Now that the hubbub of purchasing/finding Christmas gifts and tweaking GiftListIt is over, I can spend a bit of time organizing things like my photos. I’d like to show you a picture of what I think will make a really great boulder problem at Rocks State Park. The problem with the problem is, in order to do it safely I’ll need at least on more (if not 2) mats.
This is definitely in my list of things to do in 2008. I’ll need to wait until we’ve had a period of warm dry days — the area this is in has a lot of ground seepage so things are always damp.
Dave took some great pictures of some bouldering we did at Rocks State Park on Thanksgiving Day. The picture above is from that album. Check out my picasaweb gallery for the rest of the pictures.
You may need a net for that problem. That’s a bad landing! Or maybe even a (gasp) top rope!
Jc, how tall is the climbing face?
15-16 feet. As Dave said though, it’s a pretty sketchy landing…
I agree that you would want a couple of layers of safety as the crack at the bottom sort of looks like 3-3.5′ deeo. Maybe a 2×8′ of plywood or lexan and then a couple of crash pads or a Dave says a top rope in the worse case. It would be cool to capture on video.
How would you rate the problem?
