● Tricks of the Trade
Dec 13, 2025 · 14 pitches. Lead / Onsight. Huge route, classic but burly, especially if hauling. Day 1 we climbed to first ledges (just above P5, Calvinator), Day 2 we made it to top of P14 before we went down to rap before dark and get home before midnight. Tanner lead P1-4, I took P5-10, Tanner P11-14. I was feeling out of it, more sluggish and scared than usual ie Tanner leading most the hard/scary pitches haha. Not sure if it was lack of stoke or what. Hauling chimneys sucked, I basically lifted the bag on follow through most the mines of moria pitch. need to get haul line outside chimneys. Good bivys all over lower on route. I enjoyed the chimneys though I was on follow, they were slick and sandy too. Calvinator was sick. Headwall pitches were awesome. Tood the wrong handcrack variation on the right side of the pillar just left of the OW (the actual var starts on the left side) and had to traverse. Rack: Brassies and offsets, metolius gray and purp (only used on aid pitch), double black totem to #4, triples #1-#3, single #5 and #6. Only used #6 on calvinator though not super necessary, maybe useful on chimneys above headwall idk. See email for full pitch breakdown. Maybe will come back one day for the summit...

● Tatooine
Dec 6, 2025 · Lead / Onsight. Excellent climb. Almost no throw-away climbing for 1400 ft with a majority of it being 5.10+ or harder. It felt like an approachable 5.10+/5.11- though, not sandbagged. We did about 15hrs c2c, 2.25hrs approach, 9 hrs bottom to top, 3ish hours top of route to car via hiking off Mt Kinesava 3rd class descent (scrambled down and up notch to main Kinesava plateau, 1 rap and down scrambling to get to meadow, spent like 30min trying to find petroglyphs in the dark, no luck :(, then hiked down). Linked P1+2+part of P3 (Tanner thought P1 was to first anchor), 3+4, 5, 6+7, 8+9, 10+11, 12+13, 14, 15. Makes sense to link as this breakdown stops at all bolted anchors and skips gear belays (many of which would be hanging). Gear: Doubles black totem - #3, triples 0.4-2, single #4 worked well, might leave behind the third #2 next time. Three blocks, Tanner P1-5, me P6-11, Tanner P12-15. Fixed and followed while leader foot hauled 40L Metolius haul-bag, got stuck on a few pitches but with the follower coming up behind it no biggie. Thought the cruxes were top of P1, and finger crack on P12. Some tenuous sandy/scary sections higher up (P13 traverse, top of P15) but nothing unmanageable. See email for full pitch breakdown. Proud of this one!

● Burn Unit
Nov 22, 2025 · TR. Great pitch, fun traverses. Closer spaced bolts but you still gotta get to the first bolt of intensive care to start it. Fun day in the sun w/ Tanner James and Austin

● Intensive Care
Nov 22, 2025 · TR. Sweet climb, 1st bolt is super high up real bad fall potential. I’d definitely stick clip it if I ever went for the lead but respect to those that send it. P1 is cool, no falls. There was a fixed line on p2 so I tr soloed that pitch with a lead line as a backup, super sustained but great slabbing. Fell multiple times. W/ Tanner Austin and James. We put a TR in this swinging over from p1 of shock trauma.

● Shock Trauma
Nov 22, 2025 · TR. TRed after Austin put it up. Wouldn’t be too scary of a lead, mostly chill climbing with cruxes near bolts. Would be bad blowing it before the 2nd bolt though but it’s easier climbing. Good temps, w/ Austin, James and Tanner
