Girl Scout

originally graded V5. Niagara Glen, Niagara, ON, Canada

This is a **RE-RELEASE** and features an additional 8 boulder problems on sandstone. **DISCLAIMER** the paths to these boulders are still closed to my understanding and are potentially hazardous. Be smart and respectful. On December 9th 2020 I decided to do as many V5 boulder problems at the Niagara Glen as I could (according to what is a V5 in the most current guidebook. A few problems turned out easier then v5 and some turned out to maybe a bit harder than v5, as indicated by the + and -). The number turned out to be 38 total from 7:30am to 6:30pm. I was wrecked after this. I documented the time I sent each boulder as indicated in the bottom left corner before each boulder. V5 day lets goooooo! Thanks Cam, Sam and Rich for joining, helping with filming/spotting and dragging pads everywhere.

The first in a series of videos covering 30+ Niagara Glen V4 boulders. This first video had nine V4s and three nice V3s from two short trips (one summer one spring). Another step in my quest to work on #AllTheV4s . I wish I could have done more but it was my first trip after four months off for shoulder recovery.

Top outs are now allowed on most boulders. 2. (-) indicates we felt the grade was a bit soft and (+) indicates we felt it was a bit stiff. It seems very unlikely to us that Girl Scout will stay at V5 - it feels like a soft V4. 3. Excellent betas for harder problems are at @boulderingbreakdown https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2neaoj-kSprnmmAoWyJLQg #niagaraglen #niagaraglenbouldering #bouldering #climbing #v4boulders #v4niagara #v4glen #allthev4s

I was wrecked after this. I climbed every boulder featured in this film (plus 8 others that were not featured). I documented the time I sent each boulder as indicated in the bottom left corner before each boulder. V5 day lets goooooo!
