What was your first lead trad route?

Dan Cruise on Zebra Cliffs in Josh.  It was actually my 1st lead period, trad or sport.

I know its a bit north of ya'll , but...i'm just a bit proud right now.
so gotta share

Nice!!!!     The first lead I ever did, of a climb with a real name was “Harry Daily” on the apron! I was well puckered cause, Sean fell and pulled the gear! So I was offered the sharp end... Sunny Side Jamcrack went down a few days later. 

Trad rope soloed a 30 foot V0 boulder by myself in the woods on a static rope. I count that as my first even though i was never gonna fall off the thing. :p

Mine was Wallaby Crack on Trashcan Rock at Josh back during Spring Break 1997. 

The downclimb off the Bong freaks some people out.  I helped some lost folks last time I was scrambling there.

Mama Woolsey 10a R....
I thought it was the 5.7 next to it. Quite a rough introduction to Joshua tree trad

Sahara Terror 1984.

Ending Crack at Sespe Gorge.

My first travel lead was Dave’s deviation 5.9 to Gallwas Gallup 5.9+  Tahquitz rock. 1983.

Mission Gorge, the Stairs 5.4

5.5 hand jams up and 5.6 features on the way down.

First trad lead: Trashcan in Jtree

Spent more time on the anchor than the climb.

Crack of Dust 5.8 - Mission Gorge ..... I would highly recommend, good pro.

Y-Crack at Lake Dixon in North County San Diego.  Kicked out every piece on the way up...

The ramp, mission gorge. Slipped above a tiny gray TCU on my first try. I was really shocked when it caught me. 

Oak tree flake, Yosemite

Initiation crack, kern slabs.

The main face at Williamson Rock around 1980 was my first trad lead.  This was long before bolts became the standard there.  The main face back then was 3 pitches protected with nuts and hexes.  I do remember a bolt on the final headwall pitch but you could still get in a piece from time to time or even a slung stone.   I climbed many routes at Willy that way until the sport climbing rage took over.  I am sure Chris Owen and others can remember what it was like back then.
