Last month our crew went to Grandmother to boulder (“Winter Bouldering“). It was a fun but icy affair. This month I determined to return when the Parkway was open in order to walk into the central bouldering area. We warmed-up on Chainsaw, but I didn’t seem to be making any progress toward a good climbing day. It is always good to see others have a good day and spend time in the woods. All but one of those along had never seen any of these boulders. That has been more or less true since the beginning of this crew last July. I get the privilege of showing them new climbing areas and new climbs, and I have gotten to see two new areas myself. Later in the morning our more experienced colleague showed up with two more pads and “advanced techniques” and “secret weapons”, as he said. His additional enthusiasm, beta, and hard climbing inspired us, and perhaps I was properly warmed-up by then. I climbed several climbs I hadn’t even been on in years and didn’t expect that I could pull off this day. Check out some of our efforts at “Boulder Magic“.
