I’m not sure if Mikkel, a world class whitewater kayaker, got the first scent or just did all the work cleaning it, but here is a video of Stewart climbing it. This might be V2.

Psoriasis, V3/4 – Robson Boulders

You’ll find this problem in the Lionshead Pub area, near the top of the talus. A cool reach out left, a few crimps and then hold the body tension to top out. Fun.

This problem got it’s name after an epic struggle with a 500 pound boulder that was cramming the landing area. In this video, Jesse Redden makes the first ascent. Shot in late March 2003.

This up past the east Talus near the Lions head pub. This is Caleb Patterson getting the first ascent. There’s another way to do it, going left, that will work better for short people.

Another new Jesse on a day of new problems. This one might also be overgraded – it could be as low as V1. Can somebody go out and try it and then let me know in the comments what it should be graded?

Another One, V2/3 – Robson Boulders

I think over-graded this one. It would be great to have someone try it and let me know. I’m pretty sure Stewart got the first ascent. Make sure you do the sit start, otherwise it’s V0.

This was the first problem done in the Main Room of the Robson Boulders. David Bristow or Jesse Redden got the first Ascent. The problem is trickier than it looks — funny side-pulls and then a slippery left foot with a high move to the right crimp will get you through.
