Jan 3, 2025 · 4 pitches. Lead / Fell/Hung. Truly humbling. First four pitches (link 1-2). 23/40F (down in Brevard) and snowing most of the day. Fell on every pitch. Couldn’t feel fingers on the rock. P1 at crux coming out the roof to crimps. P3 open book: all over but eventually linked most of it other than b2-3. P4 tube, scrubbed, clawed and cussed my way up, but fell at the mantle. P5, nothing left and fell before first perma. Coming back in the spring.

Dec 22, 2024 · Lead / Redpoint. Many attempts in warmer weather, spaced out over two years getting to the nut most times. Often too sick in the winter to muster the stamina. Sick last two weeks again but the climbing was so much easier at 38F and sunny today. Second go after falling at the clipping hold first go. Very pumped but moves go so much easier in the cold.

Nov 8, 2024 · 2 pitches. Lead. Did it in 2 pitches but would recommend a single. Suck it up and go and there’s nothing difficult, just sharp and steep. I sure about the top out after the business. There would be a line for this route every weekend if it were bolted—super fun, however short.

Sep 22, 2024 · Lead / Onsight. Looks more obscure than it actually climbs. And not as sharp as MP comments would suggest. Requires some big, strong moves but V3 is a bit of a stretch; probably V2. Pro not really necessary up top, although it is runout. Anchors out left in an obscure dihedral. Could be more fun to just climb to OHo anchors.

Sep 8, 2024 · Lead / Redpoint. Hardest 12b around. Took me double digit attempts over almost two years (usually in summer heat). Cooler temps today helped but so did right heel hook beta at second bolt. This route goes with 1-2 pieces of gear, so really more of a sport route.

Sep 8, 2024 · Lead / Onsight. Definitely some obscure route finding for an R pitch. Pretty fun with lots of stemming and rests but only 1-2 moves through the technical crux and then a little pressure through the face to right roof transition (for onsight). Good route but not the best Moores has to offer.

Sep 2, 2024 · Lead / Onsight. I waited 15 years for this one. Back when I asked Pat about leading this he suggested dialing it in on TR and then soloing. Yeah, sure Pat. I chose a different approach: I wanted to get strong enough and confident enough to onsight. While I always had intentions to nut strap the two studs, the new bolt changed the nature of the route and gave me enough confidence to give it a go this trip. The dyno is epic for onsight!
Gear spoilers:
Brassies would have helped but I suspect that the lower flake would blow if one were to fall. The smallest Pnut protected my sanity in the first left-facing flake. a black tricam may have held in the crucial left hand slot, but it also may have slid out, cut the webbing or blown the flake; and it rendered the hold nearly useless after placing. Then its all hopes and prayers to the bolt. Extend this for rope drag.
I chose the dyno. After the mantel there are great small cam options out right (.2-.3). Jason's offset small cams helped tremendously to get behind a flake. Things get sparse as you get to the top and gear is marginal at best. Possible middle size tricam out very far right, but you are climbing left. By the time you can get the larger crack under the top boulder, you are done and its not worth carrying anything that large.

Sep 2, 2024 · Lead / Onsight. Jason B led P1; I took P2. Low traverse appears to be the only way out left, not quite to the arete. Small chalked crimps to larger crimps (no chalk) lead to the obvious thin slot under the roof. Second pitch would be world class if the 5.9 crack were 20' longer. As it exists, its just a contrived exit to the top that clearly rarely gets done.

Sep 2, 2024 · Lead / Onsight. Jason B led pitch 1. I led pitch 2. Original route appears to go right into the dihedral (5.9). Doug Reed variation (5.11a) moves slightly left and up into the steep but short-lived hand crack. Another pitch that would be world class if it were 20' longer. Best to do this as one long pitch.
Spoilers:
I'm short and theres no real reason to stay in the crack all that much. Plenty of big enough holds in the right crack to not stress in the main crack.
