● Racing Lizards
Oct 10, 2026 · w/ Wendy P1: 5.8 start, splitter is so fun P2: Fun, gear where you need it. Save a #3 for the crack before the anchors. P3: I exited right before the orange roof to the left leaning groove as described in the guidebook. I explored going over the orange roof but the gear looked pretty marginal. Got a black totem in at the top of the groove, then joined the right trending groove and found a C3 and big RP to get to the bolt. Fun route, but definitely a little heads up at times. Rack: singles from green C3 to #2, double #0.5, #0.75

Oct 9, 2026 · w/ Wendy for our 27th anniversary! Approach P1 from the left. Belay took #1, #2 and a #3 or #4 P1: tricky. Nut off the ground, #0.5, then I nested some #0.75, #2, #3 before an exciting little jaunt to the base of the wide bit where a #5 went in perfectly. Then a #4 to the belay. P2: so fun! don't crack off the knobs, find the easy way in. Crack up top took #0.4-#0.75 and a nut. So fun. P3: safe and fun. Last rap gets you right above your packs and you can walk off the ledge to retrieve them.
