bouldering season in Halifax



Yesterday I went out with some friends at Hephalump and Chebucto Head. Conditions are great right now for bouldering. I am realizing more and more that some of the testpieces around here have extremely cryptic beta! It is unbelievable sometimes. I can try problems that I put up many years ago and it will take me a long time to remember the sequence. Sometimes for problems I should be able to resend in just a few goes. It reminds me of Fontainebleau. Very beta intensive. I think my next book could be on testpiece beta.
