Title: My swan song to choss bouldering in the Bay
Post by: mungeclimber on April 18, 2021, 08:13:29 PM: https://www.mountainproject.com/area/120571058/vargas-plateau

Was an epic sesh. Almost died. Frost bite was bad. Avy danger off the charts of even the Daulaghiri scale.

All FAs. No signs of actual climbing. The one wall that might make a decent problem tops out into a poison oak bush. I left that for the next generation.

My guidebook to the area will come out in Spring of 2020.

I heard on a 2nd account that:
Excessive crash pads were used.
You employed a step ladder for hold preview and convivence hold scrubbing.

Puttery is a good name for the consistency of some of the flakes.

I can be venmo'd for guided bouldering sessions. Let me know. We can make your choss dreams come true!

Post by: mungeclimber on June 16, 2021, 08:10:58 PM: well, several emails later, they at least sent me a screen print of what I had posted about the Supercrack of the Vargas Plateau. Allegedly its a 'sensitive area' which makes me think a non-climber as been added as an admin to mtn project since there isn't anything sensitive about the rocks, the public park, and the complete lack of any access issues.

Today I bring you new choss from the Gray Area.

https://www.mountainproject.com/area/107781311/castle-rock-boulder

The Direct South Arete of Castle Rock Boulder was sent today. 5.3*** Low angle VERY polished slab yields a series of reasonable holds that aren't total slip and fall lawyer material. Once on the summit you'll find a tiny PO bush and an old quarter inch bolt hole (no metal). Clearly the crag has seen lots of activity over the years. The north west face has a crack splitting it that looks fun, but I was skart at how slipperty it twas.

Get it while you can! Looks like the EB parks dept closed at least one of the other areas that was listed on mtn project.
