Carson Area Bouldering / Washoe Valley; Carson City NV 1/14/17

By mid January I had managed more ski rentals then exist people crawling upon the face of the earth, so I was ready to take a day away from the industry and go do some climbing.  Amanda and I grabbed our gear and drove out to the Washoe boulders for a fun day out.  The road was thrashed from the consecutive 10year floods, who would have guessed?  Though I have to say, the Subaru passed several actual trucks that had seen enough and choose to huff it on foot the rest of the way to the boulders.  We warmed up on the traverse, then sent the Silver Surfer which is my favorite moderate climb for that location.  I tried the lower moves of the v5 dyno problem with no luck, and then worked through the lower half of Escape from Alcatraz v3 seen below.  Nothing too hard, but better than climbing on plastic any day of the week.
