Awesome photos Im getting stoked! Anybody else switching up climbing plans this weekend to climb Woodson because of this thread?
Yes Friend that be Greg's face. First time up it last weekend, bring a rope to get down, its good.
KP's demise is the face left of Morrocan menace, ascends immediately left of the detatched flake at the bottom.
I havent got on Substance abuse, Yes and No crack looks rad.

The Hanging Gardens area has some super cool slabs, unfortunately a key knob on this one broke making it either impossible or just mega hard..
Also, is there a problem to the right of Death Vomit? Starts on a slopey xeno then goes straight up on nothing holds. Kind of interesting

Yeah, great photos. Every post is getting me fired up, keep em coming. Hope some more of the old school will pipe up too. Even if it's stuff we've seen before, it definitely gets ya psyched – so bring it babe. Hehe.
Hey Darkmagus! I thought Korean Cowboy was great. But I'm not sure I did it "correctly." When I got home I looked at mountainproject, and saw the crux, and the reason for its name – is a mantle! Uhhhh........ hmm. So, I got the two handholds, hiked my feet up (crux for me) and, right at the point when you'd turn your hand and start to press, I just... let go, and reached up for the next hold. Sort of a no-hand mantle lol.
Also on the subject of Epperson classics, Ryan and I tried Syncopation the other day. Hoping to get that one next time. It is super cool. Technical, burly, tall.. oh yeah.

SD Nick: Matteo and I changed up the plans and are hitting up Woodson tomorrow (instead of J-Tree)!
Friend: The "mantle" beta always puzzled me, heard it described as a "saddling-up" of sorts, but never saw anything but the couple pics on MP. After seeing that video, I've never been more psyched for 12 feet of stone!
This thread needs more pics, I'll take a bunch tomorrow!

Sweeeeeeeeet! Thanks for starting the 2017 Woodson thread! I need all the motivation I can get this year as I will be starting at ground zero. Looking forward to being able to stick my right ankle into Sickle Crack again ;)

Do it Mike! Send that thing. I'm going to be wandering around there tomorrow as well and will look for you all. I'd love to heckle, err, ah I mean cheer you on, on KC.
Here's a photo for motivational purposes. Drive By 5.11 thin crack with standard Do Not Fall landing zone at the crux. Great problem, I believe the FA was by Maidenation and Goboy a few years back.

Here's a few photos from yesterday! Photo credits to Jed on a lot of these.
Anyone know if this things been done? I'd be surprised if it hasn't. It's on the same boulder as He Man and follows a juggy crimp rail to a hard no holds topout.

Nice work on He Man, Aden! Did you get on the finger crack to the right of the corner at Grand Central?

Thanks Matteo! We didn't get on that one just because the landing is terrible, and I'm not solid enough to solo that thing yet. It looks incredible!

Great Woodson weekend! Cool cats, new climbs, rad sends. Highlight had to be seeing Lie Detector go down in a flash. Amazing. Well done Friend! I also enjoyed getting humbled on Heman. I woke up and did some dips this morning.

Nice photos Nick, looks like you got on a few of the things we tried that day as well!
How hard is He Man? I wanna get an idea of where I'm at on these Woodson mantles..I've been enjoying them recently :-)

Damn... all these years later and BVB still manages to dig up brand new/old school (?) shots. The "Classic Knobs" problem just down from the Painted boulder. I checked it out for the first time recently after seeing adenparker's photo of it. Surprise, surprise: it's killer. More please.. the vintage shots always inspire.

I found a photo of the Vice Principle's Office that gives you a decent look at the route, although the steepness does not come though -- If you fall near the bottom of the thing, you're gonna go for a really big swing. It's right at the point where you wonder: is this just really overhanging? or is it a roof? Bonus points when you tick spring break, a great 5.11 face route that you walk under during the approach.
I'd be really interested in getting a second opinion on how hard people think the VP's office is. Burlfest for sure; no fancy footwork or fingerlock finesse on that beast. You just gotta muscle up.
