Late January in the Desert

Saturday I rolled out to the Desert with Ty, Trevor, and Ethan to meet up with the Brotherman, The Mojede crew, Clay and Derrick, and Dave and Chris from Outside Bozeman. It was cool to have a large crew and some new folks on these problems...a good tour ensued.

After a bit of warming up, Pat dispensed the OW Invert Project on the BLM Boulder (more info to come in the updates section) and Buttian Warlord saw a nice session...we then headed over to Optronic Eye...after some strong goes, the crimper just above the low horizontal ripped off...DOH! 4 years later, the problem gives us a new challenge...the new version of optronic should go, though it may jump the rating a bit...

We then headed over to the Bullet Boulder, where the grainy west face project saw a couple of variant ascents, one more center, and one moving towards the southwest arete (more info to come in the updates section)











After we wrapped up things on the Bullet Boulder, Dave and Chris headed out and we jumped over to the West Hill for a go at Rubberband Man...the resulting video is a product of late day cell phone filming...viddy well my droogs...




Cheers,
Tom
