Feast of Fools
Apr 18, 2026 · TR. Set up after Proctoscope with Amy This was very cool, but hardcore! 0.3 and 0.4 below the first roof. A #3 protects below the second roof, a 0.3/0.4 offset with the piton at the roof, then a red ballnut in the dihedral above

Proctoscope
Apr 18, 2026 · Follow. Amy lead. This seemed thin! You have to make some very committing moves above your gear, and the moves are thin around. Would be a pretty heady lead, probably not for me! The upper crux is non-obvious; you need to move left and layback the crack. There’s no gear for a bit after that!

Bonnie's Roof
Apr 18, 2026 · Lead / Fell/Hung. With Amy. Lots of hangs. Hung at the bottom of the flake, then below the crux. For P2, hung above the roof on a jank #2, then left below the layback. P1 and p2 direct P1 — yellow DMM at the bottom of the hollow flake. #4 far left below the crux roof. Pull the roof to the left of the corner, good jugs. 0.4 in the roof crack mid crux. Direct — crux — 0.4 is good pro, two might be good. left hand finger lock low, right hand finger lock, then bump the right hand pinky down to the top of the crack. Went right, shoulda gone right. Save a 2 for above the roof, 1 below the layback, 0.75 for the layback I wonder if a #5 would be easier to place below the roof? Perhaps not though

Diagon Alley
Apr 12, 2026 · TR. Enjoyed this one. The chimney moves were quite fun. Lots of spots where it feels very secure, but then it's not clear how to move up, so you just commit and it's fine. Next time I do this, use the bolts on the ledge below the upper ledge. We used the bolts above The Handle and used a #1 above the roof and a 0.3 with a long sling below the roof to redirect With Isiah

Jesus Made Waffles
Apr 12, 2026 · A neighboring climbing party (Jean and ?) loaned us their rope. Jacob and Isiah did Up the Slot. I did this, and then switch to UTS at the top bit
