Despite slightly high temps I went up to Tahoe to try a boulder I've been thinking about for a while. Purple Sticky Punch (V5) is insanely aesthetic and was a pretty fucking brutal approach involving significant off trail wandering. Unfortunately I could not pull the crux, which involves using an awful left hand sloper and a super high left foot to slap your right hand up over a bulge.
Despite not sending the hike was absolutely gorgeous and the meadows were probably the most lush I've ever seen in Tahoe, Yarrow growing over 5 foot tall and the Lupins were going absolutely gangbusters.
Will be back in 2 weeks to try again, here's me in the meadows, will post a pic of the boulder next.
