● Where Lizards Dare
Mar 23, 2025 · Lead / Onsight. Forgot to bring up the small cams on this like a dumbass who’s been bed bound for the last 5 days with a viral infection. Sent, but damn… was starting to have my doubts while cruxed out screwing with a nut feeling tachycardic and imagining rock dust and the prospect of suddenly whipping out of sight. Not well greased, mentally. Can’t wait to be done with RT school so Incan enjoy this stuff with my lovely wife again.

● Goodstone
Oct 28, 2024 · Lead / Onsight. Felt like I was sewing it up through the fingers crux but seemed kinda necessary to protect a potential jammed ankle. A number2 or 3 would be ideal for minimizing runout potential on upper 3rd, though I kept it reasonable with a couple 1's. I picked went left at the top, which made more sense to me than continuing up the crumbly looking seam. Didn't realize going up the seam was an option since I didn't check MP beforehand. Maybe next time. Going left was fun and solid rock. I'd recommend it without shame.

Oct 13, 2024 · Lead / Onsight. Think RT school is making me skinnier, pudgier, and rustier than I realize, cuz this felt extremely stout for the grade. Beautiful day out with Craig and Kelsey.
