Only one week into it, and Paul <strong>crushes<\/strong> the Rocklands classic, <em>Nutsa 8a+<\/em>.  This climb was listed at the top of Paul&#8217;s boulder problem wish list.  A climb which he and I both thought would take multiple days of effort to complete.  I can honestly say though (with a great deal of envy!) that this climb went down very easily for him.  <\/p>\n<p>Two days ago Paul tried it for the first time, linking the start all the way up to the crux after only a few attempts.  By the end of a short 1 hour session on it, he had it linked into two separate sections.  <\/p>\n<p>We rested yesterday and went back to it today after a full day of climbing at the Road Crew Boulders.  I could tell Paul was &#8216;takin&#8217; it easy&#8217; at Road Crew.  He was gearing up for some sending go&#8217;s on Nutsa.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re not usually ones to rant and rave about &#8220;conditions&#8221; (i.e. weather temps, humidity, wind, etc.) but I&#8217;ll admit, on this particular afternoon conditions couldn&#8217;t have been more perfect under the A Question of Balance Boulder, home to Nutsa.  The cool and crisp cloudy weather was nice, yes, but it was the lonely solitude that we really consider to be &#8220;perfect conditions.&#8221;  It was under these perfect conditions that Paul laced up and promptly ticked Nutsa.<\/p>\n<p>So now, with the #1 climb on his tick list already checked off after only 1 week, what will the next 7 weeks hold?!  It&#8217;s almost too exciting to think about.  Paul&#8217;s mind is spinning with the dozens of other classic lines to choose from.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.apadventures.net\/images\/day50Post2.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\nApril warming up on Boulder L at the Road Crew Boulders<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.apadventures.net\/images\/day50Post3.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\nApril warming up on Boulder L at the Road Crew Boulders<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.apadventures.net\/images\/day50Post3a.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.apadventures.net\/images\/day50Post4.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\nRoad Crew Boulders<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.apadventures.net\/images\/day50Post5.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\nPaul sending <em>Rooi Klavier 7c<\/em> at the Road Crew Boulders<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.apadventures.net\/images\/day50Post6.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\nWalking to the car at sunset<\/p>\n<p>posted by arr<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Paul sticking the crux move on Nutsa 8a+ First big tick of the trip!!
