More Info

About Me: was 5'4" but shrinking to match my short arms; arthritis everywhere and nerve pain in feet. Yes, I'm old for you youngsters out there. There, I said it myself. P.S. I use "onsight" to refer to ascents made w/o movement beta, even if someone (usu. bigger/taller) climbed right before me or I might've done it years ago. P.P.S. Ticks (selective) are just my spray about the past. "The older I get, the better I was."

It's a Trap!...ezoid
Jul 12, 2026 · Oh, that approach and that deproach -- tough! The altitude combined with a stubborn sinus infection certainly did not help. There are brief sections on this short route that are enjoyable, although CEH did all the leading. His idea anyway.

Psychedelic Tree
Mar 22, 2026 · Lead / Onsight. Such a fun route. No loose rock if you stay in the corner. The topout is wild. Did the East Wall descent 5 times this weekend. It's a nice trail, but it got old -- a dedicated rappel line would have been sweet!

Hand Tools, Evolved
Mar 8, 2026 · Lead. Almost a year flew by. If I still had to figure out every hold and move, can I mark it onsight, again? ;-) Nothing broke on me and my partner (P.S. was corrected on that), so that is good. The routes on Whitetail plus this Power Tools climb make a great moderate circuit all in the shade. We had the perfect condition.

Ahab
Feb 8, 2026 · TR. A clean TR fun run after a 10 year gap. Took me 30 minutes. Pretty sure I can shave a few minutes off if I get back to it, but it's still significantly more than my Generator Crack lap (4'09"). Time to downgrade Generator Crack? ;-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6_LGzEWS2Q

Nov 29, 2025 · TR. TRonsight, twice. Glad I TR'ed because my toes were hurting so bad from the cold and the normal nerve pain. Fun climb though.
