● Catfish Strangler
Mar 15, 2026 · Lead / Redpoint. Great route. Onsite is solid 11a. Knowing the moves & holds on redpoint send brings the route down to 10c or so . Super fun !

● Orange Express
Feb 28, 2026 · Lead / Redpoint. The start of this route is HARD. Not sure how it’s 5.10b with a V3 start if you start in the small dihedral with the thin finger crack. It looks like people have been traversing into this route from the right to gain access to the ledge and first bolt, but whatever. Then it’s fairly sustained through the middle section . This route kicked my ass , redpoint.
