● Slammin'
Apr 20, 2025 · TR. Gear - 0.3/0.4 for the 5.10 section at the start. Protect crux with 0.1 and blue ball nut. Might be possible to get other gear just above? Idk. Do the main crux then 0.4/0.5 and black totem size for the rest of the climb

● Separate Reality
Nov 20, 2024 · 2 pitches. Lead / Pinkpoint. Fell going for the jug on the flash (placing gear). Lowered, pulled the rope, and fired 15 min later. Will have to go back for the proper redpoint eventually but pretty psyched overall. What an iconic line.

● The Prow
Oct 20, 2024 · Lead / Onsight. Holy crap, what an amazing day. S/o to Suzie for supporting the vision. Led all 6 pitches, onsight, 4th day on lol. Had a little bit of beta for the p5 roof pull from the old Courage to Climb film, so not 100% pure but I am psyched. Perfect conditions, starting at 12 already the whole route in the shade. Topped out at 5 as a couple was taking wedding pics above Camber. P1. easy romping with a couple 5.9/10a slab moves, bolts P2. first boulder was pretty hard, solid V3. I went left hand to the high flat edge, gaston the strange loaf, and the matched underneath before hitting the jug. Then the slab pitch was super engaging, definitely harder than Reverse Camber. Especially the final mini crux. 10d? P3. Exciting step across around the arete then mostly easy climbing with 1 hard ish move establishing back on the left side of the face. 10b/c maybe P4. Clip 2 bolts climbing up and to the right, then got confused and downclimb back to the start. Went up more on the left side and did a crazy crystal crimp ninja kick double finger lock foot cut thing to gain the crack. Ungradeable so 11d. Finger crack after is money, 10a/b ish P5. Traverse direct left from the belay, easier than it looks. Steep pumpy finger crack climbing to get into the corner. Stemming is immaculate. No fixed gear in the corner, 0.2 and #5 bd nut super useful. Roof pull is low key ez, 10d at the gunks lol. Overall more like 11b/c, idk who tf is calling this 12b. Rack: I brought 7 draws and 4 alpines, 0.1-2 and double .3-0.5, nuts. Next time drop the 0.1, 2, extra 0.3.
