Joel Campbell: Hagakure
Right after we showed up at Hagakure, who walks out of the forest but Mr. Campbell himself. Joel is another local Washingtonian who knows the bouldering here as good as anyone. After getting the second ascent of the stand, Joel was hoping to get the top wired a bit more today so he could finish off the low start. Joel also gave us a tour of some problems I was very psyched along the River, including Flower, Chutzpah and Kid Hops. All were dry but the very base of Kid Hops. The River blocs might just be the coolest small grouping of boulders I have seen in Washington and is at the very top of my list to return to when I get back from Wyoming. Unfortenatly, we got rained out just as we were walking to them. Here are a few pictures of Joel on Hagakure.

two realizations for the morning:
1. i do not need to go to BC.
2. evans is choss.
dude, i struggled to try to put the quality of these boulders to words. the v6 on the boulder to the left is 100% the best granatoid i have grabbed anywhere, including bishop and yosemite and the river blocs really are some magic wood type stuff. features on polished stone by the river in these swoops and runnles. think castle hill in new zealand but with more overhands, holds, and on granite.
looks much better than anything I saw at Lworth, very nice
