Grandmother's Challenge
Dec 17, 2023 · Lead. Led in one pitch with a 70m. A 3 and a 4 in the crux protect it well. Awesome climb, well protected and did not feel desperate.

Northeast Ridge
Sep 17, 2023 · Linked after the Petite in a long day car to car (5 am to 9 pm). Did it in about 3 simul pitches, led first 2. Only on route about half the time, much harder and mossy off route. Surprisingly good route and fun climbing. Took about 3 hrs. Could have rapped with a single 60m and casual downclimbing. Descent after gash is long, sucks.
