High Exposure
Oct 6, 2024 · Lead. w/teddy! i wound up with wicked rope drag on p1. next time EXTEND THE FIXED GEAR!!! also was running out of gear by the end of it which made it pretty spicy. teddy backed off p2, couldn't figure out the move, and this was just after eli's accident so wasn't feeling it. i led p2 and it was great! much shorter than i remembered.

Blueberry Ledges
Jul 28, 2024 · Lead / Onsight. loved this route! teddy lead p1 and it was really fun to follow, seems like it would have been a great lead. gear seemed sparse but adequate. p2 & p3 linked really nicely with a 60m. i can see how pitching out 2 & 3 separately might be underwhelming, but linking them made for a really nice flowy, interesting pitch!

Limelight
Jul 28, 2024 · Lead / Onsight. teddy led p1, it was an amazing pitch, seemed like would’ve been a beautiful pitch to lead. teddy placed the most beautiful pink tricam i've seen to mitigate the first runout. i led p2 and was swearing loudly the entire way through the the crux. teddy used a lot of gear in the p1 anchor and i dispatched two small pieces off the bat on p2 so i was really heading into the fingertip crack with very little gear to protect it which i was not happy about. wish id thought that through a bit more in advance! i’d say gear was just adequate in p2. i had a pretty big runout up until the crux, but i went left instead of following the corner. i think the runout might’ve been able to been mitigated a bit by staying right into the corner. either way, very heady climb! this was my first 5.7 at the gunks and it felt like a real step up from the 5.6’s
