● Pauper
Mar 22, 2025 · Lead. Headpoint. After we cleaned out the dirt and leaves from the available protection and sniffed out what pro was good and what was marginal we came back within the week and gave it a send rip. We warmed up on Cream which is wild X terrain and I didn’t refresh anything on Pauper. It felt like I had enough info and I don’t enjoy over-lapping a line. Went up the floors on Pauper and the roof with choss block felt weird so I downclimbed and got a better position. Glad I didn’t force bad footwork. In the next floor with the rounded bulge everything went fine and it’s my favorite part of the climb. Got in the proper crux and executed the only beta I know but added a wider stem than normal. Sent in the 1 PM sun which made it a little more interesting. Great route and R not X if you saddle up and don’t goof around. Big Pitch.

● Pauper
Mar 16, 2025 · TR. Flash. Cleaned out the dirt blocking many of the micro placements. Onsighting this when it hasn’t been climbed in years would be a little wild gardening trip. The funnel at the top will feed this line full of dirt if we don’t get it traffic. Anyhow great line and not X unless you go up there unprepared or naive. A couple PG13 spots and a couple short lived R positions. Dummy bomber stone except for one choss block that can be totally avoided and could totally kill your belayer or people on sea of screams. Love this line. Super tall. Don’t know exact height but > 40m by about 20-40’! Very enjoyable crux and the climb is nice and progressive as you gain height. Led out the top 40’ from our master point to top to end my day.

● Bourbon Street
Mar 16, 2025 · Follow. Follow clean. Did the low low start with rope slacked on the ground. Tobin longlined me all day lmao. Even with taut line I would have hit ground with rope stretch anyway from 145’. Classic terrain and well protected in Quartz terms until the exposed face variation which is weird and objectively R. A classic 5.8 canvas for the 5.10 climber to strut stuff.

● For A Rocker
Mar 14, 2025 · Lead / Onsight. I had done the direct start as a boulder bet before with Tiff but this time I went up the ramp. Found the entrance quite awkward for a warmup of the day and to be honest I had to bust a marginal 5.10 move just like Amazon Woman to get into the heart of the climb. Sure there may be a better way at 5.9 but I didn’t find it on my first climb of the day. Def PG13 or soft R. I had seen people start this climb but didn’t know about the awkward crux and the top exit so ticking an imperfect OS.

● Brother Gunk (Heaven Can Wait)
Mar 13, 2025 · Lead / Redpoint. Headpoint. Worked on TRS last week to find a beta that allowed gear placement but also would not create a pop off. Came back this week to Free it and had a great day with Toemater. Put down some pads but they weren’t enough to build out the landing but possibly keep the ankles from snapping. Slanted landing and spike rock make the landing zone from foot pops hard to manage. Used Jason Kehl net but it was clear that we would make contact with what was below but surely it would mitigate impact and potentionally keep you out of the creek. Fun wild time. Everything went fine on lead and placing gear even if it felt a little serious on the ledge lol. Critical placement went in fine but clipped it at B+ position so I didn’t fall. Botched upper sequence but made it through. Mostly psychological Pro except for the piece right before the chains. Crux piece should hold but never tested.

● Extended Altar Call
Mar 7, 2025 · Lead / Redpoint. Now with a mostly clean line I took off for 2nd go, committed to the crux and got into the corner system. Had the gear I needed on the wrong side but worked through it. Now onsighting the top half was wild. Very exposed and sneaky. You can’t really see what’s coming or the available holds. There’s a fixed nut with a German flag at a natural ledge you could build a good multipitch anchor at for practice, to enjoy the view, and rope drag management. The last 25’ is great and exposed too if you take the crack and still good climbing if you take the slab. Physical and heady for the grade. Hopefully people will get on it more now and we can keep it clean.
