The Impressionist V4 Niagara Glen
V4 Bouldering - Niagara 3 - Short and Sweet
The third in a series of videos about 30+ V4 boulders at the Niagara Glen. This most recent set includes six new ones from a two-day stop-over on my 2022 trip out west. This time I focused on "short and sweet" boulders (no highballs, no traverses, no bad landings) to protect my ankles. The 12 cm tear is holding stable on my right ankle, as are the screws in my left ankle. Our Niagara Glen V4 series featuring 30+ problems: Pt 1 - Some Classics - https://youtu.be/_ASSDaFR_XU Pt 2 - Beyond the Classics - https://youtu.be/gGDlJ9LTEl4 Pt 3 - Short and Sweet - https://youtu.be/T4Jg8wVJ6mM Pt 4 - Nine More V4s - https://youtu.be/bcNXeoxPc5g Intro (0:00) The 6ix V4- (0:11) - kneebar beta The Plot V4 (1:11) - very short (but nice) The Impressionist V4- (1:55) - easy (and nice) Immaculate V4 (2:22) - classic (but can be frustrating) Diablo V4 (2:55) - a bunch of V4s on this boulder Acronym V4 (3:44) Notes: 1. Top outs are now allowed on most boulders. 2. (-) indicates we felt the grade was a soft and (+) indicates we felt it was stiff. 3.

The Un-Impressionist (V2) - Niagara Glen
This is the assisted version of the Impressionist climbed by Ian W. It is using the boulder beside the rock rather than the very low toe hook on the wall.
