Friend, that pic didnt come through...???
Magus, et al, man those pics make me homesick...*sigh*
'specially Pickpocket...I haven't touched that rock in forever. That brings back a lot of fond '80's memories with my mentor Roger Barnes, Steve Belford, and Ken Klis.

Girls Climb, 5.10d...what a classic nightmare that you'd find on a pitch when the flake you're casually laybacking up runs out into a buldge, with this nearly unprotectable seam running out to the top...gripping!

A couple weeks ago, some fun on Tower 2 and Robbins. Great weather for Woodson right now.
Robyn pulling Robbins crack on her first time trying it, she is a natural crack addict :)

LearningTrad...down on the west side, up from Poway Lakes, I believe.
Friends...that photo is on the boulder with that unnamed V6-7 rail problem next to Shawn's Knobs / Karl's Error

Not that this means much, but this is the ONLY picture I've seen of someone trying this, and never have I physically seen anyone trying this! I heard it that Mr. Rick Piggot did it's first ascent. Was told by my friend Steve Belford that he unsuccessfully tried it. It's apparently in the 5.11 range, but then again, everything hard at Woodson was 5.11c b.i.t.d, ie; IHMT, and Mother Superior!

I see, thanks. Don't normally approach from that side, how much of a drop is it past the summit if you take the road? also, how hard is it? Might be wasting my time ;)

The picture of Raker looks like the 5.11 sloper traverse on Marshmallow Tower to me too.
LT - that crack is 5.10 and it's about 5 minutes west of the Ogre. You can hike up either side, but the quantity and quality of the problems on the west side is nothing compared to the main (east) area.
I will post on Mtnproj when I have a few minutes.

Friend,
Please do post up location beta for Yoav. As an East coast resident I'm very fortunate to have the opportunity to climb at Woodson at least a handful of times a year due to San Diego business travel. I've climbed many of the classic cracks and thought I'd found the vast majority of them. I hadn't seen this one before though.

I read that a guide once existed for the boulders on the Lake Poway side. Anyone know of such a thing?
Chris Hubbard's SD guide says that everything down by Lake Poway "was probably climbed by Rick Piggot in the late 70's"...

Anyone on supertopo been on that side of marshmallow?? Just jumping to the sloper rail felt like the real deal to me.

Yep, the North side of Marshmallow Tower with the 5.11+ finger crack up the "Marshmallow" sitting at the top of the tower.
Yes, there's a photo guide somewhere for the west side boulders...I'll try to find it.
The second photo is misleading for it isn't on Woodson proper yet, hint: is across the road, and associated with "Woodson" when people talk about it, ie; Laverne and Shirley.
