Today, Kyle and I went out to Big Sur to do some bouldering. I have never climbed real rock before, so for me this trip was kind of a big deal. We left around 9 and worked a couple problems till about 4. It was a long day for my hands, but so worth it! I got to use my new pad too, which works great.The first spot we went to had a V4 traverse with a mantle finish. It was pretty high up, but the mantle was really good. Right next to that was a V9 and V13. They were super stretchy, so I didn't get very far on those, lol. It was cool to be able to see these problems today because they sometimes get flooded by the water running near them, thus flushing out the landings. The water was at a good level though, just low enough for us to lay down our pads.
The picture here is a picture of the boulder we worked most of the day. I was quickly reminded we weren't working a gym problem when I saw jagged rocks on the ground and poison oak on the top out. The last couple of holds kicked my butt, but Kyle almost got it. Next time, next time.
