Split Rock

We bouldered Split Rock today. Those things are TALL




we ran into two guys from SF... one of them had been to Kalymnos, so we talked about that for a while in the shade, and then moved on to the shadow boulder. I'm not sure it it was the fatigue setting in, but the ratings on the shadow boulder seemed about 2 grades off across the board. Despite the sandbagging, there are some really fun and unusual problems on it.
