Larch Bouldering

On Saturday I headed out to Larch Mountain in Washington to go bouldering. I have been up there before and really liked the rock and area. I have been focusing on a boulder we call the Levenworth boulder witch has some incredible lines on it.
It is about 30 feet long and from 8 to 18 feet high and overhung. The rock is hard andusite with nice holds.

I have been working my way across the boulder doing FA's. First the stand start the the sit if it fits. This day I did some trail work and cleaned the rest of the boulder plus started on the boulder below this one. It is like a 1 minute hike from the car for this one.

After some warmup's I hit the project witch was to send the sit start to Iron Giant V4 witch I had done the Thursday before. It took 4 tries and a fall from about 12 feet but it when't down and was incredible. What a day.
