I'm trying to come up with some bouldering circuits for stamina training at Moore's Wall, I think there could be a circuit for each of the primary areas - main area, valley, 2 mile.
I'm trying to make my circuit a pyramid of 4's, 5's, 6's and one 7, so that would be 8 4's, 4 5's, 2 6's, 1 7
Main area circuit
Gabe's arete is a silly little line that is on the left side of a wall that is up and to the right of Stickman. The wall is about 10 feet high and has 2 or 3 warm up problems, the arete line starts way down to the left in a kind of hole.
LOL :) is a line I did to the left of Stickman. I moved a big boulder out from that overhanging corner and it revealed a big ol' foot. The line starts on a right hand crimp, just to the left of the Stickman start, and a left hand micro crimp in the roof. It goes straight back with a left hand, then a big move to the stacked holds on Stickman, then directly overhead to the Stickman exit.
The trailside boulder is the one just off the trail up from Tsunami. The arete I'm referring to is the far left side, low ball start with a couple of interesting moves to a top out through some rhodo biz.
Please correct me if these lines have been done before!
JP suggested adding the Hustler to the circuit, I personally am not a fan, and I believe its a 5, which we've already filled the quota for 5's. Might be a good alternate 5 for some folks.
JP also suggested Anna Pornikova, I'm not familiar with this line.
Valley circuit
I think I downgraded Triple-X here... Where's Stu's face (left of norskisist)?

Adam Tripp has suggested for the main area -
ReplyDeleteDuck Soup V5/V6
Zen Spasm V7
The Ramp V8
Scary slab to the left of got your back (what's this called?) V5
I'd say these are good alternates but do not help with filling in the final V4's!
More problems for the 2 Mile area - the stuff on the back of the Stigmata boulder, I'm not at all familiar with these, can somebody break them down?
Another alternate V6 for the main area - the Duck Soup Traverse. Start on Duck Soup, go right and up, exit at the far end of the boulder.
ReplyDeleteSome possible additions for the 2 Mile circuit, but they would add some hiking!
ReplyDeleteKimbo Slice V5
some easy variation of Octagon V7? - starting from the far left side and just traversing the problem?
Also for the 2 mile area, there is a V5 problem on the Euro Wall just to the right of the big off width crack.
ReplyDeleteHere's some of what I got - you'll have to sort it out for your circuit.
ReplyDeletemore main area -
gravity cavity v5/6 - up high
v4 hang-and-drop left of piss and vinegar.
the shermanator hang and drop v5/6
valley -
iron chuff v4
menudo v5/6
proper mod v5
norskisist v5
stu's face (just right of norskisist) v5
2 mile
nice'un v4
nice'un straight up v3/4
CONTROL v6
circus roof v4
John thanks, I added the problem left of Piss and Vinegar, that one you can actually top out on that ledge though. Maybe you are thinking of the hang and drop on the next (Masterlock) boulder, I've added that to the circuit as well, and that satisfies the main area circuit.
ReplyDeleteSince exploring the new warm up area (check the blog post), we can add several quality lines in the 4-6 range, and actually make a pretty hard Tsunami area circuit.
ReplyDeletetennis shoes warm up on the big boulder above the fire road (before the Sentinel trail)
1. Gym Rat Kevin V4
2. right of Gym Rat Kevin V5
3. vertical problem that finished left of peak of adjacent boulder V3
4. traverse problem on adjacent boulder V5
5. left of first arete (arete on first boulder at new warm up area) V5
6. Tsunami V7
7. Rogue Wave V7
after that you can finish off at the Valley or the Main Area, one or two more V4's or V5's would make for a pretty good moderate to advanced circuit.
