Ernest Stemmingway
Dec 11, 2022 · Lead / Flash. Great route if you are trying to get your first 11a. Easy climbing to the no hand rest before first crux. Techy climbing leads to Jugs. Stay composed and rest up again before last bolt and stem your way up to the hero jugs below the anchor.

Arresting Arete
Jan 16, 2022 · Lead / Redpoint. 1 hang while hanging draws. First red point go sent. Agree with the lowering anchors. Crux is very punchy and weird.

Redneck Hero
Jan 16, 2022 · Lead / Redpoint. Best 12a in front range IMO. Some knee bar beta will help to get rid of the pump if you need it!
