Mar 14, 2026 · 11 pitches. Lead. In a day with Pat. About 14 hours c2c. Left car about 7am and got back about 9pm. I led 1-3 and 7-8. Some trickier aid spots but overall felt fine, just a little slower than I’d have liked. We used the tag line and mostly short fixed which helped. I split the pitch before tapir terrace into two to avoid rope drag which I think was a good idea as the drag was already bad just getting to the ledge after that. Did the sketchy part of the descent in twilight just before we had to turn on headlamps. Gear: triples to 0.75, doubles to 3 and a 4. Pat said he might have wanted a 5 for the second to last pitch though I didn’t use the 4 for anything I led.

Feb 7, 2026 · 10 pitches. Lead. With pat. I led 1-3 and 7-8. Minimal aid except on 7 which was all aid (make sure to conserve gear on bottom, I had to get lowered to back lean, top could be freed but need to wear free shoes). Als on P2 stay left to keep on easier section, I went left and had to aid a few moves. Great route. Tough to follow Kor roof with heavy pack. Something like 11 hours c2c. We did the walk off which wasn’t bad. Pat linked 9-10

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.

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.

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.

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

Dec 13, 2025 · Attempted another lead on this. I got maybe half or a third of the way up and bailed—too hot, didn’t really want it badly enough, and time was getting short. But I did a TR lap after and didn’t fall! It was strenuous but felt doable. I think on the lead I wasted too much energy in the lower part dragging all those cams up there and didn’t have enough left for the actual OW. Next time, 1) bring a second rope and tag up the big cams, and 2) instead of trying to clip the rope to gear above me attach myself with a sling and bump the cam up that way. The hardest part is the 4/5 section, it actually gets a lot easier above that once you can get your knee in. I also found the very top moved to be kind of hard. Bring the 8,7, 2x6, 2x5, 3x4, and doubles 2 and 3 and a 1 or .75 and plenty of slings

Nov 27, 2025 · Lead / Fell/Hung. Thought I was agreeing to TR this and ended up leading it. Literally took on every bolt. Everything felt doable with more endurance, but I was getting pumped out immediately. Took a big ride after falling just short of the chains (extra big because I pulled Shu Yuan up a ways). Would love to try again if I’m able to do some overhung training

Nov 26, 2025 · Lead. With Pat and Maggie. We planned to do Myster Z but it was crowded so we got on this instead. Overall, I really enjoyed this climb, but it was pretty serious even though it was easy—it felt like I was in the no fall zone for large parts of the climb. P1: I went all the way to the sling boulder below the roof, 70m needed and tons of rope drag—would have been better to stop at bolted anchors probably. P2: I took tunnel option and it was really cool, went up until rope drag got really bad, made a belay about 50ft below where the crack peters out. P3: got a few pieces in before the traverse, wouldn’t have been a bad idea to build belay at the start of the traverse, there was a pretty obvious ledge to step across. It felt pretty secure but a long ways with no gear. Built anchor at the end of the traverse because of rope drag. P4: not much pro but felt chill compared to earlier parts, P5 Maggie led up to the top as it got more slabby. Would be a terrible route if you were new to leading the grade

Nov 11, 2025 · Lead. Led with Maggie and Andrew. Maggie gave me a hard time for going left near the top to avoid the finger lock move but I went that way on the second lap—makes it a bit harder, but the bets for me was to reach high to the lock and get the right foot on the good knob

Nov 11, 2025 · Lead / Redpoint. With Maggie and Andrew. Finally got this one! 3rd 10d of the season. As with serenity a couple of days ago, I did a good job of finding a good lock or jam, moving up on it, and placing gear near my waist rather than trying to place too much gear and be on top rope all the time—the rope can really get in the way on this one if you don’t place gear well

Nov 9, 2025 · Follow. With Maggie. She led after bailing on serenity and got some redemption. The crux is thin, and the thin part goes on a long way. She placed like 4 nuts after blowing all the small cans down low. Crux felt like a bit like a shorter, easier version of the serenity crux pitch.

Nov 9, 2025 · Lead. With Maggie. Amazing route!
P1: I felt ok on this, though apparently Maggie was getting nervous for me because my leg was shaking at one point. But I think it was more about the foot pain than anything else, I never felt like I was about to fall. I placed a bad .75 totem near the bottom, probably not really worth placing and it blocked a foot jam anyways. Definitely heads up but the feet are so good that it feels doable, I got some .5, .75, and 1 totems in at 20ish ft and then knew I was gonna be ok
P2: Maggie backed off the crux, which is a traverse right between two cracks. We switched rope ends and I finished it. Being tall helped as usual, just need to get left foot on the good foothold and reach over
P3: first onsite of a 10d! (Asterisk: I accidentally stepped on a bolt on the way up, but I am still counting it because I don’t care). Great pitch. At the stance below the crux I placed a .3 high, then only placed a black and blue totem until the anchor. Was able to find really good fingers almost the whole way. I did a good job just trusting the locks and my gear, and climbing above it and placing at my waist instead of trying to place too many pieces too high.
We planned to do sons of yesterday as well but Maggie wasn’t feeling it so we rapped. We raped the route with an 80m, a 70 would be too short for the last rappel
