● The Peacemaker
Jan 17, 2026 · 6 pitches. Follow. Very sustained smearing with feet and micro crimps for hands with interspersed jugs. Sat on the rope a couple times to catch my breath and admittedly aided through a couple short sections. Hunter A. led and I followed, was pretty stiff/heady and would've been a tough lead for me. For the rack, would recommend micros to 2, we didn't use more than that. Car-to-car, 10 hours and 40 minutes. Cool climb with great exposure, probably will not do again. FYI, P7 was only 1 bolt then scrambling so we linked 6-7 with a 70m. Bring a headlamp for the descent

● Ussen
Jan 12, 2025 · Lead. Led pitches 2, 4, 5, Hunter led the rest. Spicy moves on pitch three at the crux with spicier moves on the last pitch, and more height would be helpful. Last pitch is a bit overhung with okay feet at the crux. A few glory jugs, but the mantle on the last pitch is pretty friggin awkward and I imagine would feel unstable on lead. Would have appreciated a single rack up to maybe #1 for some of those run outs, but we finished with just a sport rack. Stellar rock quality, gritty dacite rock makes for good friction overall. I used plenty presents of jams on this, so crack gloves were helpful to avoid cheese grating my hands. Regarding the road for the bottom approach, it was definitely rutted out in sections, passable with the Subaru outback (8.5" clearance) with all-terrain tires. Careful driving and maintaining momentum on the uphill made the drive work. Downhill seemed pretty easy. Hiking trail was hard to find on the initial approach, but much more obvious on the descent and marked with multiple cairns. Rappel is off Climber left as you approach the summit, was super long, slightly complicated by Hunter overrapping the midpoint anchor. It is possible to descend in two very long rappels with a 70 m rope; make sure knots are tied especially on the second rap (we had inches to spare). First rappel station after the summit is on a large ledge and there are actually two sets of bolted anchors about 10 feet apart from each other, both seem to be appropriate for the rap. In total, it took between 7 to 8 hours car to car. Probably would've been faster if we approached on the correct trail, but it was still a long day

Dec 15, 2024 · Lead. Led not knowing which route this was and sat on draws twice, but no falls. Stick clipped the 3rd draw for safety. Right wrist was hurting from recent snowboarding injury. Not bad holds, but gotta find them. Unfortunate name

Dec 14, 2024 · Lead / Onsight. Took a lot of smaller gear, would have used micros if we had them with us. Very fun with a lot of fun finger crack and good feet. Brought doubles from 0.4-2 and a set of stoppers, used 1 stopper en route
