● Surrealistic Pillar Direct
Aug 6, 2022 · Lead / Onsight. Awesome climb. Definitely add's more difficult climbing to the Surrealistic pillar. More tricky with a few slightly powerful moves. Some really fun options once you get to the small roof.

Aug 6, 2022 · 2 pitches. Lead / Onsight. Very easy and VERY fun. This is a great climb A+. If you skip the 2nd belay you will have a VERY hard time hearing your follower from the top.

● Whodunit
Jun 5, 2022 · 6 pitches. Lead / Onsight. First pitch I went way climbers right to the far right of the first roof with underlings. After the chimney there are some good wide cracks, more difficult for my wife who has a small frame 5'2. Amazing climbing, top notch in evey way. Set lots of 0.5 and 0.75. A #3 protects the exit of the chimney very well.

● Direct South Face
Oct 17, 2021 · Lead / Onsight. From the ground to the roof the climbing is easy and fun. I really didn't feel the roof was burly, just need to figure out your beta. I'm 5'11 my wife is 5'2, neither of us had difficulty finding a way to pull the roof. The 2nd and 3rd pitch are 5.6 easy. We completed it in two pitches.
