Arkansas Wrap-Up

So I just had a pretty great weekend. In case you missed something, I went down to Arkansas this past weekend with my friend Andrew to do some bouldering.

Here is my pre-trip tick-list with outcomes:

V7
Razor's Edge - gave it 3 tries, got to the crux on the first go, but didn't know the beta to finish. New guidebook down-graded this to V5.
Miho - didn't try
Leatherface - looked at, but it's just a bit beyond me at the moment...maybe in a couple months i'll be strong enough for it.
Orb Weaver - didn't try
Undertow Direct - didn't try, but definitely next time

V6
Pier Pressure - didn't try

V5
Even Dirtier - put in some really good work, almost there, but it is pretty friction dependent. I'm sure i'll send next time when it's cold.
Momento - see 'Even Dirtier' comment
Slopadon Milosevic - didn't try

V4
*War Bonnet - Sent after a bit of work...then found out it was up-graded to a V5, my first of the grade!
Alabama Ahead - just one or two moves away...will definitely go next time...probably first try.
Moondye (stand start) - tried 3 times, each one progressively worse...another friction dependent problem.

V3
*The Crescent - got it! fun problem with interesting beta
Sloping Joe - didn't try

These weren't on my tick-list, but I did them anyway:
V4
*Chainsaw - Flashed it!
*A Little More John Wayne - Didn't think I was strong enough for this one...but I guess so!
*Le Beak - Awesome looking rock

V3
*Rings of Uranus - a classic arete
*Privileged Planet - A fun roof problem

Check out this video I put together of some of my climbs (you might want to just copy and paste the link because it opens in this window, not a new one):

This is another one with Wayne and Andrew climbing some stuff too:

I'd give a better wrap-up, but I've had this much of the post written for a week without posting it, so I should probably get it up sometime....
