● Towering Inferno
May 30, 2016 · 1 pitch. Absolutely amazing. I led pitch 2. That first overhung was pretty intense. I missed the bigger hold right above the right hand crimp near 1st roof. 11b section further up was damn near impossible. What is the beta at the 2-3 bolt?

● Heart of the Sun
May 30, 2016 · Someone ran off with my yellow grigri and magneto carabiner after i let them borrow my top rope setup. I was up on another pitch and found out later when it was missing. Please pm me if you were in the party involved. I'm sure it was an accidental mistake
