It was still a little warm for those hard classic hp sloper problems in early October, but the climbing was still amazing and slush puppy went down just fine. Climber mwurzel, Photo by rcshaw

Love HP40... I never lost so much skin sooo quickly. Most on this route. Very cool route, and even better people to work it with.

Talk about some rounded holds on this one!

Feeling the satisfaction of the final hold on bumboy. How nice. Photo taken by my friend Jen.

One of the most fun lines I have ever done, You can't really explain HP40 slopers till you touch them.

Me dynoing on Genesis (stout V3, especially if you're 5'3") at Horse Pens 40 during November 2005.

i really didn't think this was the problem for me, but brought my tall friend jay over to work it. i figured i'd be the spotter but it looked like fun so i tried it out.
here i am, just got the two campus moves out from the stand start. at this point i got my feet up and my friend put the camera down to spot slash hold the extra pad over the rock just beside this line.
it was a lot of fun and i was really surprised that i got it since i don't have many opportunities to campus. i think we counted 7 hand moves and 3 foot moves for the entire problem, which is inverse to the sorts of problems i normally climb.

Jay and bin-hurtin given me moral support on my first trip to the southern slopers of hp40

Such a cool problem, i have travelled a good bit but never seen rock formations like this. It is such a short problem, but the top out is still so far away, and the rock between you and it is ohhh so slopey.

Friday, Nov. 4 at HP40. Trying to figure out the beta for Bum Boy and near 80 degree temps. I didn't get it on Friday. I sent it early on Saturday morning during the Triple Crown comp, while it was still a little bit cool out. Thanks Clowe for snapping the shot!

Second place finisher on the 2nd leg of the Triple Crown at HP40. Concentrating Hard on this fun difficult traverse.

Even after a hard days climbing at the Triple Crown everyone was still psyched to get out and climb after the awards ceremony. The millipede area had at least 25 people in it alone!

After a few attempts and missing just left of the good friction, this shot was taken as I stick the final move on Genesis at HP40. Thanks for the beta and waiting at the top of the rock, Mike.

this is my bud Andrew Thain on Bum Boy a V4 at horse pens. In my opinion, one of the best lines they have to offer. Make sure you brush those hold though.
