Hillyer Ravine
Dec 8, 2024 · Lead / Onsight. Lead lower right although it was easy & thin. Also, quickie on upper tier of the right line. It just had a tiny head wall that was quick and done. Moved over to second tier of the left-sided line, which was a three minus on the right. The middle top roped as I was very sustained and rotten chandeliers. Need to go back and lead left hand lower first pitch area. Has the best steepest ice.

Frog's Head
Oct 28, 2024 · TR. Definitely want crack gloves for 1st pitch. Narrows down to fingers, but will protect well with small cams or nuts @ constrictions. Crux was supposedly sloper holds coming out of finger crack. But didn't recall such on follow. Jason said go left here. 2nd pitch very sustained. But everything there. Head up right side of jugged overhanging prow, then cross left up onto its arete. Then diagonal traverse up and right to ledge. Walk right to 2 raps from bolt anchor to mis station. 70 with tagline would touch down for one rap.

Son of Easy O
Oct 28, 2024 · TR. Super touchy thin climbing down low, balance. Upper section had to hang on final piece has flamed out at juggy overhang. Tricky, if pull final piece before lip you're too overhung to get back on the route. Really desperate pull over top to right in order to get right foot on prow of overhang.

Coronary
Oct 28, 2024 · TR. Hard as F. Section about 20 feet off ground requires insane smearing on tiny crimp holds. Forced to batman belay rope through this section ultimately. Upper part has an under cling that's burly with conglomerate features and crack above that's difficult.

Apoplexy
Oct 27, 2024 · TR. Hard. Had to hang at crux. Required side pull/lay back to right off upper seam where higher crack was thin not juggy enough to me to side pull on. Feet weren't great there. Jason led the route in approach shoes!!
