Leisure Climb
Jun 18, 2026 · Lead / Redpoint. LRS leisure summer, shady starting at 3 pm but still a bit uncomfortable in the heat. Did three pitches all stretching a 60 to its limit. The Black claims another pair of shorts.

The Dragon's Tooth
Jun 17, 2026 · Lead / Onsight. We did left variation which was really good and made it easy to do in 3 pitches without rope drag. Fun 50th birthday route that exceeded my expectations!

Rosy Arete/Tourist Route
Jun 16, 2026 · Lead / Onsight. w/Joe. Great adventure climb that gets better the higher you go—some funk on the lower pitches, but generally clean and exposed above the midway terrace. I led the 10+ variation which was awesome but so strange at that point, like you went through a wormhole to a good single pitch cragging area or something. We did 8 mostly long pitches and about 8.5 hours car to car and we were in the shade basically the whole way, topping out around 2 pm.
