More Durango bouldering

Tyler and I went out today while the girls stayed home. We found a new problem to work on that presented an acceptable challenge!

Action shot as Tyler reaches for an opposing force hand hold.


The initial aspect requires the use of a reverse ledge to create an opposing force while positioning your left foot on a decent hold. This then leads into two more holds for the hands which are again opposing forces to keep your Center of Gravity (CG) close to the boulder face.

Blah, blah blah, I could continue on about bouldering buzz words; however, it was a good project. I would rate the crux (the most difficult move of a route on a boulder) of this route a 5.9.


Short video.



Tyler will get this next time we go out. It is one of those things you try, try, and try again, then the next time you attempt it, it will be easy!
