bouldering in the sun

today was an amazing day of bouldering. we went back up to rumbling bald - anne wasn't exagerrating when she told me how warm it gets up there.... the place is south facing, we were wandering around in our barefeet and climbing in t-shirts when the problems were in the sun, which they mostly were.
i'm in a cafe for free wireless right now and they're closing soon. today's post will be a photo journal where i share my project which i got in a few tries today... it's my favourite so far.

start with a crimper and a sloper....
out onto the slopey rail:

cross over to more slopey rail and no feet:

continue with cross over stance and move feet over to smear:


launch for a shallow sloper close to the top of the boulder:

peddle your feet up on the smear action and get ready to lanch for the top:


i fell off the first few times since i don't "launch" so well. i ended up throwing a heel hook up on the slopey rail and hitting the top static.

have to get out of this cafe! on my way to horsepens 40 tomorrow. yay, another five hours of driving!
