Oct 5, 2025 · Flash. Joyful boulder, the feeling of an arete climb with all the security of a jug rail. Worth doing, regardless of how strong you are

● Environmental Impact
Jun 14, 2025 · 1 pitch. Lead / Fell/Hung. Mixed up the gear beta on this climb with another, popped out just before the decent holds on the right face. Definitely better if you have .075-1 sized hands (which I don’t, haha). Will have to come back and get it another time

● Scabies
May 18, 2025 · TR. Pretty techy for the grade (in the Red), particularly when it’s humid. Probably not a great first lead, but would make a great project for a newer climber

● Just Goosin’
Apr 13, 2025 · Lead / Onsight. The biner is gone from the quick link, at least as of 4/13/25. I agree that it might have been nicer if the route ended sooner. The move to the chains is pretty height dependent and much more difficult than any other move on the climb (I’m 5’6” with a +2), and I’d argue, harder than the grade of the climb suggests. The position of the chains also adds a ton of rope drag. Interesting/enjoyable climb, minus clipping the chains

● Whiteout Direct (aka Nerds)
Apr 12, 2025 · Lead / Onsight. Pretty interesting, the holds in the middle are a fun experience. A little cryptic beneath the second bolt, I went right, but people in my group went left; both seem to go just fine.
