More Info
Let's work together to take the best care of our climbing areas we possibly can. Let's not just do it for ourselves but also for the many generations of climbers yet to come. Let's do our best to preserve the natural beauty of our planet so all humans and creatures of this earth can enjoy what you and I have been so privileged to enjoy. We must also not forget the peoples and cultures that have lived and died on the lands we now climb on. Let us honor our native ancestors and their stories.

Third Pillar, Regular Route
Sep 28, 2023 · Lead / Onsight. W J Boog! Great day. Long approach and got off trail for a while and really windy at the top but once we go to the base it was like a nice Jamaican summer day at the beach. Fun adventure climbing. Went off route intentionally to pass part on p2 and then got into some really heady and techy climbing so bailed off some tat, got rope stuck, shenanigans ensued. Caught back up to part on p4. First 4 pitches were so-so, kind of scrambly and wandering. Last pitch was so cool. Tough moves between epic jugs. 11 hours car to car. Would have gone so much faster if we could have passed party ahead of us.

Sep 8, 2023 · Lead / Onsight. W cam, Hanna, Caylin. Direct start with left cut finish then climbed around to clip top anchors. Now I see why direct start is rarely climbed. Scary! But the gear is there. But a lil runout to the next piece of gear. Was shaking like a leaf! Very cool lead. Lil scary the whole way actually but Soo good.
