Lost Arrow Tip
Jun 3, 2023 · Lead. Climbed with Nick and Anna. Got soaked in the approach from the waterfall, but ended up having great sunny weather and incredible views from the top. Only used around 10 alpine draws, the recommendations to bring 20 plus must mean no backcleaning. The OW is easy with 1x2 2x3 and 1x4. Plus it’s 5.9 so it’s easy to just hold on and bump pieces if you need. Rope drag also isn’t a problem at all if you extend your pieces. Thanks Ryan for the shiny new bolts!

Yellow Ridge
May 7, 2023 · Swung leads with Nick. Really great climb. Cruxy physical first pitch with great pro, airy second to a great belay ledge, and incredible and improbable looking third with great jugs through the roof. Doesn't get much better for the grade!
