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

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 15, 2026 · Lead / Fell/Hung. Fell/hung a few times transitioning into the 5s and up the overhanging 5s. Hand fist stack started feeling baggy higher up and used LH arm bar + RH gaston instead (felt more strenuous). Learn how to fist-fist stack and use a RF heel toe instead of smearing on the face next time.

Jul 14, 2026 · Lead / Onsight. Start underclings/jug are really bomber. Crack takes good gear from black totem to 1 (with options for smaller cams and nuts). Look for good face feet. Use the foot ledge on the left when it gets very thin.

Jul 12, 2026 · Lead / Onsight. Led all pitches except the Acrophobes Traverse. Linked P1+2 (slab), P4+5, P6+7. Super fun day, had the route pretty much to ourselves since the bottom pitches were slightly damp. I thought the crux was P1 (friction part was damp and I hate slab). Traversing to the finger crack corner on P6 felt a little heady on lead. Doubles .2-2 + single 3 felt sufficient. Roughly ~9 hours on route at a relaxed pace.

May 9, 2026 · Lead / Onsight. Started climbing ~6:30 AM. Led P1/2 (soloed up to old bolts), P4/5, 100 ft of P7 (to just past roof), P8, P9. Finished P5 ~8:45 AM and P8 ~1:30 PM. Somehow took 5 hours on the last 3 pitches. Took a scary 30 ft fall building the anchor above the P7 roof due to a jug that flexed backwards. #5 was useful to have, bring more slings next time. Felt like I did multiple 5.10 moves at various points but maybe I wasn't climbing optimally.

Felt shockingly chill and secure throughout. .75 totem protects the crux of the P2 traverse well (use a RH crimp and LH undercling) and the rest is juggy. Didn't place more than singles but doubles .4-1 could be useful. Bring more slings next time.

Mar 29, 2026 · Lead / Redpoint. Forgot all my beta since it's been so many years. Not thin hands lol if my tiny hands don't fit. Milk the stem rest with the good RF knob and smeary LF. I thought the crux was pulling over the bulge on thin fingers and bad feet. Takes many .5 and .75 in the corner, .3 for bulge move, hand sizes above.
