Deer Creek Canyon

Today I headed out to Deer Creek Canyon with Matt and Danny. Matt the other day found a new project he wanted to free solo. He described it as a highball boulder problem, but it actually could be bolted and is taller than some of the routes there. We loaded up the car with 8 crash pads and were off. Matt threw a top rope down on the route. We quickly realized this line was harder than it looks. After some cleaning and figuring out beta, Matt sent on TR. I cam close but the top moves spit me off. Matt decided to throw a few free solo burns on it to the lip. Watching him jump off from there was like waiting for a train wreck to happen. If he decides to go through with the free solo, a lot more pads will be needed. I will post some pictures from the day soon.
