New Problems in the LOC

Nate, Krissy,and I got out for an afternoon session on Sunday. First we headed to Corn and Bung where Nate was working on Dancing to the New Bolero. He was getting very close and should send next time out. Krissy was working Joe Boxer, and once again was very close - falling stabbing into the finger lock...maybe next time.

Next we headed back to some boulders that Nate showed me last fall. There is some potential for a few quality lines here. The first problem to go down was Marginal Failure (v8ish), a steep bulge/arete thing. It starts on a large crystal jug and moves up some interesting powerful slaps to a vary trick top-out. The next problem we cleaned was a steep fin feature - Braking Bad (v6/7ish). The problems starts by squeezing a double arete feature and then tops out up the fin. It is possible that the easiest beta for this problem could be climbing feet first out the roof...maybe?
