M_Sprague The Lost Boulder, Arcadia, RI:
What it is the name of the V11 left hand version of Ground Zero and who did the FA? I was posting up beta pictures of the boulder in mountainproject yesterday and would like to see this listed. I presume it starts on the same low rail, works up to the sharp edge then shoots up and left to an edge and tops out. If the FAist would like to post it up, that would be great, also some action shots from the boulder would be cool.

Condition note - The blackflies are just coming out there, but the stone still felt good yesterday afternoon. If you want to get out there before the bugs get horrendous, I would suggest going right away and bringing spray. The trail from the pond to the fire road has overgrown, so you will have to bushwhack some, but the water is very low so no problem with the stream. I'll flag it if I go again.

Jonahag Mark, it's a weird sorta squat/stand start that Ty Landman did. My buddy, who did ground zero and everything else with ease couldn't make a single move in prime conditions... might be real hard.

P.S. You are a hero for finding/posting all the RI stuff.

M_Sprague Hmm, I guess you or somebody else will have to post it up then. I can't figure out exactly where you are talking about. Maybe further left than I was thinking? If you know what the beta is and want to post, we could always call it the Landman route until we learn the real name. There is definitely a left hand finish to Ground Zero. I may be nuts, but I think a super hard line may go up the rounded arete between Finders Keepers and the right hand finish of Drive By.
