Ecstasy Junior
Oct 17, 2025 · 1 pitch. Lead / Flash. Scrambled up the gully and started at the ledge. The traverse was a little balancey but not as scary as I feared. Placed a bomber purple beforehand and great placements in the vertical crack. Great climbing, but got kinda scared near the top at the wider part of the crack. Tree with rings for the anchor, and brought Papa up. Multipitch transition felt very smooth. Tried to continue on the second pitch but felt mentally drained and dehydrated. Attempted a few tries but ended up coming down instead. Long rap, used the full 70m rope. Learned to fuel up properly and take water, made the right choice not continuing on. Still an amazing first pitch and really glad to end the trip with a great climb.

Le Gourmet
Oct 17, 2025 · 1 pitch. Lead / Flash. Climbed the first pitch of this, one of the best climbs I have trad led yet! Super fun moves, variety of holds, and bomber placements. Decided to climb around the bulge instead of closer to the crack at the top of the pitch. Made it kinda runout but I couldn't resist the jugs and bit of exposure. Waited for my turn at the anchor, then belayed Papa up. Would definitely love to come back and do the whole thing one day, really fun climb.

Banana
Oct 17, 2025 · Lead / Fell/Hung. Climbed partway until the large hollow flakes. Really fun climbing up until then, but hands were very cold and sorta numb. Pulled on a flake without an X and felt it pull away from the wall - super scary! Tried to go around but everything felt loose. Down climbed and cleaned instead to be safe, pretty disappointing though since it seems like a fun route.

Ecstasy Junior
Oct 16, 2025 · 1 pitch. Lead. Only led the first scramble up the ramp, took tons of pro though (including a black totem) and would be a great place to teach a new leader. Long enough to be fun, with a great belay seat at the top. Brought both Mama and Papa up, and rapped off the tree. Would have continued up but it was getting late, definitely worth coming back to though.

Two Iron Shot
Oct 16, 2025 · Lead / Flash. Crazy bushwhacking to get to the base of the climb. Didn't take pro amazingly well, but good enough. Climbing was a little awkward, but plenty of holds. Got to place both #3s which was exciting. Belayed leaning over the edge like at Otter, and walked off.

Old Man's Route
Oct 16, 2025 · 4 pitches. Lead / Flash. I brought Papa up his first multi pitch! And it was my first multi pitch leading the entire climb! Super stoked to get to climb this, even though the moves were super easy. More like a scramble trek adventuring across the cliff. Built a tree anchor at pitch 1, a sick trad quad for pitch 2, another tree for pitch 3, and a crafty rope anchor for pitch 4. Beautiful weather, amazing rock, and a great opportunity to practice multi pitch skills. Scrambled up to the summit and touched the very tip of the cliff. Rapped down in two rappels, giving a fireman's to Papa. Our 70m only just reached the ground for the last rap. What an adventure! So grateful for the trust to lead this route.
