Location: CA : San Diego County : Mission Gorge : Main Wall : Quantum Leap (5.11b)
By: T.J. Esposito When: Mar 23, 2013 | view comment >> | Comments: This route is rad! Prob between 11b and c depending on your height, wingspan, and strengths. Several variations of holds and sequences to make the first crux, two completely different styles of doing the second crux that follows (I could only do one, my partner the other). Definitely a fun route to spend some time on.

Location: CA : High Desert : New Jack City : Box Canyon East : Fantasy Island : The Minute Men Arete (5.11d)
By: T.J. Esposito When: Mar 17, 2013 | view comment >> | Comments: I pulled off a couple of big chunks and lots of scree from the right side of the middle of the climb and 'X'ed a bunch of big rock chunks that are still there. They look/feel pretty rotten and will eventually pull off if yarded or stood on. Wouldn't be a huge deal except the belayers for this and Fantasia don't really have anywhere to go if a hundred pounds of rock come crashing down. BETA WARNING: you don't need to touch the 'X'ed sections to do this climb in the most efficient fashion.

Location: CA : San Diego County : Mission Gorge : Middle Earth : Black Rider (5.11b)
By: T.J. Esposito When: Mar 11, 2013 | view comment >> | Comments: If you find the right mantle sequence for your height, the mantle ends up feeling physically easier than the moves leading up to it.

Location: CA : San Diego County : Corte Madera
By: T.J. Esposito When: Feb 18, 2013 | view comment >> | Comments: For anyone planning on War Paint (5P 12a), a key hold broke off the start of the 3rd pitch (12a crux). It's likely now hard twelve at least and impossible to french free it (the first bolt is about 12 feet up or so.) Those inclined can skip the start by going up the 5.easy gully to the right and clipping the first bolt and swinging back in to do the super fun original crux.

Location: CA : San Diego County : Eagle Peak : Left Wall : Southwest Face (5.11b)
By: T.J. Esposito When: Jan 7, 2013 | view comment >> | Comments: Really fun route with a bunch of nice cracks from fingers to fists! P4 and 5 can be linked with a 60m with maybe 10-15 feet to spare for a slightly more challenging ending. We used about 13 draws; this climb is nicely bolted.

Location: CA : Yosemite National Park : Yosemite Valley : New Diversions : New Diversions (5.10a)
By: T.J. Esposito When: Nov 28, 2012 | view comment >> | Comments: There's a 2b rap anchor above the wide section up top, instead of the slings/#4 anchor described elsewhere.

Location: NV : Red Rock : Juniper Canyon : Ginger Buttress : Unimpeachable Groping (5.10+)
By: T.J. Esposito When: Oct 28, 2012 | view comment >> | Comments: If you are tall and have a long reach, this fun climb feels significantly easier (10b I'd say, at 6'1" with a +5 ape index). There are a ton of spinners. The final ramp to the summit felt a bit harder than 5.8 in my opinion. Also, make sure to not knock any rocks when heading down the gully if you rap the water streak, as they bounce down and then go sailing over the edge. Wouldn't be pleasant for people on Power Failure or rapping.

Location: CA : Tahquitz & Suicide Rocks : Tahquitz Rock : South Face : South Face - Left Side : Chingadera (5.11a)
By: T.J. Esposito When: Sep 24, 2012 | view comment >> | Comments: Tried for an OS without any of the above beta and did the same thing as Nelson... went up and right and was level with the anchors and pretty much had to intentionally fall (a long one but relatively clean). Still ended up making the anchors from the right though; the last 6 inches of reaching for them was possibly the most tenuous move I've ever made, and the tip of my left middle finger is still numb from survival crimping on those tiny edges past the last bolt. Looked at going up ... more >>

Location: CA : San Diego County : Mission Gorge : Main Wall : Trapeze (5.11 PG13)
By: T.J. Esposito When: Aug 28, 2012 | view comment >> | Comments: We TR'ed this (def want to bring some static line to extend the anchor 15' or so over the lip.
Outrageous climb (although I think I'd be scared as anything trying to lead it; some of the positions in the dihedral were a bit desperate; you'd need small stuff for that and protecting the roof if you want to keep the good hands open). Fun moves to get up into the dihedral past the roof. Reminds me of wayyy harder version of Rectum Roof.

Location: CA : San Diego County : Mission Gorge : Main Wall : Buckwheat (5.11c)
By: T.J. Esposito When: Aug 12, 2012 | view comment >> | Comments: Hold pulled off today, the first of the three little jugs on the roof, but it was kind of facing out and I don't think anyone would find it to be a critical piece. I wouldn't go jumping up and down the the remaining ones though, they are needed and will probably also peel off some year.

Location: CA : San Diego County : Mission Gorge : Main Wall : Rectum Roof (5.10b/c)
By: T.J. Esposito When: Aug 6, 2012 | view comment >> | Comments: gear: three draws, then C4's: #1+QD at traverse, .4, .5, 1, 2. Maybe there was a .75 in there too?

Location: International : North America : Mexico : Northern Mexico : El Potrero Chico : ... : Time Wave Zero (5.12a)
By: T.J. Esposito When: Jul 31, 2012 | view comment >> | Comments: An awesome climb!! Some of the belays suck a bit, definitely recommend linking pitches; we climbed with a 70m and simul-rapped. Great day of a ton of climbing followed by a ton of rapping, probably best to do right before a rest day! Try to get the 10d ones on lead, they were super fun (I was seconding those). The crux pitch is burly, has two distinct crux sections but apparently I missed a hold on the first of them. You will have earned your caguama of Carta Blanca and 1L margarita... more >>

Location: CA : Tahquitz & Suicide Rocks : Tahquitz Rock : Northwest Recess : The Consolation (5.9)
By: T.J. Esposito When: Jul 2, 2012 | view comment >> | Comments: We finished this by doing these two pitches, highly recommended:
1: from the dead tree belay on Long Climb (end of The Consolation) going across the PG13 slab left and up as per Long, then continuing to trend up and left not quite hitting Whodunit... just follow all the cool cracks. Full 60m pitch (prob had 5 feet of rope left). You'll belay in an uncomfortable little chimney/cave with the anchor consisting of nuts or the smallest C3s. The last 15 feet are a cool steep flared crack with just... more >>
