Great late fall day at GB

Last Saturday we returned to Great Barrington for a beautiful chilly fall day. We began the day at the Probe Boulder for the first time in over a year. The warm-up is a fun V2 that went pretty quickly for all. JP and I then set our eyes on a V5 Kettle Traverse that goes into the warm-up while Ben and Kyle worked on the V9 Probe.
After a handful of tries, I was able to put together the traverse for the send. JP then continued working it and was able to traverse all the way to the final moves but slipped off and couldn't get back to that spot again. Next time for sure.
Kyle and Ben weren't able to connect the first moves but they feel good about future days on it.
Next we walked 10 minutes down to the SPAC boulder. Ben and I worked the V8 Bump, Kyle looked for a repeat on SPAC and JP began prepping for Snooze Button V5. Ben and I are both VERY close on to sending. JP waited patiently for all the pads to be moved up the hill under his project. He then gave it some really good goes but the Kettle Traverse had stolen his finger tips and his best goes at Snooze.
Finally we ventured up the hill some more to check out Two Stroke and Big Hairy White Thing. Both of those were still a bit wet from the rain Thursday night so we put some work in on an unknown but beautiful looking climb. After about a half dozen goes, I was able to pull through the tough opening sequences and cruise the easy top out for my second send of the day. We later found out that this fun line was a V5 called Wasabi.

All in all a great day and we are all very excited to return to these projects again, hopefully before the snow flies. JP put together a video of the day. Check it out at www.weekendbouldering.blogspot.com

We'll take a Thanksgiving break and then go out again on the 5th, either outdoors or to the CT Rockgym comp.

Happy T-Day
