Rockcastle



We were feeling DENSE from Thanksgiving turkey as Andrew, Matt, and I headed down I-75 toward Rockcastle, KY for some bouldering yesterday. The weather was perfect, 50s and sunny, and we were ready to deflower some Kentucky boulders!

We started on Boulder One at Mainside where Andrew flashed two really good v6's and Matt and I were left to struggle. He tried Adam's v10 crimp-crimp-dyno while I tried to link the Seam. Here's a pic of Andrew doing the v8 traverse across the boulder.


We then trekked over to the Otherside to the Credit Crunch area. After stomping off the loose jug-foot on Credit Crunch, Matt got the first post-"break" send, one of his favorite of the day. Andrew brushed and cleaned David's arete project for later and then we tried out some lines on the Gotham City roof.

After some cleaning and beta figuring a SICK line materialized. A huge jump move followed by sagging into double toehooks on one hand! So good. FA of Core Values v7! The low start Full Value v8 will definitely be sent next time!

By the end of working the super core-intensive roof for a couple hours we were pretty shot and climbed a few tall slopey problems before heading back home. All in all a very awesome day!
