Black Mountain Days (Daze)

Over the last few weekends, crews have been getting back into the groove of regularly visiting Black Mt. Specifically, we've been hitting the YMCA and the Chappies areas, where those who have yet to send Beowulf are coming close to doing so, and those who have done that 4-star line have been finding and cleaning new ones. It's been a fun few weekends, and the temps are only getting better up there. The Black Mt. season is in full swing!

How many boulderers does it take to move a boulder?
Anthony Tarascio working "Hugawar" (v10/11)

Myself, cleaning an amazing new line at the YMCA. This one will be EPIC.
The line, all chalked up and looking ready to go. Methinks a rappel inspection is in order!

Needless to say, I'm psyched to go back and try some of the new projects! Stay psyched, climb safe, and see you out there!
