Broken Symmetry

Another noteworthy Dacite problem is found in middle Elden. As far as I know Broken Symmetry is still unrepeated as the strange mix of finesse and power has left suitors unsuccessful but feeling the problems is possible. Definitely one I'd love to go back to.

Flagstaff, AZ

We are back in Sweden and it's nice to be home. I'm already planning my onslaught of Swedish projects but first we've got to shake off the jet-lag and move back into our home.


Until we dive back into the Swedish scene I'll try to post some photos from the last few weeks in the States. Here are a few from Flagstaff, AZ.

This picture doesn't do the problem justice. Broken Symmetry withstood our 30 minute assualt but I can't wait to go back

A Few more from Flag

Here's another vid from my few day's in Flag. It consists of the Puzzle Box roof and some of the 5 Star problems on Mt Elden. The Puzzle Box is just another sweet roof in Priest's Draw that I did my own circuit on (not nearly as impressive as Sam) and the 5 Stars are obscure dacite problems on Mt Elden. It's worth noting that there are actually five 5 Stars and the only thing that kept Mike and I from completing them all was an early afternoon downpour. So it goes. I guess I have something to go back to.

Many thanks to Jason Jackson (aka #1) for giving me the tour of the 5 Stars. It was nice seeing something new in Flagtown and actually made me think about moving back there.
