Soulslinger. One of the Buttermilks’s most iconic problems. At V9 it is tops on the ticklist of many who aspire to climb hard problems, but cannot pull down on double digit testpieces like The Mandala (V12) or Stained Glass (V10). Like many of the problems at the Buttermilks, it has a convenient boulder adjacent to it that gets you in perfect position to take killer top-down photos.

When I was done molesting the “holds” on The Buttermilker, made famous by Dave Graham in Dosage 1, I walked 10 feet up the hill to try Cave Problem (V4/5/6?).

Stuck On Yosemite
A few friends of ours, David, Rachel and Eddie, have been out in Yosemite for the past few weeks. After a few tantalizing emails about their exploits they were kind enough to share some photos. The first few are from Rachel and Eddie’s recent ascent of the uber famous 5.11 Astroman followed by all 3 on the equally uber famous Separate Reality (5.12ish?).
