Big Chimney
Apr 20, 2025 · 2 pitches. Lead / Onsight. The true funk. Unprotected chimney climbing with a spicy traverse for only have one ok finger sized cam in to get started. Linked that into the next pitch which was a bad idea. The second chimney is epic, well protected, with a 180 move and a chimney traverse to escape to the daylight. Had the worst rope drag in the universe belaying Jess and Nathan in Parallel. The 5.7 roof pitch to finish was a joy.

Belly Roll
Apr 18, 2025 · 1 pitch. Lead / Onsight. Real silliness with Jess and Nathan. Literally almost inverted to do the belly roll because I had too much gear, maybe too much ass to spin 180 in the crack. Led in one big mega pitch in parallel, and Jess and Nathan decided to race to the top. So I spent a good 10 minutes pulling ropes like a mad man through the ATC guide. Wind was Mount Washington levels up top!

Apr 17, 2025 · Lead / Onsight. Warm up. Cool to climb some lichen covered, chalkless rock for the first time in a hot minute. Easy slab down low to a perplexing mantle out right. Creepy traverse back around the corner to another fun mantle. Almost skipped the bolt on the slab by accident.

Technosurfing
Apr 17, 2025 · Lead / Redpoint. Woooh. I’m officially a sport climber! Or at least one that knows how to heel hook. Fourth go this season, 6th overall. When I tried this climb back in 2023 I didn’t really like it, I also never got past the boulder problem. This season I worked the beta out and really fell in love with the sequence. This climb feels awkward until you get used to the weird beta and unforgiving stone, then it feels epic! Sent in perfect temps with just enough sun to stay warm. Felt really solid on the corner and the boulder problem!

Apr 14, 2025 · Lead / Onsight. Have been looking for an excuse to climb this. Today it was just dry enough. Crux is getting off the ground, then it’s good jams and jugs to the top. Tricky gear before the top out. Nuts or a 0.2 are helpful here. Ash TRd after.

Apr 14, 2025 · Lead / Onsight. One I’ve been meaning to get around to for a minute. Funky moves to get established on the first shelf, the crux was a long reach to a crimp that helped me fully stand up. The rest of the climb was easier but still sustained, with a tricky mantle out left to hit the good jug on the arete (hidden). Zen sent it for his first 11a after!
