I am pretty sure that the next trip I took after Bishop was going out with Mike, Keenan, Sal, and Teddy, Ethan, and Boz to the Firestone Boulders. This boulder is home to two amazing problems: Monster V10 (right exit), and Big Monster V11 (direct). To get there, you usually hike through a small forest on a dirt road into a clearing and back into another small forest, but since there was snow everywhere and Mike had not been there in a long time we took a different dirt road which wound around a hill. Since Mike had explored all over this area a few years ago, he did not realize that we were on the wrong road until too late. Rather than walking about a quarter mile, we walked probably around two miles but we got there all the same. I nearly sent Monster but fell off the final hard move feeling the jug at least three times. Ethan sent Monster pretty quickly and Mike had sent both on past trips.
After we were all done with the firestones, we went to Rainbow and tried Ishmael and Fishmeal. Ethan sent Fishmeal pretty quick and Boz sent Ishmael with quite a bit of Drama.
