I've been home for about a week now. So far so good! I got out to Bradley Mt. the other day. Bradley's a 20 min drive from where I grew up. It's not the best but sure isn't the worst. It's my local spot. The weather here's been great, sunny and in the 40's. Nows the time to make a run for it since the weather always craps out. I started off the day checking out this new boulder my dawg Burg's been telling me about. It's a dope lil' one settled in the corner of an apple orchard. There only a few lines on it but what's there is quality. Below are some pics from the test piece of the boulder, Granny Smith. It's a nice compression 7C with a cool pinch move at the end.
After we session-ed the block for an hour, we moved on the the Graffiti Wall which is located at the main area of Bradley. There a few test pieces here including The Book of Bitter Aspects. The Book is a unrepeated 8b+ established by Dave Graham years ago. I've been looking at this line since it was put up. This time to my surprise it felt doable. Meaning I could hang on the holds and move off them. Its only two moves into a V8 high ball finish. This is going to be my main objective in CT. until summer comes. After I tried The Book I moved on to Busted Shadow, V11, which is a few feet to the right. I surprised myself by doing it first try this year. My Friend Greg captured the send a few moves in. All in all it was a great first day back at my local boulders.
