● Chicane
May 23, 2026 · Lead / Redpoint. After bolting and working this for a few sessions, I was able to redpoint this amazing line on my second attempt that day. Troy tied in and joined me on the FA. Going for the extension next!

● Earth Day
May 23, 2026 · Lead / Flash. Troy linked the first two pitches and I linked the second two. To reduce rope drag on the first two pitches, Troy skipped a number of bolts and extended others. This route is a blast!! Absolute adventure.

● Sanitarium
May 16, 2026 · Lead. Sent this with Troy. I sent the first pitch and Troy sent the second. Both of us followed clean on TR. I ended up leading Irie Corner and linked it with the 11d 4th pitch. All clean but rope drag was a drag. What an epic route. Wow. Classic. Top of my list for sure.
