● Tree Grease
Jun 7, 2026 · Lead / Fell/Hung. Joe belayed. 1 fall. Gear was .5 at bottom of big crack (first piece), blue and black totem right next to each other above that, then crux and yellow totem at bottom of next pod in crack. RH undercling in crack, LH to good hold out left of crack, stem a bit, left hand to something, feet on right wall, then I think RH ringlock at pod (can get cam below ringlock). then go up and stem when possible. Hard.
