We went to Snowy Mountain again last week, I really like the rock there. These first pictures are from the Cave Boulder, the top most boulder in the set. It has some really fun warm ups, Hammerhead and Buzzed, as well as some harder stuff. The top photo is of Andrew making his way over the lip on Buzzed. In the picture you can see the chalk marks for a problem I made up that starts on the arete to the left of it. It wasn't in the book, but it flowed so nice that I'm sure someone has done it before.
The right side of the Cave Boulder has the harder stuff, The sickness V6, The Cure V8, and the The Fin V6. We were focused on the The Cure, which is a super fun jug haul up to a scary top out on a slopes. Switching the last big hold before the top ledge to an undercling was the beta that made it easy to get up there. There is also a sideways crimp on top, and a little crescent heel hook spot. But the top holds are sloping so much that it's definitely still real rough.
