● The Hymnal
Sep 12, 2026 · Lead / Onsight. Paul belayed. Cool route, though hollow/chossy at roof. Rap was off back side so bring shoes for walk around. Extend last puton and bolt to reduce rope drag.

● Montana Centennial Route
Aug 26, 2026 · Lead / Onsight. With Triston and Grace. Awesome route! Did Hoeven Leo start. Led all but p3 and p9. At crux pitch, a yellow totem goes in flake well, red c3 above it, fixed nut out right. That s-crack pitch after turning the corner up high and doing hand traverse was best pitch. Amazing that the FA party found it! Wandery, hard to know where some pitches should end. Got rained on as we did the rappel. Hiked out the more chill gully down to the 2nd lake, long hike back. Great day! Brought double rack to 3 and a #4 along with some C3s and nuts. No bolted anchors. Climb took 11 hrs camp to camp I think. Hiked in 2026-08-25 (5.5 hrs), hiked out 2026-08-28 (3.5 hrs).
