My husband and I decided to go bouldering at Horsepens. No idea what Area this is

Joshua Henson on sandtrap, a pretty tough v2. It is short with just 4 moves. Upper body strenth is the key because there is know foothold due to loose sand(sandtrap). photo taken by Kyle Wilkerson

Darren on Boogey Wonderland at the Front Slabs. Funky highball!

during my stay at horsepens, mulletino was adopted as my project. here i am working it on the warmest day of my visit.
after this move i get a solid toe hook around the corner and bump to a jug. this is the move where i feel like a starfish glued to the underside of the rock. much fun ensues.

Daniel Woods, Winner of the second leg of the triple crown bouldering tour at HP40, sending this sharp and crimpy problem.

Copa Cabana, climbed during the Horse Pens 40 competition during the 2004 Triple Crown of Bouldering.

Just stopped by Horse pens on the way to the airport and LOVED it! Next time its got to ba a destination.

Lisa Rands won this years Triple Crown event, and loves to come to the south and climb.

The lowdown quickly became my project for the trip. This was one of many attempts when I was quite close to finishing.
Here I am about to slap the sloper to prepare for the mantle finish.

i ended up completing the problem later in the day, after dark with a headlamp to see where i was going.

I went on vacation to AL the end of July (2004). Being in the south everyone was really nice and I was able to climb with some locals. This pic is of "Tony" on a v3

This is the crux move of spirit(at least for me), a really fun problem at horse pens 40. Taken by Christian Battista last Febuary

My Buddy Scott took this picture of me warming up at HorsePens 40. Maybe a V4-V5. Oh, my friends and i got happy with the scissors the night before...thus, the mullet.

This is me pulling into the "resting" part of Popeye at Horse Pens 40 in Alabama.

It was a cold day in Alabama, with little flurries, and thats rare in Alabama. I fumbled with the camera as I took the picture but I liked the blurred result, so I messed with the color a little bit. See what you think.

Greg Rueff finishing off a really awesome problem just to the right of spirit.

Here is Brion Voges about to attempt the first move on Hugs and Kisses. If you think this crimp is tiny wait till you bump up with your left to a crimp thats probably less than half a pad.

really satisfying sequence. had me a bit confused initially, but with the right "stuff" went off without a hitch. photo: greg rueff

Series of shots showing the opening sequence of Popeye at HP40. After seeing some videos of other climbers on this I realize that you don’t have to campus the start move.

Even though it looks like he's sitting down he's not. Pretty fun problem.
