Back at Nathan's Couch

I headed back to Nathan's couch on Friday in a unsuccessful attempt to climb on the boulder.  Southern Colorado had been hit hard with snow in the last couple days and up to six inches were on the ground in places in Elevenmile Canyon.  The face of the boulder was actually totally dry but the topout was covered.  I rappelled in and clean the snow off so the block would be dry the next day.  On Saturday, I returned, figured the very committing topout out on a rope, and then started trying it from the start.  Unfortunately, I was not able to stick the crux left arm lockout move.  There is more snow on the way in the So Co but hopefully I can get out sometime this week to try it again.
