● Atomic Gecko
Jun 21, 2025 · 3 pitches. Lead / Fell/Hung. Got close to sending second go, falling going to last bolt. Third go wasn’t as good. Quite beta intensive, but solid movement.

● Window Shopper
Jun 21, 2025 · Lead / Onsight. Good route. Wanders a bit too much and weird bolting to give it 4 stars.

Jun 20, 2025 · Lead / Onsight. The extension added some variety and made for a better overall climb. Tricky jams in a few spots.

Jun 20, 2025 · Lead / Onsight. More of the same. It’s long but not any better. Not a bad climb, just not as interesting as many others in the canyon.
