Again, amazing boulders in an amazing setting.  I\u2019d seen in a video that Riverside holds the ultimate classic, Dragonfly Traverse, 7a+.  Beautiful red standstone slopers, next to a little waterfall and pool.  I was determined to seek this out as my own little project.  I spotted the line first as we hiked up the approach.  And even from 100 feet away, I could tell it was an aesthetic classic.<\/p>\n<p>After a few easy warm-ups, we were so excited that we got right to business and laced up for Dragonfly.  Immediately upon trying the first move, I knew that this 7a+ wasn\u2019t going to go down easily.  Paul ticked his send after a few go\u2019s (with the comment that it felt a hell of a lot harder than 7a+) and then started working and eventually sent the direct line up the wall, Metamorphosis, 7b+.  Me, on the other hand, was hardly able to link more than 2 moves in a row, with one move being a total stopper that I wasn\u2019t even close to hitting.  Perhaps it\u2019s my lack of sloper strength after all that Hueco climbing, (oh no!).  Immediately, I got discouraged, worried that 2 months wasn\u2019t going to be long enough to complete such a perfect line as this.  After working it for a bit, I decided to come back in a week (hopefully stronger) to gauge then, whether or not I have a shot at possibly sending.  <\/p>\n<p>And in the meantime, I will no doubt find a handful of other dreamily aesthetic lines.  \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.apadventures.net\/images\/day48Post2.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\n<em>No Name 4<\/em> at the Riverside Boulders<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.apadventures.net\/images\/day48Post3.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\n<em>Dragonfly Traverse 7a+<\/em> at the Riverside Boulders<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.apadventures.net\/images\/day48Post4.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\n<em>Dragonfly Traverse 7a+<\/em> at the Riverside Boulders<\/p>\n<p><em>posted by arr<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dragonfly Traverse 7a+ at the Riverside Boulders Today\u2019s bouldering day was at the Riverside Boulders.
