this is a good boulder with an interesting topout. a must do while at Coop's

first moves off "new-to-us" boulder problem. image taken with with 18-70mm lens with a nikon d70. photo by mort batchelder. anyone have information on this route, please note.

This was a Fall weekend trip where Danny was verifing some grades...and he came up with this route to add to the guide and list of routes.

This was the same weekend trip to verify grades and have some fun. Maggie redpointed this route as well. Just FYI the route started on the wall facing the camera...Maggie is on the last few moves.

I'll admit it was a redpoint...FA of this route. The pic was taken by Mark Goerlich from the top of the route. This was a few moves from the end.

I took this of my friend, Bryan, while he got ready to climb...Coopers is a very beautiful place and apparently not that frequented. We seen all kinds of chalk on bouldering rocks, but in 2 days we only saw 1 other person.

Beta Bob showed us this hidden cave near the Fin. It was pretty dark, but Night Vision shows us a few possible problems.

This is the best arete in Coopers (my opinion). I can't make the second move, but it's frickin sweet.
Eli shows me how it's done.

I love slab almost as much as I love aretes. Fiddle rock has one of the best varieties of slab at Coopers. This route is about 3 feet right of Newbie Route. The top is slightly tricky. The key is the high step.

It also seems that the photog liked to cut off my feet.

Lee working on Bismark.
The dampness didn't do us well.

Lee brushes a hold to try and dry it out a bit w/ a makeshift tool.

I'm realizing I took way too many shots of this problem.
Here's Eli again.

The "Fin Arete" is a must do at coopers.... kinda pumpy
