The Beast Coast Hits Bozoo

The temps were succulent today: sunny, breezy, Coors original-y. Cliff and I hit Bozoo to remind the blocs what fingers feel like--they hadn't forgotten. We hit what I'm gonna call the warm-up boulder and did a few rounds on that, moving to the porn cave shortly after. Once there, with Beck on full volume, I finally got Gina Michaels, a sick toe-hook, heel-hook, roof, arete, sloper, crimper, pinchy ultra classic. Seriously, that problem has got it all. After that, we did some wondering and found a few more boulders up river, possibly some very hard stuff, definitely some very fun stuff. Pics from those tomorrow for sure. After Gina Michaels, we packed up and went to this tall, multi-dihedral bloc and cleaned a few lines. That's Cliff on the bloc's right arete. Good and tall. Everything on this boulder's going to be supremely proud. We got the left arete, too, which is a blunt arete that climbs into a slopey slab. So good! More tomorrow after the send-fest.

This pic isn't from today, but I couldn't resist showing two sightings of the fabled Mexican.
