Very quick post this morning. Last week Travis and I ventured out to Swan Falls to boulder on some of the slick basalt out there. Most of our climbing went down on the Spice World Boulder, including the V3 (Scary Spice) below:
I rested for a few days after Sunday, then decided to explore an area that Travis had mentioned called the Valley of the Trolls. The Valley sits between the Warm Springs Golf Course, and the Tablerock Mesa. There are a lot of boulders there, though some are on private land, and some are composed of low-quality sandstone. I "established" a V1 I call Pale Lip because of a prominent and oddly colored hold near the top of the climb. During the first ascent an edge broke off and I contemplated naming this route "Cookie Crumbles."
There is a lot of potential at the Valley, though it looks like I am the last to know about the area, ha! I found ample evidence of previous climbers establishing their own routes higher up on the trail where the rock improves.
