El Sendero Diablo (The Devil's P…
Dec 13, 2023 · Lead / Onsight. Was worried that the route would either be polished or not live up to the hype, but it was classic good times! The 11c was a stiff warmup, but the great climbing made up for it. Climb it early in the shade, and before the hordes of people arrive! Took a few tries to be first in line, but definitely worth the effort.

Time Wave Zero
Nov 14, 2023 · Lead / Fell/Hung. Climbed it in 11 pitches with some simuling on an 80m with one micro traxion. Onsight, minus two hangs on the crux pitch. Very fun route, 5 hrs to summit (worth scrambling up there!), less than 2 hours to rappel. Passed many parties in both directions.

Shelter from the Storm
Sep 3, 2023 · 1 pitch. Lead / Onsight. Great climb, ended at first chains (where route changes from glue-ins to sleeve bolts). Was able to clip the second bolt with a stick clip hanging from the first bolt to avoid the gear placement (didn’t bring gear). It was sprinkling rain while we climbed it, we did in fact get shelter from the storm!

Mile High Club
Aug 5, 2023 · 2 pitches. Lead / Onsight. 1:15 on route, FKT? Simul 1-6, pitched out 7. Worked well placing minimal pro, but loose rock gave it some spice. A very casual 7hr C2C, including lunch and a river swim.

Traumpfeiler (Pillar of Dreams)
Mar 14, 2023 · 4 pitches. Lead / Onsight. 1:30 on route, 2:42 car to car. First route here, arrived in the evening right before a rain storm the following day, figured we could sneak in a classic. Good route, lots of fun! Terrific summit. A few medium cams and long slings were nice. Used an 80m to link route into 4 pitches.

Bonum de Carnival
Jan 12, 2023 · Lead / Onsight. I enjoyed the climbing, the choss adds flavor to the route. Climb delicately to avoid dislodging rocks or dragging your belayer into the cactus at the base. If you top out there is a lot of loose rock at the summit (which needs to be downclimbed).
