Flower of High Rank
Apr 4, 2026 · Follow. well. you were right. harder, steeper, and scarier than I imagined. *actually ended up having a lot of fun switching to aid climbing under the roof section. but i was definitely so gassed and pretty scared. very happy to top this out after nearly 90 minutes...

Black Magic Poodle
Jun 1, 2025 · TR. Ugh, still blown out from the Henhouse on Saturday - and also not enough food. Funny how unprepared (physically, nutritionally) I was for the second half of this trip. Brushed it off, come back next time! Very cool route though!

Coyotes in the Henhouse
May 31, 2025 · TR. Amazing line, no doubt. BUT I need redemption. Blew out my fingertips trying the crux-start like 12 times, it was out of my league that day. Got to the top but it was miserable because I was too tired (whimper & tears). GO BACK FOR THIS WHEN YOU AREN'T A LIL BITCH!

French Quartered
May 31, 2025 · TR. This one annoyed me honestly. Too many awkward moves that did not feel like 5.7 fun. Agreed it's a little contrived.
