The R rated start. We used a red AND blue ballnut which would prevent falling all the way down the gully but would not prevent a ground fall onto the ledge.

#1 (blue) ballnut to protect the runout start. I'm 90% sure this would hold but I wouldn't want to test it. You're still looking at groundfall if you blow the .9/10- moves right before the flake.

Adventure punks pitch 4

Looking down the last wide pitch. Wasn't all that hard I thought, but certainly really fun! That being said, 2x #6 would have been nice for this pitch as you can't bump only 1 really. 11/20/21

P5 can be done without any offwidth technique. But OW gear is necessary for protecting it.

Pitch 1 on Adventure Punks

This setup deeply satisfied my nerdy climbing systems brain. Double girth hitch, sliding X with limiting knots, locking carabiner. Next step, don't test it.

Matt in search of a V0 warmup on the Honeycomb Boulder....we hiked past this a good 5 or so minutes before finding easy slabs up.

The wall...in all its cloud-embraced glory. Adventure Punks to the right of the huge corner. Challenger on the left wall around the corner.

Topo with original pitch grades. I thought the first pitch was 5.9+ and the third 5.10b. Trip report on tenthousandtoofar.com. A variation to P4 stays in the corner at 5.9.

Pitch four. This route is bad ass.
