What a day! It began with rain and ended with rain, but everything in between was perfect. Mike B suggested we do his 4 star workout circuit, and if you have ever bouldered with Mike B, then you know in his eyes, a problem isn't 4 stars unless its at least 20 feet tall.
We began in an area of upper Flagstaff I didn't even know existed. It is above the Upper Y and consists of almost all overhanging boulders. We warmed up on a few classy highballs, then went over to Pat Arment's "The Stand." Perhaps the best at its grade on Flagstaff. We then worked our way down, and ended this brilliant day on Big Overhang, in my opinion the best V2 I've been on in Colorado.

Charlie has such great climbing faces. Wish this photo had turned out a bit better.
Mike floating up Standard Route. Supposedly a V0. Yeah Right Mikey.
