Oct 7, 2023 · Lead / Onsight. Fun climb. Stemming leads to a traverse, then up. Clipping left and crossing onto the face gives it the 5.9- rating. Would probably go at 5.7 as a crack climb.

Oct 7, 2023 · Lead / Redpoint. Ok climb. Top gets a bit thin. I had to use a crimpy right hand. I feel like that move is vantage 10a, but thee bottom is easier than vantage 5.9, so on balance the grade is ok. Felt like an onsight b/c I don't remembering trying it before. With Simon and family. Fun day!

Sep 30, 2023 · Lead / Redpoint. Clean repeat. Fun. With champagne. We both enjoyed the climb. She gave a good belay. Went to the top of 2nd anchor (led both as a single pitch). Having 2 extended slings was clutch. At the bottom i had to try hard and even felt some pump. Wasn’t in the flow today.

Sep 30, 2023 · TR. Josh put up the rope (onsight). He’s got a steel pulse. I wasn’t feeling so bold, so instead of leading I clipped all the bolts on top - rope(clean), and the clip stances were good. I could do this for sure, but the first 3 bolts are scary, and the traverse after/ around second bolt was super fun but a bit beta intensive. Couple of good rests up high would make this very doable on lead.

Sep 30, 2023 · Lead / Fell/Hung. Took a HUGE whipper at the 4th(?) bolt. Just pumped out trying to clip. Surprised- off my game. I thought I’d do better cause I’ve been training a lot, but I guess I need to train endurance (and technique). Josh gave a good belay / catch and on-sighted the route. My beta for that bolt is to stand on toes and high clip rather than climb up next to it and try to use the right crimp. Once I did that it was all good. That traverse was fun too. Love that right hand side pull / left hand reach move! I’m sure I can red-point this- just not my day today.

Jun 9, 2023 · Lead / Redpoint. Clean. Fun climbing. A bit pumpy at bottom and top. Unbeatable rest in the middle with a huge jug on a ledge. Climbing straight up above the ledge works just fine. Pumpy though. Last climb of the day after a full on day mountain biking with Jay. Fun day!

Mar 24, 2023 · Lead / Fell/Hung. Did NOT send. Felt harder than some other 11.a’s. Multiple whippers. At third bolt I whipped upside down. My beta was complicated & balancy. Rework? I could possibly get this when fresh. Dave got the redpoint like a boss and gave good belay’s & catches.

Mar 12, 2023 · Lead / Redpoint. First 11.a redpoint! With Dave, who sent it first, put up the top- rope, and gave a great belay. Got it on my 3rd go. Worked my way left beneath the first bolt before clipping b1, then undercling to secure flake jug for b2, then more side-pulls to third clip, heel hook to clip b3. Then up the face on crimps and small feet until it eases up. After that, mostly 5.8 ish with a small 10b section along the way.

Mar 11, 2023 · Lead. With Jed. Approached via Mr. Z. Awesome day. I led 2&4. Jed led 1, 3, and combined 5-6 into a single pitch. Pitch 1 was fun / solid 5.8. The first finger crack on P2 was easy to protect but hard for me (1 hang; I have no crack skills) but apparently I missed the fact that you could just climb left of the crack at 5.8. I Loved all the pitches. I thought pitch 4 was easier than 3. Pitch 5 had tons of rope drag. The arete was cool. The descent was long with snow. Champagne and Dan climbed with us. Great group! A single rack of cams to #2 with micro cams and a full set of small to standard nuts would be PLENTY and I’m the type of guy who brings lots of gear.

Mar 11, 2023 · Lead / Onsight. Went straight up through the crux on marginal feet and interesting hand / body positioning. Really fun but hard crux if you go straight. Crux seemed 10c/d to me, whereas the rest of the route was much easier. I thought it was safe to lead at the crux with a clean fall zone. Jed gave a good belay.

Double rack was handy for gear belays. Smaller gear was rarely used. Slung lots of features.

Dec 12, 2022 · 5 pitches. Lead / Onsight. Lead first pitch only. Seemed harder than the grade suggested. Dave led pitch 2, then the off-route but stellar finger crack (5.9+), which skips p3&4 of solar slab. Then Dave led the 5th pitch, which also seemed hard for the grade if you used the corner. Overall a fun route, but generally it felt a little stiff for the grade and run out.

Dec 9, 2022 · TR. Super fun! I could RP this. Crux = sloper right crimp with high right foot + throw left hand up to good hold, then another great hold just above that one (right hand?), then clip the 5th bolt (pre-clip draw in rope and hang on harness for 5th bolt). Take long rest on ledge, then go to the top. Don’t get distracted trying to use the horn. I did better ignoring the horn and just going up.
