Recovering Trad addict The terrible thing about this addiction is that it can hit anyone and can be easily hidden from loved ones in it's early stages. For the trad addicts that can't go cold turky we give them a little hit in the form of bouldering, just enough to take the edge off.
Although Gabe (sbaclimber) isn't far enough along in the program that he feels comfortable climbing without a harness, you will note he did only load up with quick draws, choosing to leave his serious trad gear in the bag. (Well done Gabe!!) Some people, like sbaclimber, may never fully recover from this all-consuming addiction that is trad climbing but they can still go on to lead full and productive lives with a little support. ( PM socialclimber regarding donations)

100x slab, v4 Flock HillNicole working the 100 times slab. This is one of my favorite problems. It is as steep as it looks. You can work it for ages and not lose any skin or pop any pullies on it. And with the thousands of little water runnells carved into it, a beautiful piece of rock.

Seth at Wuthering HeightsIt's an easy problem with a bad landing but too aesthetic to ignore. probably around v1. The Dark Castle(lower left), Quantum Field(center) and Spittle Hill (back) stretch out at the bottom of the hill.
