| Niagara Glen - Dogtooth Spar - V4 | 20250531 | |
| V4 Bouldering - Niagara 4 - Nine More V4s | The fourth in our series of videos about 30+ V4 boulders at the Niagara Glen. This most recent set includes nine new ones from Easter weekend 2023. Cedar was working (and sending) her V7 and V8 projects - but we managed to sneak these V4s in around the corners.
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
Balance V4+ (0:00) - a wicked slab problem
Dogtooth Spar V4 (0:35) - a personal favorite
Parallelogram V4 (1:28) - big/weak beta, then small/strong beta
Thoughts and Prayers V4 (2:24) - big moves
On Thirst Fought V4- (3:18) - easy for the grade
Poke* V4- (4:02) - karate kick beta (not in book, just downhill from Megaman)
*I later saw on Sendage that the arete is out - so this is not exactly Poke
Spectacles V4+ (4:36) - suboptimal beta conquered by sheer strength
The Magic Bullet V4 (5:56) - short and sharp
Cream Cheese V4- (7:17) - very height dependent (but fun!)
Outro (7:56)
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. Excellent betas for harder problems are at @boulderingbreakdown https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2neaoj-kSprnmmAoWyJLQg
