The Marble Boulder

Well today we stumbled across a gem. After work Tim decided to show Drew and I a cool new boulder that he had ran across on the camp property and man is it amazing! There are several lines all along it with a nice over hung section about 20 feet long. On the back side there is also a very nice slabby type route which I nabbed a possible FA on. Back around to the front of the boulder though Drew was doing his thing and set several cool routes. First was a nice little warm up thing. Next, was a direct finish from a matched sit start low on the boulder that he named "Tobasco to the Face." After that we began to work out a variation to the direct finish that traverses a little further right and then works out on some crimps and nice slots. I don't think that Drew really came up with a name for this one yet but it's pretty awesome and I came close to sending and hope to finish this one up tomorrow. I'll post some pictures of the Marble Boulder up tomorrow after our day there in the morning and tomorrow evening at the Suzuki Boulder!
