More Info

Been climbing on & off since 2011. Experienced mountaineer, canyoneer, and climber, fairly new to trad and ice but trying to put in the miles. I worked in rescue as a first responder and now work in healthcare. Happy to be in the mountains and on the rock, always up for an adventure! IG: @Awesomely_Humble

● White Maiden's Walkway
Jun 8, 2025 · Lead. Really fun route. Each pitch seemed to have a unique crux about it and unique belay stations. Note to self... do not wear soft shoes on crack routes! What a toe smasher. Also do not bring a giant backpack on the climb. Really got in the way of the climb and was totally unnecessary. Route finding wasn't too bad with the beta, but also was able to follow several parties. Overall cool climb. I did get sketched out by the really exposed corner roof jump. But I still did it (what choice did I have??) and it acually wasn't so bad. the holds and feet were all there and pretty decent
