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.

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.

V4 Bouldering - Niagara 1 - Some Classics and More
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.
