We just made a trip down to the red, which was a nice change of pace from the the rock up in the Adirondacks. We even got on some boulders down there, and found a bunch of new potential. The first night we got there we night bouldered at the Bulldog Boulder, which has the nice V8 (Bulldog), and a really sweet V3 right next to it. I can't remember the name of it now, but it was one of my favorite things we got on all weekend. I'll have more on that problem and some nice pictures of it soon. But first off, we found a whole bunch of really big but mossy boulders right across from the stream behind the Bulldog. In total there were about 6 really big, nice boulders back there. All of them were pretty mossy, and the rock looked a little suspect in places, but on every boulder we found at least one or two lines that look really nice.
This Boulder had a nice line starting up the right from two hand jams, then making big moves on big holds. There could also be another one on the left close to the tree.
This one has a pretty nasty landing because of a little slope right there, but with a couple good spotters it would be do-able. But it would be a real hard problem following the sloping seams going up and right to the arete.
And this one was just a big long wall with tons of potential and a sloping top out. These are just three of the nice boulders we scoped out, we are hoping to make a cleaning trip some time soon because these boulders all look really nice.
Hey Quinn! It's Ana Hayes! I just want to let you know that all of those boulders across the stream from Bulldog have pretty much already been done by a handful of old school boulders from Kentucky. I have the RRG bouldering guide book with lots of places added that aren't in the book if you wanna see it at some point. Those boulders are actually on private land and so if you do happen to clean some stuff, make sure you are careful of your surroundings.
