Granny Goose
Mar 15, 2023 · Notes only- Walk off: walk away from the top out along a thing ledge. In about 15' near a tiny bush, you'll find a gulley. Go down the Gulley (maybe 15') and get on a slabby ledge on skier's right. Make sure your friction game is on since there are minimum handholds. Once you get onto the slappy ledge, it's an easy scramble back toward the start.

SW Corner
Oct 12, 2022 · Follow. Followed with John. Step up on crotch level edge at crux over roof rather than straight over. Always fun and heady. Note can place #1 over roof and small cam between 4th bolt and anchor to protect the traverse.

The Swift
Oct 11, 2022 · Lead. Swung leads with John P1 John did 5.9 direct around beak I swung rope over and went around. Chimney was annoying got out and over. P2 route done correctly walked the crack to dihedral. Belayed about 10’ up the dihedral at a nice spot which left a full rope length for P3, maybe go a little higher next time to avoid short roping. P3 face crux easier than I remember good holds. Save 2 #2s for the crack that follows.
