Mt Woodson Boulder Grouping # 15 Oil on Panel 8″ x 10″ 2/24/09
A view from the summit – east side looking south. A serene spot with many fantastic boulder groups, a good distance from the many hikers, joggers and bouldering climbers. While usually everybody I meet up there are very respectful and nice people – it still never fails to break my concentration. I hate the feeling there is someone watching me from behind, it inhibits me in I feel like I’m performing.
However, one problem with this area is that to get to it I have to bushwhack along a deer path where it’s hard to see my feet sometimes. This will be a problem in a month or so when the warm weather wakes up the rattlesnakes. These boulders seem to make a perfect rattlesnake city and I’ll be the first to admit to a real paranoia about rattlesnakes. So as it gets hotter I will probably start sticking to the road in the hope to avoid stepping on one.
