Try Again is, arguably, the best boulder problem at Lincoln Woods.
Start on two small, but positive crimpers, and dynamically move up and left
to a good flat edge. Match, struggling to keep your feet on, then grab the
finishing bucket and mantle. "Tall" Ed Sewall first sent this problem, which
thwarted locals for over 10 years, in the early 80s. John "Whitey" McLean
found the "short man's" beta by using a small intermediate crimp and a wicked
high step. There are several other classic problems on this face, including
both sit starts to Try Again, and several problems that finish up
and right. Please be patient, this animation may take a moment to load. Photo
