Home to the best bouldering and climbing in all of Ohio, need I say more. This blog is collaborative collection of online guides, notes and culture of the Athens climbing.SOHI Boulderinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12171230868412969164noreply@blogger.comBlogger68125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2243301409805076467.post-44106295895748531522012-12-10T11:40:00.001-08:002012-12-10T11:40:06.165-08:00Part Two: How to develop your Woodie!<br />
So based on the questions asked in the first post, I think the first question you need to ask is "<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">Who is the user group for my woodie?"</span> By this question I mean; Is the wall going to be only for you as a training device? Is it going to be for fun-times with beginner friends? Are little ones, such as kids going to be using it? Answering these questions will help guide the design process.<br />
<br />
The second set of questions I would ask are;<br />
<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">How big is the space you have to work with?</span></li>
<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">Can I mount to existing Structures?</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">Will the floor structure carry the weight of my Woodie?</span></li>
</ul>
</ul>

So below are some photos of walls that I have been involved with, and some from other blog authors.<br />

The summer break from classes has seen many people off on trips and away from Athens and our beloved boulders (if not mentally, at least physically). Fear not though! With the return of the fall semester and cooler temps, climbers will spill out of the wood work and get busy scrubbing the summer lichen off the best stone in Ohio. If you're new to the area and looking to climb, then welcome! The boulders around Athens have a lot to offer for those who are unafraid of a little dirt and moss, or committing to a scary "Athens mantle". Check out some of the nifty topos/guides linked above to get yourself headed in the right direction, or give a shout over on the AthensBouldering FB page if you've got questions. If you're an ol' Athens vet, then you know the deal - boulders need traffic to stay clean and climbable. Do your part by sending the gnar! And while I know the words I'm writing are <i>very </i>intellectually<i> </i>stimulating, we could use some pretty new pictures to liven this place up. So if you've got an expensive DSLR just sitting around *<i>cough</i>*Corey*<i>cough</i>*, toss that puppy into your bouldering gear and snap a few butt shots. <div>

Hope to see you out there.</div>

Hey all! This past weekend I saw several people taking advantage of this amazing unusually warm weather, and although birds nest still might not be dry for another few seasons there is still plenty of sending going on including a plethora of FA's. With OU and Hocking's comp's just around the corner get yourself outside, enjoy the amazing weather and train your face off so you can win some sweet stuff at these comps!Coreyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12554071599331232525noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2243301409805076467.post-49419164848093703122011-12-07T08:37:00.000-08:002011-12-07T10:08:22.094-08:00Southern Deployment<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZ7XtreIcmsXj_WaBHxthR85mVoJc8ycnOOQ6sbZZNpNDNjRjduPM782AUypoTUseyCpSyD32MFSaqHGOquYXupgldnRIWNrTY-5Jqtvc-CsJ6EUGFzTIA_HkilPkPV-znEZKOTw94KEMD/s1600/IMG_2384.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZ7XtreIcmsXj_WaBHxthR85mVoJc8ycnOOQ6sbZZNpNDNjRjduPM782AUypoTUseyCpSyD32MFSaqHGOquYXupgldnRIWNrTY-5Jqtvc-CsJ6EUGFzTIA_HkilPkPV-znEZKOTw94KEMD/s400/IMG_2384.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5683437436916771410" border="0" /></a><br />With winter, along comes the want to stretch the season. To pinch out a few more days, and escape the gray sky often looming above Ohio. Not to mention a six week winter break for O.U. students, the last of the 6 week gaps, ever to exist, ever. Seems like a good enough reason to justify the ~12 hour drive to the Deep South.<br /> After bouncing around the states with Daniel, the weather in Rocktown straightened itself out and we met up with the O.U.O.P. crew piloted by Dustyn and Tailor, with a slew of enthusiasts not to be forgotten. With our reunion came days of sunshine and mornings full of hood remixtures and gangsta' rap.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJEraa2CX3eh0_Uafd16Gn7aIgr7ghpL1WM3ORu9xIvwi22Tamt-5Lcuss4ooadQxDCS1AYCzSZUCmi8WRnrRQUPFl1b3Fql5Hgfp3Pn84YMDPTZ6aItZuAQQe54Z5iIvOMmPjvJE-sXi5/s1600/IMG_2398.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer;

A former Athenian sent a question to a few fellow climbers. His message is posted below:<br />

So, since receiving his email it reignited my interest to add a home wall section to the blog.<br />
<br />
After thinking about the topic for a bit I came up with a few questions you will need to ask yourself before beginning your home wall.<br />
<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">What are my construction capabilities?</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">How big is the space you have to work with?</span></li>
<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">Can I mount to existing Structures?</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">Will the floor structure carry the weight of my Woodie?</span></li>
</ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">Who is the user group for my woodie?</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">What type of budget to I have to work with?</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
This is just a starting list that will probably grow as we continue this project.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As part of this project I will be constructing a new woodie in my garage. I will try to document the project as much as possible.<br />
<br />
<i>I know this is already posted under the "Home Walls" page. But I am going to be posting them as blog entries and pasting them under the home walls section too. I will also link all comments to the page section too. Let me know if you have any comments on the article, I plan to update the previous articles if people have suggestion for home wall construction. -Thanks, Tim.</i></div>Timhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01329813180242102549noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2243301409805076467.post-84508549905631194322011-11-02T15:05:00.000-07:002011-11-02T15:05:45.648-07:00Arching Nemesis Project GoesThe Arching Nemesis Project at the Superman Area just went down!

One of the projects up at the Lions Wall went down. "King Scar" was the project on the right most side of the wall, that climbed a slightly overhung face through crimps and slopers to the top.<br />
<br />
Here is what the first ascentionist, Aaron Schneider had to say about it from his 8a card<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #212126; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica; font-size: x-small;">:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #212126; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica; font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica;"><i>"Hard DESPERATE. Lurched to the last hold and managed to snag it off the heinous slopers. So psyched to put this one down. First double digit line (that I'm aware of) in Ohio, and a HARD 7C+ at that. Awesome Athen's crew to get me psyched. More lines to go."</i></span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica; font-size: x-small;">I know it's not the first double digit line in Ohio, but it is the first for Athens. They have a video of both the new lines which they should be posting soon.</span><br />

Think about it next time your beaching yourself on the topout of “Pot-O-Gold” or praying to God /Allah/Xenu that your heel doesn't pop at the top of “50 Grit”. If you're climbing on a cheap crashpad, its akin to allowing a sub par actor who's career is slowly dying with Two and a Half Men go to town on your ankles with a mallet. As climbers, we live and die by our gear. You wouldn't climb on a rope you knew was sub par, just as you wouldn't rack cams that have seen two too many falls. Why climb above a crashpad that is made with cheap foam, sub-par nylon and carelessness towards construction?</p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnPKImd-zyOakzWsUUsf8kuQ9-b4rmBjTPAjeMsl5DmAmZWIu-Eq5k5Bezv7XpesWgn-5z71MGcoKSVTkBHlpOf8RQKTerngMLqZe7_oRpBP_DOmpwUXL0A5Wdkmq1M2O7wSdp5KqiHyQ/s1600/kbates.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnPKImd-zyOakzWsUUsf8kuQ9-b4rmBjTPAjeMsl5DmAmZWIu-Eq5k5Bezv7XpesWgn-5z71MGcoKSVTkBHlpOf8RQKTerngMLqZe7_oRpBP_DOmpwUXL0A5Wdkmq1M2O7wSdp5KqiHyQ/s320/kbates.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5659064804503486738" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 239px; " /></a><div><div style="text-align: center; "><u><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; "></p><p style="text-align: left; margin-bottom: 0in; "></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; ">Recently, there's been a movement among boulderers to hold their crashpads to the same standards as they hold their harnesses and ropes, we want the best. While the larger companies churn out 'budget' pads, the guys at outfits like Organic and Revolution strive to be the best. I came to the realization recently that I was climbing above a junk pad, and decided to invest in a new, bulletproof mat. I began my search and arrived at Revolution and Organic, first and foremost because of the standards they hold themselves to. Revolution has been making cutting edge bouldering gear for over a decade, and Organic is making a name for themselves as master craftsmen of fine bouldering gear. Both are made in the U.S of A by Americans, and are used by some of the strongest climbers our country has produced.<span class="Apple-style-span"></span></p><p></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; "></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; ">The Revolution Supreme:</p></u></div></div></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEippRt2_82eDJnnRffsE8lVec4V4-BbtymSVQusMHdf9PY1QVSiAiHNIBNIVWM9NRH9yGgLb3lBFtlVFusajuiNspV6RH-gXiqTjwW1B-0NzdUTD7Pt-i3l9SV1qU_LKAH67pz4bo7d0Aw/s1600/supreme-back.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEippRt2_82eDJnnRffsE8lVec4V4-BbtymSVQusMHdf9PY1QVSiAiHNIBNIVWM9NRH9yGgLb3lBFtlVFusajuiNspV6RH-gXiqTjwW1B-0NzdUTD7Pt-i3l9SV1qU_LKAH67pz4bo7d0Aw/s320/supreme-back.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5659066076792411314" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px; " /></a><div><div style="text-align: center; "><p style="text-align: left; margin-bottom: 0in; "><br /></p><p style="text-decoration: underline; margin-bottom: 0in; "></p><p style="text-align: left; margin-bottom: 0in; "><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>New for 2011, The Supreme is Revolutions new flagship model.

With the ability to make colorful custom pads, you can have a pad that suits your tastes and will surely impress all the crag honeys. Made lovingly just a hop and a skip across the Mid West in Pennsylvania, the close proximity means fast shipping, AKA instant gratification. After the back ordering flub with Revolution, I sent an email to Josh Helke at Organic and had an order placed before I even really realized what was going on. A week and a half later, the biggest box my RA had ever seen shipped to a dorm arrived, and inside was bouldering salvation. After a few days of just wearing the pad around the dorm (stupid rain), I got my chance to try it for real. Let me tell you, never have I been happier to come cartwheeling off some lichen ridden choss pile. Not only does the Organic Full pad catch a fall, it envelops a falling climbers body in a perfect balance of firmness and cushion-y softness. Nothing inspires more confidence 20 feet off the deck than an Organic pad placed below.

It holds some of the earliest climbing traffic, due to its visibility and location from Ohio University’s campus. The majority of rock and problems on the hill are of some of the first to dry out in the county. There location on top of the hill provides for fast drainage and a few of the problems are on free standing boulders. The area is small but the concentration makes up for it. Contains classics such as; “The Crack” and “Double Down”.<br />
<br />
The back section of Witches area is located about 100 yards past the front area, heading away from the entrance trail. This section doesn’t contain as many problems but does contain one of the best crack problems in Athens County.<br />
<br />
This area can sometimes and quite often see the abuse of local partyers. You will easily see thier presence in the bottles and trash they leave behind. This is one area I will never go barefoot. The cave/rock shelter in the back sees most of the abuse and impact. We often carry out extra trash and encourage you to do the same.<br />

Witch’s is located on the top of the hill next to Route 33. Take Stimson to the Rt33 East ramp and then turn left on to <st1:street w:st="on"><st1:address w:st="on">Rock Riffle Rd</st1:address></st1:street> instead of getting on the interstate. Go under the over pass and park in the pull off on the left just past it<br />
<br />
<b><u>Approach:</u></b><br />
<div class="MsoNormal"><o:p><b><u></u></b></o:p></div><i> Be prepared for this steep climb!</i><br />
If you take the trail on that North side of the road(where your parked) it will take you up to bong hill. To access witches head toward the off ramp and you will find a steep trail on the other side of the culvert. Take this to the top of the hill where it will start to head in to the woods. The first rock you come to is the line Nintendo Thumb, with is part of the front section of Witches. To reach the back section continue hiking south past the front section. The front section cliff-line will break down, hike about 300ft past this to access the back section of Witches.<br />

<br />
15A.) V? <u>Light Show Project</u>: Start under the roof right of the prow on the large jug shelf. Work left out the rail to prow, then up through the pockets for the best possible path that will lead to a send. This line is very tall, with a slightly sloping landing, so bring several pads and a big friend to spot you.<br />
15B.) V? <u>Project</u>: Start on the same jug rail and the "Light Show Project" and work right up through the weakness. Heading right then back left will probably yield the best possible results.<br />
16.) V4 <u>Party Cave</u>: Located on the right side of the cave behind the small boulder that sits in the fall zone for this problem. SUS at a jug at head height make moves out roof above boulder. This one can be quite dirty often, brush the top out off if it has rained any lately.<br />

This area has been around and known for awhile. It holds some of the earliest climbing trafic, due to it visabilty and location from Ohio University’s campus. The majority of rock and problems on the hill are of some of the first to dry out in the county. There location on top of the hill provides for fast drainage and a few of the problems are on free standing boulder. The area is small but the consentration makes up for it. Contains classics such as; “Key Hole” and “Witches Traverse”.<br />

Now that we have had children, we don't plan to stop climbing, we plan to share our passion for the outdoors with our children. If you have ever seen our kids you know they small, extra small, most commercially produced gear wont fit our kids.</div><br />

The above shoes were what we chose to be the first pair of shoes that our daughter would use for her climbing adventures. They were a pair of leather shoes that we had already had. Izzy had worn them a couple of times, and had climbed with just the plain soles a few times in the basement. We wanted to make sure that we had a good fit prior to enhancing them.<br />

Above photo is the project shoes along with a larger size then we were thinking about doing at the same time. The box in the back ground is Five Ten's "Stealth Paint", at the time it had just come onto the market. We planned to add stealth rubber to the shoes, making a pair of climbing shoes that would fit our daughters little feet.<br />

In this photo I am applying the coat of rubber contact cement to the leather bottom of the shoe. The glass rod is the applicator that came with the kit. The cement was "Barge" brand and also included in the kit also.<br />

You have to use the glass rod applicator provided to apply the sticky mixture. This process was tedious and time consuming. You have to dab the mixture onto the shoe, then roll it down onto the leather sole, like using a baking pen. Rolling it back and forth with a firm pressure was key. Also note that the shoes are stuffed with paper to give them a solid profile, allowing easier application.<br />

Fall is about to hit and that means a whole new wave of students, and the return of sending temps.<br />
<br />
As most people know, our fearless leader (Tina) headed to those hills out west, which means maybe now someone will let the secret out about all those projects and they can finally be sent.... but maybe not. <br />
<br />
If you're new to the area and you don't know where to start, I recommend a nice walk down the rockhouse trail, chances are you'll see some of the Athens veterans out brushing the sand and moss off the holds getting their re-sends of the classics (if they aren't still squating in old climber hangouts drinking thier PBR's and talking about how they're too tired and it's too hot to climb), or at least you'll get a feel for what this little bubble town has to offer. <br />

Me, Jake, and a handful of OU kids took our weekly bouldering trip today and found ourselves at the breakdown cave. After tearing a nice flapper earlier I settled in to watch the others pull down on this classic, Jake was showing the beta when BOOM the crimp blew. Look what he did, the little jerk-<br />

Getting outside sounds miserable around this time and the weather's not exactly cooperative in attempting to stay strong, but I refuse to let an ever so tempting sedentary life be the answer. I've been spending way too many hours here on the computer watching climbing videos and reading nonsense blogs, but this near pointless dedication has actually produced something of value-I hope-for myself and anybody still refusing to wait for March to bring proper climbing temps back. I came across the two articles below and felt that each was helpful when I began to consider getting out in these sub-freezing, constantly snowing conditions.<div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>The first has some good tips on how to stay warm. Even though it is not directed at bouldering, much of the advice most definitely still applies. The second link is one with tips to avoid injuries while we all train for our next 5.ridiculous or Vheinous super proj we plan to send in the spring. Hopefully the articles can be of some help and we can get some traffic out on the rock again despite the numbing cold and evil wetness.

<u><b>Northeast Ohio Climbers Coalition:</b></u><br />
If you are form the Northeastern Part of Ohio, call yourself a climber and don't know about this group, then it about time you did some research. Their mission is ensures public access to rock climbing areas by working with the climbing community, authorities, landowners and property managers while encouraging environmental conservation and responsible climbing.<br />
<br />
If you are not a member already I suggest that you visit their <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/NEOCC/107829900282">face book page. </a><br />
<br />
Why did I bring up a group located over a three hour drive away? Because they are taking on important issues that Ohio climbers face, access to public land. More so recently the identity of the Metro Park. We are fortunate that we are located in an area that is full of many open spaces for public use, many that allow unrestricted climbing an access. However not to far of the road is a local Metro Park full of rock that your not allowed to touch. So if you're from Summit County of the surrounding area please take some time to help your fellow locals with the cause. <br />

This line was cleaned an established up on Witches Hill at the back section of rock. This line climbs out the leftmost side of the rock house that usually has a fire ring at it base, left from the most recent round of partying students. It starts just low in the cave at about 4/5 ft high on a large pocket/jug, from there if moves out, slightly to the left then straight up. Climbing above the small boulders on the ground to a seemingly blank top out. I would guess at the grade of about a V3/4, I didn't top it out the day I was there, still a little to dirty for my liking. However, the line climbs very nicely over the suspect rock. I would suggest that you bring a broom with you if you plan to climb this line, as it will likely be dirty, since there's a large hillside of dirt that sits above.</li>

<br />
The Commitment Area is one of the oldest and most classic of all the Athens areas. Mainly it is for the problem called "Brid's Nest"(pictured to the left), which is extremely unique and could be a classic any where you put it. This problem and it alone is worth visiting this area. However the concentration of quality lines and its location in relation to other areas make this a must visit. All of the problems in this area have great landings, room for others to spectate, wide array of styles and good range of difficulties.<br />
<br />
One of the downside to this area is that it is usually wet from late winter through mid ssummer, due the hillside that drains over it. <br />
<br />
It is a short walk from the following areas; Ravine Boulders, Trailside Boulders, Font and Breakdown Cave.<br />
<br />
<br />
<u>Parking:</u><br />
Same parking area as the "Trailer Park". Park at the white barn(Dance Studio) parking area off of East State street, located behind the Ohio University credit union. This is the start of the "Cucumbertree Connector" trail. If it is full park in the Wal-mart parking lot an walk over.<br />
<br />
<u>Approach:</u><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBBoguHcHX_7TcfGSpdn1GZjxOvVrhd5N2xRgSjodvvJgrWmeUuoGkBPo9VSo5LRxhEiOXTMmlfqj4ZGhqBiHuCQKe8dMYpiZd5qFdIFaz8y4Jl9V03vNE2EBhKzf4riumxbhoiacX2cE/s1600/IMG_0582.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5528369870760117058" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBBoguHcHX_7TcfGSpdn1GZjxOvVrhd5N2xRgSjodvvJgrWmeUuoGkBPo9VSo5LRxhEiOXTMmlfqj4ZGhqBiHuCQKe8dMYpiZd5qFdIFaz8y4Jl9V03vNE2EBhKzf4riumxbhoiacX2cE/s320/IMG_0582.jpg" style="float: right; height: 320px; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; width: 214px;" /></a><br />
From the White Dance barn head up the Cumcumbertree Connector trail. Take this for about .2 of a mile until you reach an intersection with the Athens Trail. This will intersect right near a wooden bridge. Take a right on the Athens Trail and continue for about another .2 of a mile. You will start to see some rock start to appear on your right. The cliff band will slowly grow in size and quantity as you go. You will come to a land bridge(bridge with no sides) next to a large roof. Continue past for about 300ft, when you will come to a another bridge, at the bridge turn left off of the trail and head toward the rock following a scant trail. The Commitment area is visiable from the bridge. Head up the trail toward the roofed section.<br />

"Party Cave" climbs out the right hand side of the large rock house located at the very back of Witches. This section of rock has normally been avoided due to its height, landing and general sandyness. But a couple of enthusiastic climbers have cleaned a pocketed section of the face and possible add another line to the hill.<br />

Each week Shay will be visiting climbing areas around Athens, weather permitting. To start thing off were going to take a second to introduce the one and only "Shay".<br /><br />Shay as born January 5, 1989 in a small town in central Ohio. Why is this important, it's not, but now you know how old he is and when to buy him a card for his birthday.<br /><br />Shay is about 5 foot nine and weighs about 12olbs soaking wet with hiking boots on. Is this important. Yes, this allows the little bugger to hang on to some of the smallest holds, the ones that leave the rest of us shaking our heads and rubbing our sore tips.<br /><br />Shay does have one thing going against him though. That is his shoulder, if you have seen it, you know what I'm talking about. It's the deformed one, the one that makes you want to puke a little in your mouth, every time you see him with his shirt off. Oh... and for some reason he is always taking his shirt off when he climbs.<br /><br />Shay is however always a bag full of hoots and hollars to be around and climb with. When he's skyed he is full of positive energy that transforms the climbing posse he is rolling with.<br /><br />So let the Tuesdays begin........Timhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01329813180242102549noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2243301409805076467.post-62555491141209016942010-10-12T13:15:00.000-07:002010-10-12T13:23:15.625-07:00New Line at the Commitment AreaWe managed to put up a new line at the Commitment Area today. The waterfall project had been completed lending way to "Sincere Apologies". This climbs the face to the left of the line "Elephant Ear", it climbs through some nice edges and slopers after the akward start. The face is climbed without stemming to the ugly and chossy wall to the left of the dihedral. Were guessing it weighs in at about a v3 and tops out at about 15feet. This is a nice addition to the area.<br /><br />All of the holds and the top out are currently clean so go give it a try!Timhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01329813180242102549noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2243301409805076467.post-66373684271150673932010-09-19T16:55:00.000-07:002010-09-19T16:56:18.337-07:00Athens Bouldering Update - 9-19-2010<h3 class="UIIntentionalStory_Message" ft="{"type":"msg"}"><span class="UIIntentionalStory_Names" ft="{"type":"name"}"> </span><span class="UIStory_Message">Athens Bouldering Update since the storms blew in.
