Haystack
Jul 3, 2026 · Lead / Redpoint. Led P2. Bulge is the tricky Crux, roof was very intimidating but ends up very easy. Roof P3 felt easy too. We did (w/ Yi) the wrong start, one crack to the left and needed to do a scary runout traverse to the right to get back to the first belay ledge.

Haystack
May 25, 2026 · Follow. Flailed so much on this somehow. Supposed to lead P2 & 3 but ended up just following. Maybe just the end of the day but the crack climbing, bulge and roof gave me a lot of trouble. Have to come back and try again with better trad and crack experience. First Time at LL.
