● Bombs over Tokyo (1st pitch)
Aug 9, 2026 · Lead / Flash. Super fun with a fairly short crux section (10-15 ft). Keep both feet in crack until it tightens to a layback. Crux is powering through the thin section and then getting feet on the knobs left of the crack (greasy). Gear: black totem, .4, 1, .5, 3 (roof), .75, .5, .4, .3, black totem x 2, .3

● West Pillar Direct
Aug 8, 2026 · Lead / Onsight. Led all pitches. Crux was P1 "5.8 flare" to me (right side in, reach deep for baggy hand jams). Bypassed the 5.9 OW by using face holds. P3 10b section has bomber finger locks into good jugs and felt pretty chill. P5 rib wrestling felt very awkward and hard with less-than-ideal pro. Didn't find a spot to place the #5. #4 is probably not necessary but was able to find spots to place it.

Jul 17, 2026 · Lead / Onsight. Different style and looks harder than it is (very juggy). Not PG13, protects very well. Gear: 1, .75 totem (behind flake), .75 (extended), 3 (extended), .5, 1
