Dryad Boulders (Round 2)

Dryad Boulders (Lower Talus)

The Dryad Boulders that Tom, Kalah and I checked out last week is certainly quite the find.  It is going to take a long time to figure out exactly how large it really is.  We focused last week mostly on the lower section of the talus field- this weekend with a larger crew we decided to focus on some of the blocks hidden in the forest below.  A little searching revealed a couple really nice boulders with great landings.

I fumbled around on this difficult transition problem that goes from a cool sit start to a very thin slab.  Had to leave this one for another day.  Pretty rare to see these two disciplines in one problem at least of this quality.

We also found a pretty nice block with tons of moderate possibilities on it with some bomber patinas.  Ladd quickly gobbled up some FAs.

Oh yeah I have not forgotten about this bad boy.  It looks so unassuming from so far away.   I will be back!
