Quick Visit to Southern Colorado

We woke up to bad weather in Gunnison on Sunday and I made a quick decision to head to the Springs. I have spent the last two days doing some bouldering. The conditions are prime and beautiful golden trees abound. I made a lot of progress on Silven's arete in the New Sector, falling off the move to the lip a number of times today and yesterday. Hopefully it will go down on Thursday. Silven and I also tried another line on the backside of the Old Gaurd bloc that will be pretty cool. Interesting compression moves with toe hooks and some bad slopers. Sit looks like a 8B Schulte project. Got some video of a few sends yesterday. Enjoy.

was there significant linkage on that line on the old guard block? promising attempts at the low start?!?

i could not establish on the low start and there will be at least two or three very hard moves to get into where we are starting for the stand. as for linkage from the stand, i think we only made it to the second move. there is then a VERY hard move that gets you into, hopefully, easier climbing
