● A Clean Getaway
Sep 7, 2025 · Lead / Redpoint. Clean! Jeremiah belayed. Tried doing as one pitch, but realized rope might be short, so built anchor at great sitting/rest flake to right of mid-pitch2, so miah could rap down, get other rope and then belayed him up to higher saddle (top of p1). Then he put me back on belay and continued up pitch 2. Barely got the stem. Both of us were euphoric at top (such an amazing climb). Save purple totem as last cam on Outer Outlet side, save black totem for first cam on vertigo side before committing out of stem.

● West Rib
Sep 6, 2025 · Lead / Onsight. Jeremiah belayed. Deserves R/X rating, easy climbing, but big runouts (only 3 bolts on first pitch, no gear except initial .75). Second pitch I did step across and went past 3 anchors till last one and belayed from there. step across was exciting. No gear but a few long slings, quickdraws, and .75 for start of p1.
