990s. Check out the original Colorado Bouldering and feel free to clarify. If I'm wrong, I'll delete this comment. And yes, that landing is complex to say the least - almost worthy of an R rating - with lots of questionable flakes under the roof before the lip.

Comments: Sweatpants - trend up and left from Toe to Toe & the BBC Boulder between the trail that heads to the Third and the Upper Satellites. If you get the US proper, come back down the steep main drainage heading east until you get to it. Halley's Comet and its sds, Richter Scale, are on the downhill side of a large block in a drainage culvert, maybe 300 yards as the crow flies from Toe to Toe, the BBC Boulder, etc.

Comments: FWIW, this problem was never referred to as "Indian Ladder" by the developers. Indian Ladder is at The Bog in the Poudre. Same developers.

Comments: Flash Gordon ... since I entered the majority of the Satellites problems in the database, I am curious about this original xerox guide you speak of ... who put it together? Just the Satellites Boulders or is there more to it?
Thanks in advance for your response. Send me an e-mail message if you prefer.

Comments: While I agree Jason, I can't help but yawn a little. Boulderers from all over the world know this problem as The Kind. However, it's nice to finally know who was first to start tooling around putting up problems near Emerald Lake. I knew Ian Glass and Jim Belcer were early on the scene, but Jim Hurst is new name I had not heard before. Thanks for that cool bit of info!
A related example is The Monkey Traverse, which was known for 20 years as The Long Traverse before Benningfield's guide changed... more >>

Comments: I too have ALWAYS heard this called "The Kind." Respect for The Standard Overhang name should presumably be given, regardless how uninspiring it is.

Comments: FA: Pat Goodman.
That wasn't the first hold to break on this one. There was a crimp up high on the left side of the arete that broke a few years ago too. The only things keeping this one from being 4 stars is the exfoliation and friability of the some of the small edges near the top. If the breaking/friability of holds is over, this one might be worthy of 4 stars.

I agree about the FA info tcamillieri ... enter the problem as "Unknown" and let folks come along and provide the info.
