● Freeway
Jun 2, 2025 · Solo. 3 Laps of Freeway = much fun. Put on approach shoes for laps 2 and 3 and took the right variation at the start (a fair bit easier). 18:45 for the second lap.

● Little John, Left
May 25, 2025 · Lead. W/ lecheng. He started the lead then bailed. I yoyo’ed and started leading at the offwidth. Fun! Polished! Offwidth section was maybe a little stout for 5.8 but super fun. I think I butterflied my way up the whole thing.

● Selaginella
May 24, 2025 · Lead / Onsight. With lecheng. Linked with Commitment. I led P1, P3, P4. First pitch was really fun, third pitch awkward chimney and traverse was fun too. I was pleasantly surprised by the fun wide sections. Minimal scrambling/bushwhacking/5easy which was nice for a route of this grade. Perhaps not the best route to bring someone with little/no experience with wide cracks though. Doubles to 3 and a single 4 was fine.

Apr 24, 2025 · Lead / Onsight. w/ caroline, more fun than Routes 7 and 8, perhaps because of the crack moves. 4 pieces, nothing bigger than a #2 needed.
