Northwest Face Route - Thatchtop…
Nov 18, 2023 · 3 pitches. Lead / Onsight. Climbed with Cory today. Roped up 1st and 3rd pitch. Cory led 1st, I led 3rd. Descended into AMU rather than rappelling. We were 2nd group of day with a 530am start before a dozen other climbers trickled in behind us.

Black Lake - West Gully
Mar 18, 2023 · 2 pitches. Lead. Hike to Black Lake was straightforward. I booted and buddy skinned. Approach to West Gully was short and easy; we stayed right of the apron. I was sinking to about knee level in boots following tracks from another climber ahead of us. Cory led 1st pitch, I led 2nd, we TRed the 2nd a couple more times, then V-thread and rappelled to base. Yellow Tears and Stoneman are not in this year. Will add pics
