Where's The Beef
Oct 2, 2023 · Lead / Fell/Hung. Fell at the off-width at the top, had an arm bar in the crack, couldn’t figure out how to get up to the ledge/jug on the left about 1 foot out of reach. Found an awesome move by ditching the crack early and moved to the left. Left hand undercling by my waist, right hand crossover to the jug. Otherwise fun clean climb.

Charlee And The Stick Factory
Sep 9, 2023 · TR. Hardest part was the very beginning. Finally got it after receiving lots of beta, but fell three times and hurt my foot on a boulder. I’m fine, but I think a boulder pad would be good if this is above your grade. Outstanding and powerful with heel hooks, crimps, pinches, and some glorious jugs. Felt like indoor climbing. First 11a I got to the to of, probably four falls though.

Sep 9, 2023 · TR. Last climb of day, was stoked to get this clean on top rope. I have no clue how I did the crux. Our whole group did it differently, but I know my left middle finger is hurting today - but so worth it! Fantastic climb that kept me super focused on body position and foot placement.

Sep 9, 2023 · Lead / Onsight. Hardest lead I’ve ever done. Studied roof several minutes before finding a good shallow side pull just right of center, and then found a high heel hook for my left foot, to reach up and get to the amazing jug on the top. Slab was scarier than the ledge, but well bolted. Thought foot was gonna slip on slab as I reached high, but held. Great route.

But a couple strong looking climbers got stuck on lead. Maybe some side pulls or high feet help create friction on the glossiest parts.

Inched past it, wearing myself out quite a bit. The top portion was scary but doable with good technique, and although I took at the second to last bolt, I was able to make it to the crux move and beyond it without needing to take. Felt like a hard 10a.
