Headed out to the hills above NCAR to do some climbing and ended up with a new project.
Cool boulder called Square Rock with a lot of problems on it. Ended up jumping on Yellow Christ without knowing what the grade was. Funny how not knowing something is "too hard" for you can make it totally within your range.
It starts with a bouldery start with some cool technical moves up to an awesome layback for about ten feet. Crux begins at the top of that where it moves right using a really sharp crimp, transitioning onto opposing side pulls with some cool footwork to make it work. Going to have to figure out the top-out holds, but all in all it felt totally doable. Looking forward to going back.
Here's the video from today. Enjoy.

I'm off to the Telluride Bluegrass Festival tomorrow. No tickets so just going to be bumming around town listening to the music from afar. Hopefully get to hang out with one of the many people I know who are going.
