5.10- 6a 18 VI+ 18 E1 5a 14 ● Rocky Road Nov 7, 2025 · TR. Tough crux. had to pull on gear. The rest was much easier. Crux is well protected. Trad Southern Nevada > … 1 > Red Spring > Red Springs Rock
5.10- 6a 18 VI+ 18 E1 5a 533 ● Cocopuss Nov 7, 2025 · TR. followed cleanly. would be a good lead. Sport Southern Nevada > … 1 > Red Spring > Coco Crag
5.8- 5b 16 VI- 14 VS 4c 189 ● Schaeffer's Delight Nov 6, 2025 · Lead. Climbed with Kevin. I led all pitches first pitch is a beautiful face / sport climb with bolts and rings. Second pitch starts out with thin holds to a bolt. Then easy climbing up a slab and low angle corner. This pitch is hard to protect. 3rd pitch continues up and right to get on top of a ledge. Go left to a corner and do a few 5.8 moves to top out. Crux protects with a small gold offset but then a .4 totem. Walk left for a dusty chossy and blocky descent. May be a better walkoff if you do the 4th pitch. Trad 3 pitches Southern Nevada > … 1 > Whiskey Peak > Whiskey Peak - East
5.8 5b 16 VI- 15 HVS 4c 1,529 ● Frogland Nov 6, 2025 · 1 pitch. Lead. Climbed the first pitch with Kevin. Bailed there because of slower parties ahead. Carabiner block on a 60m with two cordalettes just reached. Trad 6 pitches Southern Nevada > … 1 > Whiskey Peak > N Face
5.8 5b 16 VI- 15 HVS 4c 185 ● Cold September Corner Nov 5, 2025 · Follow. Climbed with Kevin. I followed. The crux roof should be done as a chimney with back on the right. Chimney out from the wall, find a jug for the left hand in front of you then spin around and find a right foot to span the gap. Some more interesting spanning above the crux. Hard for 5.8 but would lead. Trad Southern Nevada > … > Icebox Canyon > Sunnyside Crags
5.10 6b 20 VII- 19 E2 5b 174 ● La Cierta Edad Nov 5, 2025 · Lead / Onsight. Climbed with Kevin. I led P1 and P5. P1 was balancy slab climbing and slightly run out. P2 starts with a wide chimney with a high first bolt then some exciting face climbing. P3 is offwidth then spanning a wide chimney. Would be hard for short people. P4 has a hard offwidth then 5.8 climbing. I fell on TR on the OW. P5 is short and 5.8. We did the single 70m rope rap with goes hard right. Traversing raps kind of sucked and two of the stations were built of tat. If doing again I would probably take two ropes to do the other rap Trad 5 pitches Southern Nevada > … > Icebox Canyon > Refrigerator Wall
