● Blotto AKA Axis
Jan 24, 2026 · TR. TR clean after Pat led. Great climb. Pumpy by the end but there are good hand jams almost the entire way. Would be a bit harder to lead because in many places the easiest way up is to lie back.

● New Dimensions
Jan 24, 2026 · TR. TRS on the fixed line. I think last time I didn’t go all the way to the top because I didn’t remember the top part. Semi weighted the rope earlier but only really fell like 20ft from the top, I was too pumped.

● Midterm
Jan 24, 2026 · TR. Top rope after Jake/Pat put it up. Great climb, got it clean and I feel I could definitely lead this. The bottom is definitely the technical crux and would be quite difficult to lead but takes good gear. I didn’t have a problem getting established in the off with, lost steam a little bit but it feels really secure once you’re in.

● Salathe (pitch 1)
Jan 11, 2026 · Lead. With Dre. Double rack with extra .4-.75. Might do an extra .3 and black totem next time to feel extra secure. I spent too long in the right crack that it was hard to transition to the left, better to switch sooner. Didn’t place any gear in the bottom hand rack section and it was fine
