I think it is safe to say that in the modern period of Mount Woodson, say the last ten years, Friend has the burliest record of crack solos. He is not afraid to go for the on-sight. I have watched him send a few sick ones.

Real badass send Friend. And camerawork. Tough pic to follow but it really got me stoked to press out some spooky mantles. Blind faith and something on the backside.

No way, Nick! I thought for sure that chalk was someone just touching the holds! How was it? Do you hang it first or jump into it from standing on the boulder? That's amazing dude, I've been curious about that one for a while. Looks mega hard and terrifying.

Stellar thread yall! I wish I lived closer.
Where is this rad video everybody is drooling about? I can't seem to find it upthread.
Here's some stoke from my own backyard boulders in Fresno...
Private property. Probably 2000sq acres. More boulders than Hueco Tanks or Rocklands South Africa.

Thanks Friend! Haha Aden you called it correctly when you first saw the chalk, that was a feel sesh. I went back last night for the send. I hopped up into it from the stance, a static hang would be rad and real hard. Definitly scary but you can start your right hand in mantle position from the stance and lock it in before committing.

Hey Woodson guys-
Crossposting some of this killer content in the "Bouldering Sesh" thread would be cool.

Keep it up, loving this thread.

I hope you guys all realize that "Friend" (who IS my dear friend) climbed that thing ALONE and obviously also filmed it alone.
Jeez...
When I first met him maybe 15 years ago I was the better climber. Well...those days are long gone!
In this neck of the woods we refer to him as "The Mighty Thor". I gotta admit though, "Strong Bald Guy" is pretty awesome too!

I, for one, am very impressed. Sheesh, Woodson is my home turf! Lie Detector was so far out of my ability that I didn't even really feel bad about not being able to do it. 5.11 was good enough for me! It wasn't out of the ability of my mentor and sometimes climbing partner, Rick Piggott. Rick was like Wolverine.

Nice Contractor! That Monster crack looks awesome and hard. Heads up there is a trash cleanup on the hill this Saturday from 9 to 12 that Allied Climbers is putting on.

Dang, nice solo of Starface, Nick! That's spooky..maybe not for you slab wizards though!
I've wanted to check out those Long's Mantles. Yowza. Is that last photo of the crazy mantle shelf in Grand Central Station?
See you guys at the clean up
