Sonja
Jun 20, 2026 · TR. Finally! Followed Matt. Many falls. This thing is tough and exhausting. If I were to ever lead it, I’d need to really have it dialed. The jams themselves weren’t horrible; mostly paddle hands plus a few ring/finger locks. For the finish I did not use crack technique

Land of The Giants
Jun 20, 2026 · Lead / Onsight. Hooray! This is an excellent climb. I do wish I’d brought WAY more finger sized gear (0.2-0.4). Definitely triples, maybe quadruples? Was quite happy to have my offsets. Steep jugs, but pretty well protected once you get up there #4 for the upwards flake at the Gelsa start would be nice. #3 works but is tipped With Matt

Loose Goose
Jun 20, 2026 · Lead / Onsight. “One of the loosest gooses I’ve ever goosed” - Matt First pitch is quite nice. Interesting crack climbing, well protected Second pitch is dirty with an oddly difficult roof Third pitch is less dirty, but quite loose, hard to follow, and a little runout Really quite the adventure

Beginner's Delight
May 31, 2026 · With Annina on her second gunks lead. I lead P2, she lead P1. Annina forgot slings, oops! Hella rope drag apparently. I brought up the #4 but you really don’t need it. Leave it behind I guess?

Strictly From Nowhere
May 31, 2026 · 1 pitch. Lead / Redpoint. 0.1 is helpful at the start after the bulge The first half of this was quite spooky. Not a ton of pro to be had and lots of ledges to hit. Nothing hard, just not a ton of pro. Below the roof above the ledge, it’s easy to get sucked into the right facing corner, but the face right below the roof is much better With Nima. My 0.3 at the crux got stuck; a nice guy from the next party freed it. Thanks!

Madame Grunnebaum's Wulst
May 31, 2026 · Lead / Redpoint. With Nima. A fun lead! There’s generally G pro everywhere, except the last pitch. There was one spot where you get a #2, then you gotta pull a bulge on less-than-ideal holds before reaching a hands free stance with gear. But the fall looks totally clean
