Battle of the Blobs

The Battle of the Blobs project finally met its end today. Last November ,the day before Woody Mt. rd closed for the winter,I got shut down repeatedly on the last ten feet of the traverse and had to wait all winter to go back. Now with the road open again it was time to return for revenge, but when we got to the roof, sections of the blobs were soaking wet. After a few days they dried and I finally got around to cleaning the dirty sections yesterday then managed to punt off the ending again several times, but came back in the morning and sent first try. There are several cruxes but the most definitive comes in the middle with a long reach to a shallow dish and a cross under to a small pocket, fortunately there is a huge heel toe cam down in the roof or else that section would be heinous.

Waiting for the Blobs to dry turned out to be a good opportunity to check out the other projects there. There is an awesome section of small crimp rails and pinches that sit starts in the back right corner of the roof. I managed to do all of the moves except one really difficult reach to a powerful gaston. Linking through would add about forty feet of bouldery roof climbing into a dyno and finish out choss roof.
