Go to "one of these Days" crack out in woodfords canyon. I have aided this climb may times to get ready for a wall. Good gear the whole way. Make sure to bring a 70 meter rope to ensure you will get back down with one rope. Hardly any one there so you should not be holding anyone up who might be out to climb this. Just shy of halfway is a roof that I have used to practice setting up my ledge and hauling.
I usually go by myself so that no one has to endure a long belay. Plus after aiding the crack you can tr solo it and get a good pump as well.
take care

Nice one Wes...
"Hey, go over there and beat the hell out of that rock face... Don't worry about breaking things off...
Later I'll get an FA on the best new boulder problem that will cause the world to stop and take notice of my superior strength and climbing abilities!!!"
You should just run out there with a couple tools (drill+hammer+chisel=new v10++) and manufacture all the new boulder problems.

Wes - LOL.. I know you wouldn't ever think about chipping anything!
But you will tell an entire generation of fledgling aid-climbing starters where all the best "practice" boulders are.. and if they happen to knock a few pieces of patina off a certain boulder you've been looking at... Well, hey.. "I didn't do it!"
That's what you meant with that post right?
See you soon, not for bouldering though, more fer taken pitures!
P.S. - what are the temps, and what's the hike in like? Anything like getting to the Druids? Heaven? Happy's? Park and climb possibilities?

The first pitch of "Out the Bigtop" at the Leap is C1, and has zero traffic. It's about 30' left of the second pitch Traveller's Buttress. There is a good bolted station at the end of the pitch. The next pitch after that is A3/C3 through overhung rot, so while it's and aid line, it doesn't really count as practice...
