Today our hostess Lindsay (pictured above) had boring class all day, after a night last night that ended with someone getting their underpants torn in a wedgie attempt and someone else getting a nosebleed from a thermarest to the face. So after a little sleep in me and Luke headed out to Crystal Crescent Beach to do some bouldering sans hostess.
CCB is a really beautiful spot, there are 3 white sandy beaches, the third of which is known as a nude beach. Apparently some people are pretty seriously committed to getting their naked on, because as we were leaving I was feeling chilly in a t shirt and shorts but there were still two old dudes chillin in the buff.
The bouldering is on a variety of clean granite sea walls, most of which is pretty easy to moderate, the hardest problem listed in the guidebook for this area is v6. (i think i might do a bouldering grade explanation at some point soon in case any non climbers are trying to read this). The granite has very big crystals and is very coarse and hard on the fingertips after a very short amount of climbing.
We stayed out all afternoon and climbing alot of problems. Luke is getting back into bouldering shape fast and was stoked to send the V4 "Figure 4 thing" which sadly didn't actually involve a figure 4.
