Pancake Flake
Sep 20, 2024 · Lead / Fell/Hung. Disappointed to fall at the start of the lieback. Got back on and felt good. this thing will take 2x(2"-4") but i mostly bumped pieces, particularly the #3. I started in the offwidth behind the flake.

Silent Runner
Sep 20, 2024 · 2 pitches. Follow. Very fun route - I enjoyed breaking it up into 2 pitches. Patrick lead P1. I led P2. Fell at crux on P2. I only felt there were two cruxes, not three. One down low on P1. Then the overhang on p2.

Trivial Pursuit
Aug 12, 2024 · Lead / Fell/Hung. crux is pretty sequence-specific. Upper Roof is very very fun. Bring a #5 if you are going to the alcove (left). Not sure about gear or beta if you choose to go right instead.

Cashmere
Aug 10, 2024 · Lead / Flash. Super fun roof. I protected the roof move with a #1 high b/w the first flake/jug and the main roof. My partner did not appreciate this as the flake sounded hollow/thin - I thought it sounded more thin than hollow. Given that the jug was ont he end of the flake and the cam placement was closer to the wall, I figured the moment applied by climbing/pulling on the flake would be more than the force of the fall on the cam. Moment = force x distance. But who knows..
