● Stur Chimney
Sep 18, 2023 · Lead / Onsight. Really fun movements! Route still has a lot of gravel so not a great ideal to climb beneath another party. Cleaned up some tat from old rap anchor. Scramble the choss gully to the far right of the wall to gain a ledge. At this point we put climbing shoes on to do the traverse left over the base of the first pitch. I protected the belayer with an anchor here (think it was 0.2, 0.75 and 2). Top of the first (short) pitch is a horn with 3 webbing slings around it (which also serves as the 3rd rap station on the way down), webbing was in good shape and knots checked out. From the here the second pitch starts in the main chimney a short traverse to the left. One chockstone to clear in this section, fortunately can be protected well with an existing piton on your right as you make the move. Use the existing anchor (nut plus old pitons) in the alcove beneath the large chockstone. Third pitch has an old rusty bolt protecting the airy first move out of the alcove, I also threw in a 0.2 nearby. Nice two bolt anchor at the top of the third pitch (also serves as the first rap anchor), accessory cord here was in good shape. I cleaned up an old rap anchor nearby that had coreshotted cord. From here, you can solo to the summit if comfortable. I used a large block on the summit to provide a terrain belay up for my follower. For the descent, rap off the anchor at the top of the third pitch. Same thing again for the next two rappels (alcove piton anchor and slung horn with webbing). The final rap is a tree anchor down and lookers left of the base of the first pitch (on the same ledge system). All webbing + anchor materials appeared to be in good shape when we climbed, although if climbing at a later date consider bring some spare material just in case. The occasion pitons along the route also seemed bomber, the old rusty bolt protecting the beginning of the 3rd pitch can be supplemented with a 0.2 easily.

● Colossus
Sep 18, 2023 · Lead / Fell/Hung. An epic City sport climb. Crazy exposure swinging out of the hueco and into the mantle move at the top. Take your time on the first 2 bolts as the moves are thin + balancey and hard to protect from decking, consider stick clipping.

● Wheat Thin
May 14, 2023 · Lead / Onsight. Amazing route with awesome layback moves. Bring some #4s to protect the top slab moves after the crux and save #2s and #3s for building an anchor at the top

May 13, 2023 · Lead / Onsight. Need an 80m if you're gonna TR or lower climbers (still tie knot in the end). First moves off the ground can feel harder for shorter climbers
