I headed out to Taylors Saturday with Brea. It was pretty warm so my only intention was to get some time in climbing on easier stuff on the MN side and have some fun. We started in the B2 Pit and before I knew it I was eyeing up B2 Bomber. This is a classic taylors falls V4 that I had tried once a few years ago but never did - having taken several back landing falls from the last move that made me too scared to try it until now. After getting to and/or attempting the last move about half a dozen times - getting more and more confident as I went - I finally stuck the top move and did it. I was really glad to finally get over my fear on this thing and do this essential problem.

B2 Bomber is one of the problems mentioned in John Sherman's historical bouldering book Stone Crusade -- first done by Jim Holloway in 1978 and at the time was considered "one of the last great problems in the B2 Pit" and is "now rated B1."

I love this video! Next time we're at Taylors, I'll have to show you the good hold hidden out right at the top! ;)

looks like vimeo was having some problems - didn't work for me either for a minute but seems to be working now.
I love you drop so far you disappear out of the screen. THUBUMPH!
Way to stick though.
