● Standard Route
Mar 11, 2026 · Follow. w/ Denver. Steep hiking with occasional 4th / low fifth class made safe with fixed ropes, which are especially helpful on the way down. Lots of wet dirt / leaves / rock which would make a truly free ascent more sketchy than seemed necessary, so I used the ropes.

● The Spring-Winter
Nov 8, 2025 · 1 pitch. Lead / Fell/Hung. Unsent this crux in the most spectacular fashion, 15' groundfall. Feet on the first good rail, piece came under tension but went AWOL. CT scan neg!

● Easy Street
Oct 31, 2025 · 3 pitches. Lead / Redpoint. Led pitch 1 this time. Really cool corner but it encourages runout. Easy climbing though, went slow. Jesse led P2 to the rap tree. I did a short pitch to the top crossing into Wrist (flake finish).
