Quaking Has-Beens
Apr 15, 2026 · Lead / Onsight. With Kevin Powell. Stick clipped first bolt but you could get a good nut before the bolt. Long runs between bolts but big holds mostly. Many hollow patina plates between bolt 2 &3. Would be a great route if rock quality were better. Got two nuts and a black totem between bolt 3 and bolt anchor on top. Rings. 60m is plenty.

Calliope
Apr 13, 2026 · Lead. With Kevin Powell. Good route but FA party altered existing route (3 Ring Circus) to pur this up, removing the hanger from bolt 2 of the established route and placing a new bolt 4' up and right. Crux is at dike between bolts 2 & 3. Stay right of dike with left hand on dike. Tried going left and right hand on dike first but not the way. This route climbs first third of 3 Ring Circus then goes straight up. Bolt anchor with alu carabiners at top (not musseys). FA party removed the stronger, more durable steel quicklinks and rings that were at this 3 Ring Circus anchor.

Sawdust and Peanut Shells
Apr 13, 2026 · TR. With Kevin Powell. TR'd after leading the route left of Lion Tamer, which is named Into the Tube Sock according to Don Reid (5.8 I think). Sawdust crux is getting to first bolt. Crimps for hands. Right foot high to small edge just below lip. Press up and left foot to edge at lip out left. Sustained 5.9 after crux until move right onto tan Rock of rounded atete. Long run from last bolt to anchors but eases as you go higher.

Thomson Roof
Apr 10, 2026 · Follow. With Earl McAllister. Tried to lead this but couldn't pull the roof. Hung. Thin hands jam, insecure. Then high reach to small painful fingerlock/crimp. Then easier. Rock is garbage in bottom part of this route. 5th class downclimb to climber's right. Not recommended.

Left hand to onvious hold on lip of scoop then match. Then small crimps up and left. Then it eases. Stick clip first bolt, or first two bolts even.
