I got out to Boulder Canyon briefly today to try Candelaria’s Crack, a 5.11+/5.12- fingers roof crack. It was super windy (my pad blew 100 yards away–into the creek), and the climb was shady. It felt pretty cold for 60 deg. F.
After pretending a Thermarest and my pad wouldn’t blow away, and would catch a 15-20 footer, I bailed. I need another crash pad.
I couldn’t top it out. I’ll go back with a spotter and another pad next weekend.
Interesting use of a Thermarest, however maybe you should consider investing in an air mattress…
That problem looks fun! Good video.
That’s hilarious! The problem looks tough – and pretty committing.
