● Crimson Chrysalis
Dec 29, 2026 · 7 pitches. Lead. With Yi Yi led 1st pitch Made it to p7 but the wind gusts were too strong and inconsistent to safely continue. 30-40 mph with 70 mph gusts. The raps were much more stressful than any actual climbing on the route

● Super Natural
Oct 3, 2026 · Lead / Onsight. With Yi following Comfort rack of one black totem, two #2, two #3, four #4, and one #5 #2 in the super slide crack before traversing (went higher than expected where there was an obvious foot) and the other #2 (#3 would prob work too) in the crack up top before traversing to the Super Slide anchors Black totem protects the easy traverse Thin hands for 15' Hands for 10' Fists for 10' Butterfly stacks (with a few fists here and there) for the rest Crux at the top before the obvious horizontal rail where it widens a bit and the left side of the crack raises up and becomes super sharp. Grade of mostly 5.7 with a bit of 5.8 at the crux feels right but it's an OW 5.7 def not a normal crack climbing 5.7. New leaders should look at the grade with that in mind. Kind spooky to be on this crack considering how much it has grown over the last 3 years. Was glad I climbed this though but prob will not be coming back to this or super slide for quite some time.

● Regular Route
Aug 8, 2026 · With Yi. Yi still find it hard. Rained on us after traversing crescent ledge so final pitches were led whilst wet. Doable but slow work. Just keep going right ward until the large flakes are obvious. Rock dried quickly once the rain passed. Large swarm of flying ant at the summit. They were everywhere and had to belay from 40' back from the edge while standing still for them not to swarm.

Jul 26, 2026 · Lead. With Yi and Julia. Led with nuts and tricams and a #4 to protect the traverse to anchors. Better to traverse left from below the anchors than to come in high just above the anchors.
