THORNS SIT PROJECT


Well the season is starting to slow down, but I am not ready....i want more outta this year.  Yesterday we went to moores wall...again...and I have to admit that it was fun just tooling around......doing the casual circuit....no pressure .....no expectations!!!!! First we went to the masterlock wall and warmed up...took a brief look at the right exit to the pit, this is hard no matter how you slice it. We wanted to check out this potential new line on the tall side of the sherman pocket roof boulder. This line looked very chossy and dirty up top so we moved on to Gravity Cavity area. I bet its been 4 years since I had been up to these problems.
Waterboy V7
Top Shelf V6
Gravity Cavity V5
Hustler V5
Anna Pornakova V5
Eric Owens and I did waterboy and Eric Danielson and Eric Owens did the 2nd and third ascents...i think...to Top Shelf. I did Gravity Cavity and Anna Porn also. 

All week I had been thinking of my new obsession....THORNS SIT V10/11. This thing is goona be rad!!!!!!  I am not sure if it will go in the hot weather .....however Nate is coming back soon to work for my company and I have a feeling we will work it out. Last summer it was Black Sheep V9...this season ender might prove to be alot harder than that. It starts off with a lockoff move from 2 small crimps up to a very muted 2 finger sloping  edge ...this edge is the one hold that  may be weather dependent....not sure....from there you have to cut your feet and heel your right on a good ledge and pause on a very small edge with your right then fire  to the original right hand start crimp(sharp) bring your left hand up to the left edge, get your feet up and do the dyno to a half pad edge 5 feet over the lip...hold the swing and get your foot up to do the crux reach to a bad sloper and your out....ahhhhhhh cant wait!!!!!

  2. I've been trying to find that problem Thorns at 2 mile for some time now and just happened across your blog. I know it's starting to get a little hot for 2 mile, but if you have any plans on going there anytime soon I would love to find out where this problem is. I live in Mt. Airy and frequent Hanging Rock.
    Thanks,
