5.8- 5b 16 VI- 14 VS 4c 97 ● The Thing Mar 18, 2026 · Lead / Onsight. Another great climb with fun moves and plenty to pull on. Sport Cherokee Rock V… > New Wall (AKA Kurt Ru…
5.10- 6a 18 VI+ 18 E1 5a 117 ● Apple JAMS Mar 14, 2026 · Lead / Fell/Hung. So close! The crux here is after the third clip; there's an amazing hold, and then you have to reach up to a tiny right (if you reach too far to the left on the hold, you'll fall) and a nub for the left hand and stand up! There are amazing holds over that, so fun! Sport Cherokee Rock V… > New Wall (AKA Kurt Ru…
5.8 5b 16 VI- 15 HVS 4c 157 ● Captain Ron Mar 14, 2026 · Lead / Onsight. This is a cool climb staying on the arête as long as possible and then swinging to the face. Don't stem across, more fun that way. Sport Cherokee Rock V… > New Wall (AKA Kurt Ru…
5.7 5a 15 V+ 13 MVS 4b 109 ● Don't Need No Names aka Bogos Mar 14, 2026 · Lead / Onsight. This is a great, fun little climb with a cool start of an undercling. Sport Cherokee Rock V… > New Wall (AKA Kurt Ru…
5.7+ 5a 15 V+ 13 MVS 4b 105 ● Just Sevens and Eights aka Binted Mar 14, 2026 · Lead / Onsight. This is a great, fun little climb with the crux low down (like most of the other climbs on this wall). Sport Cherokee Rock V… > New Wall (AKA Kurt Ru…
5.7 5a 15 V+ 13 MVS 4b 13 ● Campfire Quesadilla Mar 14, 2026 · TR. Fun! Really want to lead this one on trad. Good warm up for newer climbers. Trad, TR Cherokee Rock V… > Boy Scout Wall
5.7+ 5a 15 V+ 13 MVS 4b 10 ● Danger Noodles Mar 14, 2026 · TR. Fun little jaunt with a fun crux at the top (make sure to take your time to figure otu what side to pull up). Would like to lead on trad, think it'll protect well. Trad Cherokee Rock V… > Boy Scout Wall
5.6 4c 14 V 12 S 4b 136 ● Standard Route Mar 14, 2026 · Lead / Flash. Still a fun little jaunt; first trad lead of the season. Next time, might try the 5.9 variation. Trad Cherokee Rock V… > Pinnacle
5.8 5b 16 VI- 15 HVS 4c 124 ● Sweet Surrender Jan 4, 2026 · Lead / Flash. Just as fun as last time; with it getting dark, definitely feels a little bit harder, but still got it clean. If topping out, don't belay from the chains; instead top out and belay off of a tree, we'll make it way more comfortable. Sport Foster Falls > 15. Music City/The 5.…
5.9+ 5c 17 VI 17 E1 5a 22 ● Everybody Knows Fire Jan 4, 2026 · Lead / Fell/Hung. This this is a really fun climb but way harder than you think it's going to be. Took a 25-30 ft whipper on it, Dave caught me like a champ. When finally pulling the crux, there's a lip that you can grab and that's what makes it doable. If you miss it though you go flying. I'd say this is more of a 10a than a 9. Sport Foster Falls > 18. Dog Boy Village
5.7 5a 15 V+ 13 MVS 4b 259 ● Gravity Boots Nov 22, 2025 · Lead / Onsight. I really enjoyed this climb. Everyone said it was wet and harder than a 5.7, but I thought it was pretty great if you take your time and find everything. Would do again. Sport Foster Falls > 11. Rocket Slab
5.10b 6a+ 19 VII- 19 E2 5b 275 ● Fish-eyed Fool Nov 22, 2025 · TR. Boy this climb has my number! Tried leading it, but didn't get past second clip. Did it again as TR, and still couldn't get past clip 3 (so tired by that point). Someday this climb will go, but today wasn't that day! Sport Foster Falls > 10. The Sanford Wall
5.10a 6a 18 VI+ 18 E1 5a 14 ● Lay Lady Lay Nov 22, 2025 · Lead / Fell/Hung. This is a great climb that deserves more love! The crux is low (it's pulling the roof at the giant undercling), but safe. For me, I put a left foot in this little divot to the left, got a high right foot, got a good hold on the undercling (it's big!), and then go up to this hidden hole/hold with the right hand. Hold on and then drive those feet upwards. Once above the bulge, it's glorious climbing. Will redo and pretty sure I can get clean! Sport Foster Falls > 15. Music City/The 5.…
5.8 5b 16 VI- 15 HVS 4c 124 ● Sweet Surrender Nov 22, 2025 · Lead / Onsight. This is a fun little jaunt. A little longer, but still straight forward. Take your time, it's all there, nothing too hard. Would happily do again (and good to take newbies on). It keeps mixing between lots of different rock feels and it's really pretty (orange lichen parts are my favorite). Sport Foster Falls > 15. Music City/The 5.…
5.9 5c 17 VI 17 HVS 5a 164 ● Pocket Pool Nov 22, 2025 · Lead / Flash. Still a fun warm-up; got offroute near the top and went too far right, but what can you do, it was still fun. Sport Foster Falls > 14. The Red Light Dis…
5.8 5b 16 VI- 15 HVS 4c 299 ● Jacob's Ladder Nov 22, 2025 · Lead / Flash. Still a fun warm-up; easy with nice moves. Good to take newbies on (day spent with AP, Marisa, and Marcus). Sport Foster Falls > 14. The Red Light Dis…
5.6 4c 14 V 12 S 4b 60 ● Two Man Party Orange Nov 2, 2025 · Lead / Flash. Felt good to get back on the rock! Took AP and HyeYun up it. Same as before, easy start, getting over the bulge a little heady but morning hard. Cruised the rest. Beautiful views and a great time.

5.6 4c 14 V 12 S 4b 64 ● Motorcycle Mama Mar 25, 2025 · Lead / Onsight. Fun trad climb, 90ft of solid climbing. The crux was my fat fingers inside a very tight crack (combined with me learning to trust Mel as a belayer). Great view from the top, and protects super well. To get there find the climb from the road and then head straight up to its ledge when a little past it. Super fun and the entire Tchiang Clan made it up!

5.7 5a 15 V+ 13 MVS 4b 120 ● Haunted House Mar 22, 2025 · Lead / Onsight. Fun little jaunt taking Xavier and Yli up (first one of the day, good fun, morning spicy). Sport Southern Nevada > … > First Pullout (… > Amusement Park
5.7 5a 15 V+ 13 MVS 4b 100 ● Demon Drop Mar 22, 2025 · Lead / Onsight. Fun little jaunt taking Xavier and Yli up. Sport Southern Nevada > … > First Pullout (… > Amusement Park
5.7 5a 15 V+ 13 MVS 4b 105 ● Bumper Cars Mar 22, 2025 · Lead / Onsight. Fun little jaunt taking Xavier and Yli up. The start was the toughest, but it was fun, not hard. Sport Southern Nevada > … > First Pullout (… > Amusement Park
5.9 5c 17 VI 17 HVS 5a 66 ● Wet Willie Dec 20, 2024 · Lead / Pinkpoint. Gave it another go with the beta I figured out and cruised up it like it was nothing. Still think stick clipping the second bolt is a good idea. Sport Foster Falls > 08. Jimmywood
5.9 5c 17 VI 17 HVS 5a 66 ● Wet Willie Dec 20, 2024 · Lead / Fell/Hung. Was pretty tricky, had to take a couple of times to work it out (the temps didn't help). Once I found I go to the left to get that first foot by the first bolt and the small crimp for the right hand by the 4th bolt, that was it. Very good climb. Sport Foster Falls > 08. Jimmywood
5.8+ 5b 16 VI- 15 HVS 4c 310 ● Bear Mountain Picnic Dec 20, 2024 · Lead / Flash. Still a great climb; little painful with cold fingers, but a lot of fun. Sport Foster Falls > 08. Jimmywood
5.8 5b 16 VI- 15 HVS 4c 435 ● Prerequisite for Excellence Dec 19, 2024 · Lead / Fell/Hung. Kicking myself in the butt for not getting this one clean. Climbed it as a dihedral and it was tough and heady but I'll be damned if I didn't make it to the crux which is pulling out from under the roof. I ended up taking there on a black totem tucked underneath it; to pull the crux, it's just commitment. Put in the black totem or any other piece, grab on around the corner, lay back, and just stand up. Once you're over the roof, the rest is just fine. Pretty happy with it, and will do again!

5.7 5a 15 V+ 13 MVS 4b 185 ● Plastic Toys Dec 19, 2024 · Lead / Onsight. Easy peasy lemon squeezy; still a fantastic warm up and you can go straight up to the room before moving to the left. And a fun start! Trad Tennessee Wall > (6) The Amphitheater
5.7 5a 15 V+ 13 MVS 4b 296 ● Nappy Dec 19, 2024 · Lead / Fell/Hung. Pretty fun climb today with Billy and Janet; took a very legit surprise fall near the crux. Was on the wall and next thing I knew, I was dangling in the air; all happened so damn fast, didn't see it coming! Thank you Billy for the great reaction, and the green totem for saving my life from hitting the ledge (and my ample ass for cushioning the blow as it made just a bit of contact). Would still do again! Trad Tennessee Wall > (6) The Amphitheater
5.8+ 5b 16 VI- 15 HVS 4c 50 ● Sunday Gardening Nov 23, 2024 · Lead / Flash. Holy shit, I did it! First 2/3 is stemming corner that eats up gear (I placed 14 pieces total and likely would have more if I had more slings) and is spicy for my style of climbing. Last 1/3 is a fun, albeit heady roof to a final move to the chains. Last time I didn't even get it clean on TR, and now leading it clean. Hell yes! Trad Tennessee Wall > (7) Orange Blossom Wall
5.6 4c 14 V 12 S 4b 30 ● Motor Boatin S.O.B. Nov 23, 2024 · Lead / Onsight. Not too shabby a warm-up; little dirty, but empty and fun. Trad Tennessee Wall > (6) The Amphitheater
5.9 5c 17 VI 17 HVS 5a 2 ● Storm Corner (aka Woody) Oct 13, 2024 · Lead / Fell/Hung. Kicking myself in the butt for this one! Such a great climb and eats up protection! Don't know how to crack climb, so did as a combo of laybacking and stemming and it was fantastic. I was at the last stem before being able to reach up and pull off and my foot slipped (unexpectedly and it was the right move)--reset and did it again no problem. After you pull out of the crack, wonderful 5.6 climbing. Must do again! And while AP is a stronger climber, outclimbed him here and it felt great! Don't see how to use the anchor to get down (and if you did climb to it, it'll be really hard to get your gear back unless a follower cleans). Instead, suggest climbing to the big tree over the top of the climb and then rappelling down. Trad Woodcock Cove > (p) The Still House
5.6 4c 14 V 12 S 4b 6 ● Barrels of Fun Oct 13, 2024 · Lead / Onsight. I don't think I did the correct route because this was considerably harder than a 5.6. I think maybe I started too far to the right. Or maybe it was correct and I just goofed. Either way, wouldn't bother to repeat. Trad Woodcock Cove > (o) The Distillery (A…
5.8 5b 16 VI- 15 HVS 4c 48 ● Pruno Oct 13, 2024 · Lead / Onsight. Fun warmup and nice easy first lead of the season. And using my new draws was fantastic! Sport Woodcock Cove > (o) The Distillery (A…
5.8+ 5b 16 VI- 15 HVS 4c 71 ● The Return May 11, 2024 · Lead / Onsight. Good warmup, though not a gimmie; this climb makes you work, but some of that could be my lack of familiarity with this rock type. The only crux is the after getting on the first giant ledge, the next bolt is about 10ft up and that is a no fall situation; took me a couple tries to figure out how do it with some comfort, but got it after several up and down climbs.

5.10a 6a 18 VI+ 18 E1 5a 98 ● Guardian Angel May 11, 2024 · Lead / Fell/Hung. This was an incredible climb. First roof no problem, but the hits just keep on coming. Getting past the second roof to the final bolt is brutal, no feet, but it goes! Fell at the second to last bolt, got back on, pulled it clean with a sidepull in the horizontal, and then made it to the chairs (not sure how, that face climbing is crazy). Will do again and get clean! Sport N Chick Gorge,… > Leda > Lower Leda
5.11c 6c+ 24 VIII- 24 E4 6a 5 ● Drama Apr 27, 2024 · Lead / Fell/Hung. AP and I got confused and thought this was Ladies Delight! Needless to say I didn't get past the roof at the second bolt. At least I was able to downclimb and save AP's draws. Funny way to end a great day. Sport Denny Cove > Denny East > Ladies Delight
5.10a/b 6a+ 19 VI+ 19 E2 5b 50 ● Federal Offense Apr 27, 2024 · Lead / Fell/Hung. Went after it a second time; first crux low down (around 3rd bolt) there are no feet, just smear and commit. Thought I would actually get it this time, but near the top, foot popped very unexpectedly and took a good fall (and great catch by AP). This climb will definitely go clean next time! Love it!
