● Desperado
Jun 6, 2025 · TR. It feels closer to 11d/12a (MP doesn't have that split grade available wtf?!) The boulder problem is fair at V4 and consistent with other V4s (spoc?) I thought. The route adds two/three more hard moves in the 5.11 range to get established on the face so that adds up to almost 5.12a. Pretty neat climb - sort of a "ragged edge light". Bit of a one move wonder, but interesting enough if you chose to top out.

Jun 6, 2025 · Send. As part of sending the route. A worthy boulder problem - a bit of a one move wonder

● Purple Haze
Jun 2, 2025 · Send. Solid V4 but very morpho. Don't see how this could be considered V5. If you reach the holds (big if), it's a V4 with a bit of spice thrown in at the top (very similar in perceived difficulty to Walk on By and Spock. Lots easier than Wheeties). If you don't reach the holds, again, not V5, because now you need to campus on non-existing holds. Anyway, if you are 5.8+, get on this - great moves with a heady finish.

● Cowabunga
Jun 2, 2025 · TR. O/S - Never seen anyone on this, which is a shame because it is an amazing overhanging route that climbs like limestone (just wish it was double the length). Need a longish static rope to set it up properly. Bouldery bottom, open handed jugs on the overhanging face and some easy outro in really cool holds. Def putting it into the rotation.

● Despondency
May 8, 2025 · TR. What a fantastic "climb" (more like a boulder - it's barely any moves). Hard to grade as it's one hard move followed by the same move in a slightly easier variation at the top. 11+*ish? Fantastic but definitely flows more like a boulder problem :)
