Location: UT : Wasatch Range : American Fork Canyon : The Membrane : Bad Faith (5.9)

Comments: Only 5.9 I've been on that makes use of a mono. Great route for a 5.10 leader. Technical climbing which makes the lead a tad bit heady.

Comments: Steel Reserve is a spectacular line. Do yourself a favor dust off the trad rack and jump on this gem next time you're in the canyon, you will not be disappointed.

Location: ID : City of Rocks : Parking Lot Rock : Thin Slice (5.10a)

Comments: A fantastic line that shouldn’t be missed. I felt it was on par with other 10a’s in the area in terms of difficulty. Aesthetically speaking the route is inspiring.

Location: ID : City of Rocks : The Breadloaves : Super Hits Wall : Bloody Fingers (5.10a)

Comments: In my opinion Bloody Fingers is highly overrated. I lead it after reading all the great reviews and was disappointed. Perhaps if I had no expectations it would have been different, however, there wasn’t a single move or feature on the route that caught my attention. A much more aesthetic and enjoyable route is Thin Slice (10a).

Comments: This route is graded 10d in the guide book, however, both my partner and I climbed this route and felt it was more like 10a/b.

Location: UT : Maple Canyon : Left Fork : The Pipeline : The Angry Inch (5.11c)

Comments: I was there with a friend who knew the guy who bolted the route. As mentioned previously the name of this route is "The Angry Inch" and I believe it originally had a rating of 11c. Great climb with a terrific sequence of long reachy moves.

Location: UT : Wasatch Range : Big Cottonwood Canyon : The Millstone : Angle of Repose (5.10a)

Comments: This is a superb route with a technical feel. It would easily be a three or four star route at any one of the more accessible crags in the canyon. Enjoy the thin edges and the extremely fun moves on quality quartzite.

Location: UT : Wasatch Range : Big Cottonwood Canyon : The Millstone : Stone Ground (5.11b)

Comments: First two bolts are a little run out but on easy terrain. The business end of the route is between bolt 3 and 5. Excellent crimpers and side pulls with a few jugs along the way. Don’t forget to utilize a knee bar half way up to gain a much needed rest before pushing through the upper crux. This is such a fun route with exquisite moves and body positions all the way up.
