Boulders are Beautiful

So I've been making a movie about a local climbing area. I'm really excited about it. With that being said, I have also been getting destroyed both physically and mentally by climbing these boulders and it has been a little hard to stay motivated. I was just shown this particular boulder problem the other day though and my motivation came back a little. It's incredible. It's called the tsunami boulder.

Climb of the Century

This is "Climb of the Century in Eldorado Canyon. It's located on the Rincon Wall which hosts a lot of single pitch classics. This particular climb is a very serious endevor due to the poor gear on the route. It's a killer line though. Very aesthetic. It took me two trips to Boulder to finally send this route. I believe the route was first climbed by Alec Sharp, the expatriate brit that lived in Boulder. Maybe thats why it has a serious nature about it.
