Puppet On A String
May 10, 2026 · Lead / Redpoint. 3 tries today. Have tried it years ago but had to figure out the beta again. Low crux: right hand on chockstone, get right foot on nub on the outside of crack. Left hand on left side of crimp with room to match. Right on on slopey arete. Left foot far to this black knob that’s hard to see. Then hard match. Rest perched on good right foot from rail. Left hand in juggy side pull. High right foot in pod. Right hand in bad rail Gaston and then up to good Gaston. Left hand low side pull, right hand above it in seam crimp. Tenuous left reach to good side pull. Rest there. From good side pull and crimp bump right hand out to right crack. Good stem rest for the clip. Squeeze both cracks, high left foot and go big right move to the rail.

Better Than Sex.... Porpoises
May 3, 2026 · Lead / Redpoint. 3rd try. Post-break it feels maybe 12+ for me since I have more reach. Agree it’s a one move wonder. High left foot and big lock off to the crimp with left hand. Then open hips and catch the good Gaston. Used the kneebar at the 4th bolt. Probs not super necessary since the climbing is not that hard up to there.

The Emperor's New Clothes
May 3, 2026 · Lead / Redpoint. 2nd try, with the jump start. End of the day. First go was bolt to bolt since there was no chalk on the route. 2nd go was a battle not pumping out on the head wall. Proud to fight through that one

Las Manos del Dia
Dec 11, 2024 · Incredible route, stacked and stout. I let Eric flail his way on the wild face pitch (appropriately named). Splitter hands was so great, and the offwidth was a fucking battle. Slipped on wet glacial polish down low and dirty crux move up top. Felt like pound for pound one of the hardest long routes I’ve tried. Eric and I climbed alongside the Italians Lorenzo and Joele and Lorenzo took a huge whip out of the upper offwidth crux. Fortunately he was okay, but their rope got messed up. As I was climbing the chossy gulley pitch two condors landed 10’ above me. They stared me down with their huge dark eyes before I scared them off. They looked like dragons with their plumage. Epic’d on the rappels when our rope got stuck twice on a pull and I had to jug up and fix it. The cause was shitty bolt setup that made our rope super twisty. Ended up getting back to camp at 2am I think.
