The Season is here!!!

It looks like some cooler weather is finally in for a bit. Which is a much need change of pace after a way hot summer. Jon, Tom, and I went up to McAfee's Knob this past weekend and were psyched to sample some great friction.

We found a new boulder (dubbed Quattro) and put up 4 new lines on it. Nothing way hard, but really cool moderates. To find the boulder, start at the Arrow Head boulder, walk about 50-80 feet up the trail, and the boulder will be immediately on your right. If you come across the block in the trail , then you missed Quattro. It is has a featured vertical face at about 7-8 feet tall. The new problems are listed from right to left. Pictures to come...

1) un-named, v0 (FA Bernard) SDS on jugs, go up and left to crack system and top out.
2) A Cups, V4 (FA Walker) SDS same as 1, head up and right to rail. At end of rail, top out directly above on slopers and a finger lock.
3) Mud Puppy, V3 (FA Walker) SDS in middle of wall on jugs, and go straight up to lie back. Top out via great lock/pocket and slopers
4) Raising Brows, V2 (FA Walker) SDS on left side at pockets/edges. head up w/ right hand to eye brow and lef to edge. Side pull a sloper and reach for the jug.
