American Crack
Oct 16, 2023 · Lead / Flash. Super fun crack and stemming. all the foot holds are great except the first five feet are spicy with delicate feet. Watch out, I had to bail because there were a shit ton of hornets at the top of the chains, but they were docile. Yikes ...

American Wall
Oct 16, 2023 · TR. I set this up as a top rope after I freaked out on American crack with a hornets nest in the hole. Saucy and dainty climb, but after you walk through panama and hit mexico it's all smooth up until Texas, then you hit the chains

Calypso I (direct variation)
Oct 16, 2023 · TR. Suuuuper thin/pumpy variation so just watch out. the rest of the climb is also fighting the pump clock, but big holds, real fun

Environmental Impact
Oct 16, 2023 · TR. Super fun but those hand jams are harsh, slow burner of a climb but challenging nonetheless. Bring four #1's (probably place only three)
