Unsent v4 DAB.

Also... where is the roof? That thing wouldn't keep you dry in a drizzle.

If you can span past the lip with your feet still on the skirt it's not a roof.

Best to focus on getting off the skirt before considering the lips.

It got me from 1/2-pitch bouldering endurance to 20-pitch endurance in a couple of weeks. I now have 5-move endurance, but it was fun then to climb big rocks with bolts. It's always good to have a strong partner...


Did you wear a helmet the whole time? A friend of mine almost lost her jaw when her partner peeled a jug rest off of one of the classic routes.

Also, where did you stay? (I'm considering a trip.)


Yes I wore my helmet the whole time (except the summit). I saw some medium size rocks go down far to the sides but felt only little ones off of my helmet. My worst experience was penduluming in the dark through cacti.

I stayed in a tent at La Posada in December-Jan 2005 surrounded by other climbers in tents. I can't imagine much has changed since then about the climbing, eating, and drinking.

Fuck yes, bouldering pictures:

My typical footwork.

That's a fairly dark cave by the way...nice and dirty. It's been 4 years; maybe it's been bolted/cleaned/taped by now.

Just noticed I joined boldering the month before going to Mexico, around 5am. Maybe the site moved me to try more roped climbing.

Triple post.

You guys can continue talking about naughty parts.

So by that rationale, what may be a roof to me may not be a roof to STFU - and, well pretty much everything is a roof for Ivan.
