Rest

After 6 months of nonstop bouldering, I have taken the last few weeks to rest. It really feels great and the timing couldn’t be better as the alpine areas continue to get more and more snow. I have gone out a few days to snap some pictures and enjoy the company of friends. Here are some nice shots of two classic Poudre Canyon problems that don’t see nearly enough attention.

Just down the hills from Small Axe is an outstanding unrepeated Ben Scott FA called The Eye of Sumara. It climbs a very nice nice arete over a workable landing on awesome rock. One of the best problems in the Poudre Canyon and strangely neglected, in my opinion.

    would it be safe to say that ben scott is in the top 10 for most fa’s?
