Meat Bump


Somehow we returned from Hueco with only one problem on video. And since we're lazy, it comes to you unedited with no music.

Eric sending Speed Bump (V7) AKA Meat Bump




Back on the east side, Wills, Jeff H., and I had a quick night session on Brian's Project (V8 or 9) last week. It's a fun, squeezy problem on the west side of the Buttermilk Stem boulder. Wills put the problem up a couple seasons ago and quickly repeated it several times after we refined our beta.

Jeff would have sent it if I hadn't been firing my flash off while he was trying to climb. (And the four giant holes in his fingers didn't help either.)

Is it me or is Eric's one forearm much bigger than the other?

its called aid climbing... meat bump 7b A5... i don't know though, the placement was easy but it wouldn't hold a fall, which would most likely be devastating if not lethal... and your fingers might as well be considered aid climbing anyway, cheater...
