Life On The Move

New Discovery

My climbing and development partner  Jack Nakane recently showed me a new area that he happened upon a month or so ago.  Needless to say, this place is big and offers some great quality highball boulders.  I have not had much time to spend here, but I can honestly say that this area is going to be rad once it is cleaned and developed.

The rock is a very interesting type of volcanic that is unfamiliar to me, with pockets and slopers everywhere.  Saying that this rock is very featured is an understatement.  We have only sent a few lines here due to the thick tree cover that will not allow the moister, that is very heavy this time of year, to ease.  A few moderates have gone up with at least four to five potentially very hard lines that can go up any day now.

Below, Jack sends a V2 warm up on one of the many boulders in this area.  Don’t let the grade fool you like it did me.  The top out is for real.
