Photo Dump Part IV: No Troublems

I met Dave on an East Mountain tour that I squeezed onto in Febuary down in Hueco and then ran into him again in Squamish last weekend. His six month North American bouldering trip is coming to an end and next week he will be returning to New Zealand. For a self-proclaimed "old guy" he is very good at pebble wrestling. Show below is a nearly full sequence for No Troublems (V9/10) in the forest of Squamish.

if you look at the last photo, you get a very bomber handjam between the two boulders (yes, two different boulders, think of it like climbing in font) then pinch the obvious chalky fin just to the left of your handjam and then you get a reasonable crimp and swing your foot out and mantle. its very funky and the landing is god aweful below you but it is not too hard.
