Video archaeology yields proof of aboriginal bouldering in previous century.

Note the use of the pinkie-lock. After he sticks the lock, he looks relieved - but a few moves later, his left foot slips and he nearly comes off from about 15 feet up. Wyoming Cow Girl on End Loop boulder is a classic frontside climb that has been "led" (the pro is sparse and tricky - might as well be soloing). It is about 30 feet tall and rated 5.12. Normally done on toprope, but in the pre-PURP days CowGirl was a coveted tick during the waves of soloing madness that would periodically sweep through the park. Over the years, several broken ankles and legs have resulted from underestimating the incredible pump that CowGirl can induce.
