Friday Jay and I went out on another 6:30am romp. this time to some more local crags Chimney rock and the Sourlands. We head to Jay's buddy Harley's pad scoop him up and head towards Chimney rock. Only a couple miles away from a quarry the rock is covered in dust so we cleaned up a bit and I started to mess around with some holds. A few hours later we had a new problem and we named it "the Nest" V3 due to the birds nest in the cave. badass.

Then a little down the way's we found a nice little overhang and threw up another problem dubbed, Smearn' Off V4. Around 12 we hiked our way back to the car and headed for the Sourlands.
After a half hour hike we came to a nice outcropping of decent sized boulders and scouted around. There wasn't much chalk which got us all excited. We scouted some rocks for possible problems and found a V0 looking problem to warm up on.

On that same boulder is where we stayed for a another hour or so messing around with holds and came up with, Easy Pesy Lemon Squeezy V1. It starts in the middle of the boulder on 2 crimps and goes up the arete to a nice crack and a super friction sloper to the topout. It was a fun little problem and we were still pumped for more when it started to rain a bit so we packed up and planned for another day. Good day we got three more for the book.
