Ladies take on the Sad Boulders

It's finally getting cool enough to boulder on the Tableland again, and the crowds are beginning to flock to the Happies and the Sads. And with such a large amount of cool steep climbing, who can blame them? Two fine ladies recently had a go at such Sad classics as Anti-Hero and French Press, and I snapped the pics.

Last Light at the Sad Boulders

The Prozac Nation Bluffs at the Sad Boulders face pretty much due west. As such, they catch the last rays of winter sun on any given day. This fact, as well as the collection of twenty or so moderately graded (v1-v5) and moderately tall (10-18 feet) boulder problems, makes the Prozac Nation Bluffs the ideal spot for a quick after-work burn on a winter evening. It was just such a session the other day when I happened to snap this shot of Patrick running a lap on the namesake boulder problem Prozac Nation (v2). Check it out:
