Towering Inferno
May 30, 2016 · 1 pitch. Absolutely amazing. I led pitch 2. That first overhung was pretty intense. I missed the bigger hold right above the right hand crimp near 1st roof. 11b section further up was damn near impossible. What is the beta at the 2-3 bolt?

Heart of the Sun
May 30, 2016 · Someone ran off with my yellow grigri and magneto carabiner after i let them borrow my top rope setup. I was up on another pitch and found out later when it was missing. Please pm me if you were in the party involved. I'm sure it was an accidental mistake

May 28, 2016 · Lead / Onsight. Start harder than 5.9 due to slickness of rock I think.
