This video was filmed during the winter of
2012-13. It showcases the bouldering from two spots in the Telluride
area- The Cove and Society Turn. Though not as dense in quality or
quantity as either Ilium or The Mine Boulders, both The Cove and Society
Turn offer worthwhile problems on good quality stone. I tried to
showcase some of the best problems at each area. Hopefully this entices
some people to check these spots out!
From The Cove- 'Sometimes I Still Feel The Bruise, Right Exit' (v0), 'Flat Top Left Arete' (v3/4), 'Dyno-mite' (v6), and 'The Lesson' (jump start, v3/4).
From Society Turn- 'The Alien Traverse' (v6/7), 'Yarra River Eliminate' (v4/5) and 'Frosted Flakes Sit' (v5).
Some of the grades are different than the guidebook. This is an attempt to reflect what the current grade consensus is.
Special Note: 'The Lesson' is an outstanding problem. The true stand start starts one move lower with the left hand on a small angled crimp. You pull on to the wall, establish, and then figure out a way to grab the higher crimp out left. There are a couple of different options. Though it only adds about one move into the 'jump start', it is quite difficult and is likely around v8. I tried to get the stand start on video, but was unable to send it on any of the days I was filming.
As always, thoughts/comments are always welcome. Enjoy!
