By: losbill When: 2 days ago | view comment >> | Comments: I don't know Rich. Getting out to the Nose the way you describe is pretty easy. However I have not found the 2 or 3 moves up necessary to gain a stance and get gear in to be trivial at the 5.7 level. Plus the landing really sucks. Jagged boulders are not soft.
To be able to keep it safe at the grade level I think you may be better off with the start on the right, up the left-facing corner. Maybe I'll have to go back and give the Nose start another go to judge appropriately. It has been a... more >>

Location: NY : The Gunks : The Trapps : c. Frog's Head - the Arch : Sixish (5.5) : Photo
By: losbill When: Apr 13, 2013 | view comment >> | Comments: Yes. You are correct. Sixish was my first Gunks lead. Misread guide book and ended up dealing with the block. My daughter with little trad experience was my partner that day. She got a little overwhelmed by the first pitch and there were a few tears at the first belay. But she rallied nicely and we ended up having a great time. Great climb. There is a lot to it.

Location: MA : Crow Hill : The Buttress : Buttress (5.9 R) : Photo
By: losbill When: Apr 7, 2013 | view comment >> | Comments: The climber is doing what we refer to as the direct start to The Fool On The Hill. It is pretty thin and delicate climbing. The regular start utilizes the cracks to the left of the climber. The Fool's line continues pretty much straight up where the climber's rope runs. The Buttress starts where the rope from the belayer runs and then trends out right.

By: losbill When: Apr 6, 2013 | view comment >> | Comments: Thanks for the reply Seth. I will certainly defer to Dana given his history with and knowledge of all things Gunks. But if CHD ends where Bonnie's ends how does Dick give CHD 90' and the Original route only 60'? I'm coming to the conclusion Dick's description and photo are just a bit confusing.

Location: NY : The Gunks : The Trapps : i. High E : Sleepwalk (5.7)
By: losbill When: Apr 5, 2013 | view comment >> | Comments: I'm confused. It has been a number of years since I have attempted to do Cool Hand Dukes but as I recall my attempt brought me pretty far to the right of the big pine tree marking the end of the original P2. I ended up above Bonnie's P2 finish on white stacked blocks. I recall thinking the rock was scary and the pro was lousy, particularly as I attempted to continue up and right. Bailed left pretty much horizontally about 12 to 17 feet to the big pine tree.

Location: MA : Ayer Boulders : Trashcan Boulder
By: losbill When: Mar 12, 2013 | view comment >> | Comments: Eric,
You are right, it is Trashcan. I looked quickly and thought it was the Double Roof. I can do Double Roof!!!
Anyone been out at Ayer recently? I have twice seen a white pickup at the pulloff as well as two vehicles another time, and the trail looked well packed last night. If so, give me a shout and we can compare notes and problems.

I'm confused. You are from New Mexico and posting up about Ayer, Massachusetts bouldering? BTW what would you grade it at. I'm not much of a boulderer. Easier to do than it appears from the photo!
