NEW PROBLEMS
Here are some new problems not found in the 2nd edition of the guide.
West Side Boulderfield Cluster Area Eric's Box - V9 **
This problem is on a separate boulder, to the right of Lewis Lunge. Begin at the low, undercut roof, hands on two small crimps under the roof. Climb powerfully out and over the roof and mantle.
Historical note: This problem used to be called The Fragile Roof and was rated V5. The problem began at a huge, block that flexed and was loose. At some point around 1996, the block fell off and the problem was no more. The large, dark shadow where the block used to be can still be seen today. It is great that this new problem has brought new life to this boulder once again!
