5.8 5b 16 VI- 15 HVS 4c 208 ● Chicken Bone Mar 22, 2025 · Lead. Continues to be one of the best 5.8s I’ve done, maybe my favorite route at the crag. Consistent, quality 5.8 movement in varied styles with huge exposure. Bolting is exciting and falls are safe but might not be best first 5.8 lead Trad, Sport, TR 3. Piedmont Region > Pilot Mountain > 14. Parking Lot
5.10c 6b 20 VII 20 E2 5b 37 ● Too Old to Rock and Roll Mar 22, 2025 · Lead / Redpoint. Sport 3. Piedmont Region > Pilot Mountain > 08. Amphitheater
5.8 5b 16 VI- 15 HVS 4c 40 ● Walk the Plank Mar 22, 2025 · Lead / Onsight. Very fun route. Improbable roof moves at 5.8 are exciting and fun. After that crux, climb is a fun cruise to the anchors. Not a great route for top roping bc of how it wanders, roof pull can be a bad tr fall Sport 3. Piedmont Region > Pilot Mountain > 13. Ground Up aka Big…
5.11a 6c 22 VII+ 22 E3 5c 26 ● Fat Boy 5.11 Mar 22, 2025 · Lead / Fell/Hung. Blew onsight at top for fat whip. Belayer should wear helmet in case they’re pulled into the roof on a big fall. You can follow holds to the left which is a little easier but not as good climbing. Going straight up through the little crystal pocket and roof is the most fun and keeps it on grade imo Sport, TR 3. Piedmont Region > Pilot Mountain > 14. Parking Lot
5.11a 6c 22 VII+ 22 E3 5c 35 ● Butterfingers Feb 22, 2025 · Lead / Fell/Hung. Fingers completely numb on thin crux. Beginning powerful but felt very ‘gym’ with big moves on big holds. Figuring out the myriad of possible slimpers to grab after 2nd finger rather tricky Sport 3. Piedmont Region > Pilot Mountain > 12. Big Arete
5.10c 6b 20 VII 20 E2 5b 37 ● Too Old to Rock and Roll Feb 22, 2025 · Lead / Redpoint. Really fun route, chill 5.7 climbing to a quality V1-V2ish compression boulder problem? Very cool movement on the boulder, hard to onsight. Sport 3. Piedmont Region > Pilot Mountain > 08. Amphitheater
