Very Disco
Nov 30, 2024 · Solo. Onsight solo first pitch. Descriptions sounddd like it could top out but without knowing how to get down I don’t want to commit

Foxfire
Nov 30, 2024 · 2 pitches. Solo. Attempt for a full rp solo. Putzed around on 1st pitch ledge and finally climbed 2nd. Hung around and climbed up the belly crawl and it just felt too exposed, too committing, and too frictiony to make the pull, at least for today.

Red Scare
Sep 21, 2024 · TR. Spicy meatballs! No falls but definitely heady. Would make a very proud lead next trip. Rock is very grippy, hands and feet can pretty much go anywhere, but again, smart sequencing, bumps, balance, and trusting high feet keep it at grade.

Watermark
Sep 21, 2024 · Lead / Flash. Pretty tough for a 9 imo. But in my style, big moves and high feet make it very doable.

Phone Call From Satan
Sep 20, 2024 · Lead / Onsight. Tall boiii! Huecos then thin face then balancy runout slab. Real good time though. Bit burly at times but goes comfortably while still being one to be proud of.
