The past year I've been exploring the mountains around my house here in Appalachia. Today we went up to a boulder we call Nervous Curve. I spent months figuring out the moves for what became Hard Headed Woman (v5). It became the my favorite send so with friends in town we went back to check it out as well as some others. Conditions were nasty and it had been a while since I'd looked at it so, eyes were fresh. We soon found a sit start which went quickly. The sit ads three moves making it a 13 move problem. Its a four star that is 100x more fun when its 50 degrees out but never the less, it was a fun send.
The new sit has you trapped behind that green rock.
The crux is trying to get out and around the corner

I'd seen this boulder in the fall but didn't have any desire to mess with it since it needed cleaning and there was so much to do at Grandmother. So we decided to get our hands dirty, though I forgot all the necessary brushes. Needless to say it was a super fun problem that required power and good movement. It didn't go because of the inch thick mud on top but it'll happen soon.
