Knife Edge Ridge
Sep 20, 2025 · Lead / Onsight. Climbed this with Grey. It was a beautiful day to be up high. Brought a light rack of cams 1-.3, set of nuts, and some soft goods. We climbed thru the W in 3 pitches with a 45-50m rope. A full 60 would get you thru the tech section in 2 pitches. When soloing this route remember to hang low around the 1st part of W instead of doing the jump across. There is a ledge to the left side. The descent was a bit of a slog. 2 true raps on fixed lines that arnt dated but were in good enough condition. We hugged the base of shield and encountered 2 other fixed lines which aided in exposed traversing sections. I had already packed my harness so I treated these as hand lines which worked out fine.

Hurts So Good
Aug 30, 2025 · Lead / Fell/Hung. Start is basically a muscle up. First crux stay right of bolt line and the holds are there. Just gotta sus it out. At the top I hung right and worked up the arete instead of pulling on the pebble crimps

Girly Man
Aug 30, 2025 · Lead / Fell/Hung. Mistook this for the 10 to the right. The start is cruxy then eases into some 5.8ish climbing until the roof. The roof is hard and that’s as far as I got

Holy War
Aug 29, 2025 · Lead / Fell/Hung. Took one time between 4-5 bolt. Very fun/ thought provoking route. Movement isn’t super straight forward but holds and feet are there. Utilize the rests when you get to them.

Koven Route
Aug 7, 2025 · Solo. Loved this route. Basically chimney climbing to the summit. Amazing how the summit is only gained via what I call the birth canal. It’s like it’s guarded and only good route finding lets you in.
