Ode to the Quitter
Apr 5, 2026 · Lead / Redpoint. This sucker is hard! The right hand crimp in the crux has been broken and, while not significant, does feel worse than I remember. Regardless of that, I do believe it’s as hard as La Familia, if not more so for me. I waited a few days to think about this and tick it, I think a personal grade of 12c is fair. Not very much fun compared to the other 12s on the crime wall. But it was my last to tick here and I’m glad I did it!

The Dungeon
Mar 29, 2026 · First V8! Made even better by sending it in a single session!! I think the first move was the most difficult part, which was frustrating. The rest came together quickly. It’s a 2 star climb, +1 for excitement. With PeyPey and Dylan B

The Journey
Mar 27, 2026 · Lead / Redpoint. Sent in the least ideal conditions of any previous attempts, really happy to get this done! Starting to feel like I’m getting back to where I used to be pre-injury :). This is super fun! I thoroughly enjoyed the uniqueness of the middle crux(s) but the pump up top held the key to the gates for a while. Naturally, I walked it today on the warmup lol.

Feb 21, 2026 · Lead / Redpoint. 2nd go. I opted out of doing the dyno by bumping up the side rail. It was ok, fun movement. One mover, hard to love.

Druelin' Banjos
Feb 20, 2026 · Lead / Redpoint. Felt so chill today. Chill enough for me to run it twice. Redpointed, then redpointed again! 11b or c to a maybe v4. If it was a boulder on its own, you’d walk it. Just low-ish percentage. Easy money when you dial it.
