| Starship Enterprise (8A) | Very nice, wore a kneepad, did nothing with it. The ending is very satisfying |

| Intergalactic (7C) | Probably would have gone in one short session if I hadn't needed to get home early. Came back two days later post thunderstorms to the slopers being quite damp. Still sent second go. |

| Hades (7A+) | Canadian wildfire smoke cast an eerie red light over Bodine, giving the boulder appropriately hellish vibes. Wish I also did Cerberus in these conditions but at least I got some nice photos. Such a sick line; 3rd go and definitely could have done it 1st go, so I’ll opt for V7. |

| 40 is the new 20 (7B+) | Excellent rock climb that is a bit too low to the ground. Felt pretty easy for me, but its very my style. Friends tell me not easier than V8 which is probably reasonable! low start is fire and probably like 8A+/B |

| Wormhole (8A) | Inspired by some European ass draggers, I wanted to create a passageway boulder problem. Found a cool start hold and a sloping rail and decided to move a few hundred pounds of rock to make it climbable. Cruxy and odd tension to start. Precision and mindfulness required not to dab... might be a grade easier if you are not strict about dabbing, but dabbing isnt necessary. Dropped off a good number of times after mildly dabbing before making it happen. Tough to grade such an odd climb -- did my best but might be wrong. |

| Flip Phone (7B) | Figured out beta that made this feel easy. Funky first few holds, then fun pumpy climbing. |

| Cerberus (7C+) | 2nd go from the bottom after 3 turns sussing. hit the rugged deadpoint once, and on the send go. surprising and lucky! Not sure how to grade this style, but I know gavin and bart put solid effort in and it felt hard on the send go. 7C/+ |

| Hades (7B) | New one. starts the same as gates of hell/cerberus but goes straight out the steepest part of the arete. Felt pretty easy for me and I climbed it twice, but strong friends struggled a bit. somewhere between 7A and 7C. Dont roll down the hill! |

| Earthworm (7A) | start on the sloping jug slots in the roof and do a cool recycle sequence off a perfect slug hold. lowball. wormhole to come hopefully |

| The Diamond (7A+) | striking little arete with a thought provoking mantle. Took me a bit to figure out. heard v6-v8 on this, which seems correct |

| Starship Enterprise (8A) | Very excited to make what I think is a very good addition to Northern PA bouldering. Grade is my best guess but it felt solid 8A with my beta, although different beta certainly exists. Great rock, aesthetics, grips and movement. Only way it could be a little cooler to me is if you couldn't do the V6 exit. |
