Diedre
Jul 4, 2026 · Lead / Fell/Hung. Swung leads with Chris! Generally PG. First pitch is PG13 but easy. The #0.0 green BD was actually clutch, could have used two #0.1s as well but made do with two #0.1/#0.2s. One #3 was nice, and the to #4s were dead weight. Since all the anchors are bolted it could have been nice to rap the route by CARRYING THE LIGHT 6mm edelrid rap protect line. 2nd biggest trad whip, and 2nd multi pitch trad fall.

Star Chek
Jul 4, 2026 · Lead / Onsight. If climbing in 3 have the leader tie in on the middle of a 60 or 70m rope, and the followers tie in on the ends. Bring a microtraxion in addition to neox and simul belay instead of simul follow (though this is also reasonable if a little slower since the 3rd has to wait until the 2nd gets to the anchor). Swung leads with Todd, and Chris! Chilling climb super easy and very scenic.
