5.8 Offwidth
Dec 13, 2025 · Lead. Left side in this time. Felt slightly less strenuous like this, but much more awkward than right side in. With JT & Michael

Wide Robbins
Dec 13, 2025 · Lead. With JT & Michael. Led it in pure fists to calf locks / hand stacks style this time. Kind of unnecessary because easy armbars do the trick at this angle, but seemed like good calf lock practice and also made it much easier to keep the rope out of the crack.

Hillary Step
Dec 8, 2025 · Follow. Followed Matthew. Jamming it straight in is definitely harder than it looks from the ground.

Unnamed OW
Dec 7, 2025 · Lead / Redpoint. Clean on second attempt. Gear: #5, #7, #6 (but most combinations with ideally 2 pieces #6 or larger should work)

Unnamed OW
Dec 7, 2025 · Lead / Fell/Hung. Hung a few times on the first attempt and took me a while (and some scrapes) to figure out a beta that works for me --> right side in and first some T-stacks and a rattly fist jam at the bulgy crux, then some heel-in first heel-toe cams and calf locks. Once I got consistently good chicken wings above the bulge it was chill. Based on previous comments I brought a lot of big gear (#5, #6 and doubles in #7/8) but it turns out you really just need 3 pieces in the 5-7 range.

Left Crack
Dec 7, 2025 · Lead / Onsight. Super fun and pretty long for Woodson. The first move to the jams at the bottom of the pod is a bit weird, but can be well-protected by a bomber nut at the very bottom constriction of the pod. Left finger lock at the base of the pod made it possible to adjust the hand jam just above it (flip to thumbs up), place a #6 in the pod, confidently work up the feet and fire up to the next good jam above the pod. The rest is easier and fun hands and fists. Gear: red dmm offset nut with the wider side facing inwards (but most nuts should work there), #6, then some more 3s and 4s with some options for smaller gear
