More Info

I like exploring. So far, trad, sport, bouldering, gym... they're all part of the same game and are components that add up to a great time. Been climbing since I was 9 and it's defined my life. See continuing to do so til this game ends.

Handcrack-a-rete
Nov 2, 2025 · 1 pitch. TR. P1 is stellar continuous hands jams. P2 is fun but a bit more gnarly. I thought from the descriptions that p2 would be the amazing crack climbing but it's mostly slab. More exposed which is neat. Great top anchor spot. Considered top ripping the 10 slab to the right from there but opted to rasp down to the upper Hollow Man anchors to climb its 2nd pitch to the summit.

Unleash The Lions
Nov 2, 2025 · 1 pitch. Follow. Excellent line. 70m reached with stretch from the top belay anchors. Some concern over a hanging block that you climb through. If someone were to place a cam above it and fall it might be enough to dislodge it. Perhaps it's bomber, but it looked suspect to me, at least over the long haul. Fear in the upper 25' is a bit confusing. Small pieces in big spaces.
