Saturday at Brownwood and Guide

Joel, Bryan, Tyler and I all went out to Brownwood for a few hours on Saturday. I spent more time taking pictures for the guide than of the climbing, but we had a great time climbing some older stuff, and establishing a new long traverse on the overhang wall at the end of the maze.

Here's the Burlfest boulder, along with route descriptions. These will all be included in the guide. Thoughts on what could be improved?

The Burlfest boulder:






1. "Panzyfest" v0- Start seated on two good slopers. Move up and right using the crack, until it stops, and then reach right to a good hold marked by a small beak. Rock over.

2. "Burlfest" v5?- One of the best problems at Brownwood. Although it may look like an eliminate, it is in fact the more obvious line than the crack (Panzyfest), and follows the edge of the sloping arete. Start seated on two good slopers and move up to two bad slopers. Move into a gaston and crimp match and then throw out to a good hold on the face below the lip. Bump the left hand to the good hold marked by a beak and the right hand to the back sloping corner of the boulder. Mantle.

3. Project- Starting from a sit, find a way to establish on the arete and move into the good face hold on Burlfest, and top out Burlfest.
