The obvious alpine bloc is at the Aerials. The rest of the shots are from RedFeather and the Poudre.

You went back and got that thing. Sweet problem eh?
We have to go try that foot breaker problem again. I have a new and bigger pad.

Hey HighGravity - I don't mean to bust your balls, but I think that "preparing" a problem as extensively as in your photo is a very bad idea. Boulderers really need to minimize our impact, as restrictions are on the horizon.
I had no difficulties climbing this problem as it is in this photo, and aside from a little chalk, nobody would ever have known I was there.

I don't have a proper pic, but the arete shown on the left here at Bliss state park is just fantastic.

There's also a beautiful slightly overhanging face on the next boulder to the left that's one of my all time faves too (V5).
In little cottonwood canyon, 3 standouts in the realm of those that normal people can do are "Left Smiley" on the split boulder, "Lance's Dihedral" at the Secret Garden and "Shivers" at the riverside area. All V6.

No problem, but I really didn't "prepare" much. We originally thought the problem would exit left (in fact I was close to finishing it that way), so I knocked off some loose pine needles from the top. There was no actual trimming of the bush as the name implies. I don't want to come off as pissed, but I know where my ethics stand and I am sure to minimize what I do.

Thanks HighGravity,
Maybe I jumped the gun!
After comparing my photo to your's, and knowing that you named it "Trim the Bush" (if you're the same guy as on the other site) because you trimmed the bush to climb it, I felt mildly appalled by the change, and I just assumed that it was your handywork.
My photo shows an overgrown bush and about a foot of pine needles covering the summit of the boulder and the cleft. In your shot, the bush is trim, but it also appears that someone swept away all of the pine needles ('bout a metric ton worth!).
