Glad to see these lesser-traveled boulders getting some attention! Looking forward to seeing you get some of the blocks off the Ballard trail; with the nearby shooting range, they feel a bit like climbing in a war zone.
Looked at these boulders for years. Never got motivated enough to get out there with pads. We get the dogs out there several times each week. Plus I’ve done a lot of trail running there. Unfortunately there isn’t much else. Have seen a few more promising lines I’d be happy to give you directions 🤙🏼
@@JaSmitty68 Fanning put some of these up and a few more in the forest and then Deej put up a block close to here called the gift you should check out! An yeah, if you've seen some good ones I'd be down to scope them out! Ed Beatty has been marking pins and taking pictures of all the boulders he thinks look decent while mountain biking as well. Nice to have things close to home.
Super fun vid. I'm not sure if this makes any sense, but Scudbuster looks like it should be half its size, like 10ft tall instead of 20ft. I think its the features which are so blocky and distinct, but it looks like a tiny man is climbing up some problem at a local crag that a hundred people have said "If only this thing was like twice as big or 10ft taller." But Scudbuster ACTUALLY is twice as big. Ok I'm just going to continue ranting. Am I the only one that has spent hours looking at rocks and tiny boulders thinking "I wish I could shrink myself down to the size of an ant. This arete would be so sick if I was 1 inch tall. This rock is bomber."
lolcano I totally get that! I even started a tiny boulder of the week on IG where I photoshopped pads under pebbles I found while taking the pup for walks. And yeah, with the wide mode on the gopro so I could fit Scudbuster in frame it gave it such a super tiny appearance. It's done that with a good bit of blocks in my videos throughout the years. Thanks for the kind words! Hope you have a great season!!
you could look on various sites to see if there are things close to you. what the approach is like. What the difficulty of the climb is and the description of how to climb it. a few of these sites are mountainproject.com 27crags.com and kaya which is an app.
I'm sure you could. I didn't so I'm not 100% on that but there's enough trees around on the other side and cracks to place gear at the top to keep it in position.
I don't have a pin. It might be on 27 crags and if it is it should have a gps. The lake is draining now for gualey season and as soon as It reaches winter pool this block will be high and dry.
@@rockatanaka haha yikes, no easy approaches in RMNP. Upper Chaos and Lower Chaos are pretty long and all up hill. The approach to Guanella is the chillest followed by Horsetooth resevoir, and possibly the flatirons.
I'm sorry I don't have a pin and approach beta would be long winded and probably still get you lost. The person to ask would be Aaron Schneider. I'm not sure if he's got it lined up to eventually put up on 27 crags but he is that one that found it and mapped out the area.
Thank you!!!! Walk the the line is sick and can be found in Linden/Needles Eye which is just outside Fayetteville in Oak Hill. Search that park name and you'll find it on maps. Then walk the gravel trail on the right of the parking lot while also taking the right fork each time it spits. Once you finally see boulders it should be the 3rd one in a that cluster and the giant haco will be visible when you look around the corner. This park is packed with classics. As for campus problem, we've sadly lost access to the South Side but are talks to try and get that back in the future.
These are sick, man. Love the edit. Do you mind sharing beta on how to get to Rebel Ruby, happily ever after, or some of the other boulders? Much appreciated!
Rebel Ruby is a little tricky with finding the parking an navigating to the boulder. It's in a relatively new developed area in hominy just off of summersville lake but it should be being added too 27 crags in the not so distant future and that will get you there with pictures and pins the best.
yeah, the never ending line of brand spankin new boulders at the New! It's in the new section Fayetteshine which is between Fayette station and Sunshine. Its's cool but definitely peep negative flow! and I need to go back at low water to try Picturesque!
