So Tuesday me and a few friends if mine went bouldering at a new area at the New River Gorge called Teays Landing . Its a new spot that we have been developing over the last month or so. Its pretty small spot there is only two boulders with about 20 problems total. Even though its small its a area the problems and rock quality is amazing. The main boulder is about 15 foot tall and mostly vertical or slab. There is a few problems at are slightly over hung which allows you to pull on some really small holds. The problems on this boulder range from v0 to v7, there are a few open projects that are really good lines, they just haven't gone yet.The other boulder is pretty big but only one side is climbable. The problems on this boulder are all on the down hill. It dosent look like much from the from above but when you walk around the back side its a steep 17 foot face. Most of the holds on this face a pretty good holds there just really far apart which makes for some really dynamic climbing. Theres a line that hasnt gone yet that goes right up the center. It starts on two slopey crimps about face hight, you have to pull up and campus to a incut crimpy seam thats about half a pad. Then you have to get a right toe and toe hook the underside of the boulder with your right, so that you match on the seam. From there you hike you left foot up and rock over into a undercling side pull. Then you have to do a very hard foot match to set you up for the crux move, get settled in on the undercling and stand up doing about a 5 foot right hand movement that is extremely low percentage. This video is this project and a fun v5 on a boulder by its self in the same area. This is the first video i have edited or filmed so sorry its not that great and the music is just funny .
