Buttermilk Falls
Jan 31, 2026 · Lead / Onsight. with Kyle - block leads (I lead the middle pitches). Brought 11 screws (mostly 16s/13s with one stubby). This would be nice for the WI4 variations. We only needed about 4-5 screws for the mellow steps. Tree belays. Be careful of the hole over the stream on P2. Another party fell through.

Apoplexy
Nov 16, 2025 · Gear beta - - pin (could be backed up with a .75?) - 0.5 (bomber) - dont place gear behind the flake, just go, its all there. - 0.4 at the horizontal - grey offset nut (bigger one) - dark blue offset nut (smaller one - its good!) - 0.75 in the wavy weird crack. totem? or Z4 - big light blue offset nut (place it in the crack and nestle it against the dihedral (unique, but good placement) - crux - 0.75-0.5? (I placed a 0.75) - jugs - decent rest - 3 in the corner of 0.3 in the horizontal - easier climbing to the chains.
