Hard Core

V9, Boulder, 10 ft (3 m),  Avg: 2.3 from 3 votes
FA: Jonah Weil, Apr 2022
New Hampshire > Rumney > Rumney Bouldering > Black Jack Boul… > Upper Black Jacks > Core Cluster

Description

The sit start to Pulsating Core. Lots of tension combined with interesting movement characterize the problem. Start on a flat shelf/slot at the bottom of the arete. Hard moves up the arete link into Pulsating Core.  

Location

As for Pulsating Core: "From the trail intersection (the one that forks to Bonsai and Waimea) or "Bobby's Problem". Hike 10 yards up the hill then take the faint diagonal trail that veers out left. Follow this up past a decent sized boulder and do a few tricky steps up onto a small rock. Once on top of this rock, "Pulsating Core" and the Core Cluster will be directly in front of you.

Another method to approach this area is to hike up to the Block Boulder, then around the backside and 10 yards up the hill and slightly right."
