Bulo Point

Dasha and I were fortunate enough to get an unexpected day off yesterday. We decided to spend the afternoon bouldering at Bulo Point. Up to now we've only explored the roped climbing there, but given that I've climbed every route, we decided it would be more fun to see what Bulo had to offer bouldering wise.

Most of the blocks are on the smaller side, and a lot of the tall blocks are slabby. But there are worthwhile problems mixed in. The rock is grippy and featured so the problems are primarily in the V0-V3 range. Here are some of the problems we found.

1-Dasha Zamolodchikov cranking a sweet arete. 2-Christian Prellwitz moving through the crux pull. 3-This was the best problem we climbed this day. We did it straight up and then as a low traverse in from the left. Probably like V2 from the left, V1 straight up. Really good rock and fun moves.

Leavenworth, Part 3

We're up on Mt. Hood now. It's been snowing since we arrived. Back to winter.

There won't be too many personal climbing trips over the next two months. Possibly a day at Smith Rocks, and some afternoons at our local climbing area here- Bulo Point. We've mainly spent time route climbing there, but we've explored the bouldering in the area as well and there is some fun stuff. I'm sure we'll explore it a little bit more this summer (especially since I've climbed every route at Bulo).

That's all for now. Here's a couple more pics from Leavenworth. 1-Dasha on the sit start to 'Sunny and Steep' (V2+). 2-Me climbing a V4 on one of the coolest boulders I've ever seen- the Twisted Tree Boulder.
