I'm 6'4' with long arms so it could be a height/and or finger size dependent thing. I know those 2 GCS cracks. But that one in the "dihedral" is bomber size for me tho, and hence easier than the other. It's so good that if I'm not careful my fingers can get stuck.

We had a great day down there last weekend. Did my best to sandbag Jon, got sandbagged myself by Terry, and this guy was floating everything in sight. Thin fingers, no problem.
Jon is belaying and studiously copping beta for the solo. Heh. Good times.
Killer photos ^^ is that Patty leading Out of Sight? SWEET!!

I'm not sure I can match his beta for power laybacking the start.

With Henry's tiny fingers, it probably climbs more like Laverne- burly!

Great shot, Karl Mueller. As it turns out, I've been training your niece for some time now. Guess pulling hard comes in the family :)

Here's a couple from past weeks. Great times out on both hills this season! Anyone into getting wide this Sunday? That Monster crack looks so good!

Hey guys, I need some help. Is there some long super easy slab on Woodson? Like in the 5.2-5.3 range and maybe a short pitch long? This would be perfect for helping me rehab my busted ankle; really slow methodical feet placement and movement over a long distance. I'm running 10 laps on the short slabs I know and was looking something different (and longer). I realize just getting to it would be a workout for my ankle too. It would just be part of the package along with bringing a bucket of ice in the car for when I get out.
Nice pics btw! Keep the stoke going!

Thanks contractor! That looks pretty close to what I need now, and I know the old Y crack trail so that should be easy to find.
On another note, I need to get together with you. I'll be in touch

On the biggest boulder on Woodson, all the way on top of the hill, on the same boulder as Barbaro offwidth, is a 120' beautiful easy slab facing south. There is one shutdown move about 30' up, but if you lower in from top and start above that spot, is a really clean 5.5 slab to the top. Plus you get the cardio workout getting there
