Jul 23, 2013 Cathedral Ledge > Barber Wall Big Deal Rock Climb 5.12a PG13 ● I got on it a few days ago, and it has gotten a bit dirty again. I'll give it some loving next time I'm ove… View Comment
Mar 31, 2012 Cathedral Ledge > Mordor Wall Highway 61 5.13a ● Just changed the grade to 13a, that seems to be the consensus. Sorry, didn't realize that the grade given o… View Comment
