New Finds for the Fall

Project on the incredible Barely Illegal Boulder - Lower Dryads

Despite the lack of posts we have been busy this Fall developing an area we have dubbed the Cooridor and Lower Dryads.  The Coordior is an are that we have avoided  in the past.  Thinking that there was little to nothing in there boy were we wrong.  The basically the Corridor connects the Namazu and Lower Isos areas to the Dryads.  With this connection you can successfully tour all the way from the Desert to the Dryads with less than a 5 minute walk between each major area.  First up some new finds in the Lower Dryads.

Here are some things I found on the first scoping mission into the Corridor.  I made a couple FAs but was solo so no climbing shots.  When we went out this weekend it started raining right when we got to the goods but everyone seemed pretty impressed.

We were calling this the One in a Million Boulder because of the incredible patinas it has and that being a rarity in the Batholith

Celtic Hand a very nice bear hug tech combo

Really sweet crack problem - this one is for Tom
