Dec 22, 2024 Southeast Utah > Indian Creek > Reservoir Wall > Overlook (5.11+ 7a 24 VIII 24 E4 6a) The somewhat manky anchor at the top of Pitch 2. ● "Somewhat" manky?! That thing is terrifying! View Comment
Nov 13, 2024 Southwest Utah > Saint George > Prophesy Wall Beautiful area ● That looks like it'd be a nasty swing if the climber fell! View Comment
Oct 15, 2024 W Idaho > Black Cliffs > Short Cliffs Bologna Pony 5.10d ● @Camdon, if bolts have been added, they were added a long time ago. The route has been bolted in its curr… View Comment

Oct 23, 2023 Central Utah > Joe's Valley > Left Fork > Mine Cart Area > Streaked (V7 7A+) Any idea what this climb is? Please respond in comments. Thanks! ● The Kaya guide for Joe's Valley calls the problem in this picture "Sharp Shooter" and it puts the grade at… View Comment
