So today we hiked down near the cliff and got on Powder Keg V7. This is an awesome boulder with great moves and a cool top-out. See the photos below.
After we warmed up we headed down to a problem Charley Van Anda and I found between “unshackled” and “small arms”. He got the FA and called it “Wilkes Booth”, we both suggested 7c. The easiest way to get to the boulder is: start hiking down from unshackled towards small arms(north), you will see on the hike down a huge boulder with a giant overhang to the left while walking, hike left of that huge boulder and you will find behind it a cave. The problem starts on an obvious left hand and next to it is a flat crimper for the right hand. Top-out on the slab with some side-pulls. Video of FA is coming up soon…
And here are some photos from Wilkes Booth
“Jon” looks a lot like my son “Joe”
