● Airy Aria
Sep 21, 2024 · 1 pitch. Followed Amy on P2. Amazing climbing, but the moves off the deck are not 5.5, nor were the moves going up after the traverse, unless there was a better way to do it Amy had some horrendous rope drag at the finish! I think Amy went left midway to a second corner/roof system then traversed back right with a spicy traverse, whereas the intended route goes up the easier face

● Carbs and Caffeine
Sep 21, 2024 · 1 pitch. Follow. Followed Amy on P1. Super G rated thin fingers crack with tricky slab moves at the crux. Bottom is a bit hairy -- two 0.2s protect the powerful start layback, and it's about a body-length to the next piece. I think a good belay can keep you off the ground. Before the first piece it’s a big fall if you blow it, probably break an ankle with a good spot. The top crux was some fun thin slab work

● Boldina
Sep 21, 2024 · Lead / Redpoint. Lead P1, Amy lead P2. Pro is quite good during the early crux. Upper tricky slabs also generally have good gear. Felt great, I enjoyed this climb. The anchor seems to be missing; I slung a hollow block & pin but didn’t love it

● Ants' Line
Sep 21, 2024 · Lead / Redpoint. First 5.9! Amy belayed… YAHOO!! A 0.75 (left) and 1 (right) under the roof protect the crux. Extend them a bit. A 2 protects you after the crux on the right. The bottom has good holds and is probably 5.8. I found I wasn’t pumped starting the crux, but I found no good rest after the crux and got so pumped

● Northern Pillar
Aug 25, 2024 · Lead / Redpoint. With Alice, I led P1, 2. Alice led P3 — her first trad lead! I forgot to give her a direct belay appropriate device so she had to get some help figuring out the indirect belay P2 was less runout at the start than I remembered — I found some less-obvious gear. But I tried the direct start on P1 and found that very runout and non-obvious

● Middle Earth
Aug 25, 2024 · Lead / Onsight. Alice belayed. Such a fun, clean line — basically straight up minus the traverse when the holds run out. Lots of finger cracks, a few hand cracks. Nuts galore. I think 2 brassies in the thin horizontal would make for a safer start than going up to the horizontal above that. Bring plenty of slings (8-12), and at least 1 double length would be nice
