I MISS SLAUGHTER BRO COME CLIMBING WITH EVELYN AND I ON THIS EXTREMELY FUN, CHILL, SAFE, AND BEGINNER-FRIENDLY BOULDERING EXCURSION TO THE SWEET, SWEET QUANTUM DOT AT RAGGED RESERVOIR. (see mountain project https://www.mountainproject.com/area/123530723/quantum-dot-boulder) The grades are all very chill if you can do a V1 in slaughter you can do something here surely.
This boulder is so silly. Sometimes the holds flake off right out from under your fingers but that’s no problem it’s kind of a fun little surprise challenge. QUANTUM DOT is great for a quick afternoon fall trip of joy and serenity. Which is what we will be doing.
You don’t have to have climbed outside before to try this! This is great if you want to try outdoor bouldering for the first time! It might be good to have a previous understanding of how to fall, so if you have never indoor climbed before please let us know so that we can go over falling & spotting techniques with you before u get up there.
The Plan:
– meet at gear room at 3pm feeling extremely great and energized from halloween, grab crash pads (if you get lost we will find you.)
– i drive us to QUANTUM DOT (15 min)
– approach is ~23 min of walking in the woods. very chill
– climb climb climb yip yip yip
– walk back before dark, drive back home and drop off pads
You bring:
– climbing shoes (don’t have your own? fret not. you can grab them from the gear room with me before we leave and return them when we return)
– chalk (there’s also lots of great dust around this boulder if you don’t have chalk. i’m very serious)
– snack/dinner/water? for a little sunset feast? perchance?
We bring:
– crash pads
– you to the QUANTUM DOT
OK THAT’S IT. IT WILL BE A GOOD TIME. IF U HAVE QUESTIONS/CONCERNS TEXT ME – 5408408024
