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.
