Jul 23, 2017 Willamette Valley > Garden > Garden Cliffs Anaphylactic Shock 5.12a ● This route might be a full number grade easier if it weren't for the last move. View Comment
Jul 22, 2017 Willamette Valley > Garden > Garden Cliffs The Stasis Chamber 5.12b ● Originally I thought this route would be much harder, but I found some reachy beta that makes the crux feel… View Comment
Jul 14, 2017 Willamette Valley > Garden > Garden Boulders > Meth Lab Boulder Octernal (Direct Variation) V7 ● Agreed. Last time I was there I moved the big log out of the landing so its a little bit better now. Still… View Comment

Dec 20, 2016 Joshua Tree NP > … 1 > Hidden Valley C… > HVCG Bouldering… > HVCG West > Triangle Boulder Old Triangle Classic V0+ ● This will be a very hard V0 if you aren't comfortable smearing on granite. View Comment
Dec 20, 2016 Eastern Sierra > Bishop Area > Volcanic Tablel… > Sad Boulders > Ice Caves Erotic Terrorist V5-6 ● The hardest part is not dabbing View Comment
Dec 20, 2016 Eastern Sierra > … > Volcanic Tablel… > Happy Boulders > Tom Peter's Sla… > Grindrite Boulder My Fingers In Your Brain V4 ● Fun, burly moves with heel hooks for feet. Felt easier than Grinderite to me. View Comment
Dec 20, 2016 Eastern Sierra > Bishop Area Owens River Gorge ● Don't let the fact that this is the same rock type as Smith fool you. The rock is much smoother and has… View Comment
Dec 20, 2016 Eastern Sierra > Bishop Area > Owens River Gorge > Inner Gorge > Dilithium Crystal Enterprise 5.12b ● This climb felt substantially easier than Loony Binge, maybe I just have no upper body strength though. View Comment
Dec 20, 2016 Eastern Sierra > … > Volcanic Tablel… > Happy Boulders > E Rim Area > Atari Area Atari V6 R ● Rumor has it that this problem is much easier when its cold. So far that hasn't made a difference for m… View Comment
Dec 20, 2016 Eastern Sierra > Bishop Area > Owens River Gorge > Central Gorge > Social Platform Santana 5.11c ● Getting to the platform is not bad. We roped up and traversed in, but the climbing wasn't hard and fall… View Comment

Oct 23, 2016 Central Oregon > Smith Rock > (w) The Marsupials > Mud Pile Marsupials Traverse 5.8 R ● This is a fun and interesting route. I have a few comments: There are very few cam placements on this ro… View Comment
Oct 3, 2016 Central Oregon > Smith Rock > (m) Smith Rock… > (3) Phoenix Carabid 5.6 PG13 ● I don't really think that this route needs a pg13 rating. The climbing is very easy and the protection… View Comment
Sep 29, 2016 Willamette Valley > Garden > Garden Cliffs Nest 5.10c ● If you have regular (12cm) quick draws they will hang with the beaner over the edge on the 2nd and 4th bolt… View Comment
Sep 29, 2016 Willamette Valley > Garden > Garden Cliffs Wildlings 5.11d ● Its hard to compare this route to Naschash and Learning to Fly since its so short and physical. Its clearly… View Comment

Sep 21, 2016 Willamette Valley > Garden > Garden Cliffs Fight Club (Round Two) 5.12b ● The crux sequence is a 10' section that would go at around v5 as a boulder problem. The rest of the rou… View Comment
Sep 7, 2016 S Idaho > City of Rocks > Steinfell's Dome Sinocranium 5.8 ● Couldn't find the second anchor on rappel. Ended up just barely making it to a small ledge off of one 7… View Comment
Sep 7, 2016 Eastern Sierra > … > Buttermilk Country > Buttermilks Main > Buttermilk Stem… > Buttermilk Stem Boulder Buttermilk Stem V1 ● This route is sure to infuriate any climber with an ego. It took me 3 trips (spread out across a few years)… View Comment
Sep 7, 2016 Mt Hood National Forest Lost Lake Boulders ● I did a 2 day trip to this area last year. I wouldn't say that it was a disappointment, but we would ha… View Comment
Sep 7, 2016 Mt Hood Nationa… > Lost Lake Boulders > Rewilding Boulders > Ultrasaurus Boulder Ultrasaurus V6-7 ● Awesome route, it alone almost makes up for the fact that most of the rest of the climbs in this area are l… View Comment
Sep 7, 2016 Central Oregon > Smith Rock > (t) Kiss of the Leper… Groove Thang 5.8+ ● Super cool route. Worth checking out if you are in the area and want something more adventurous. The belay… View Comment
Sep 7, 2016 Central Oregon > Smith Rock > (u) Red Wall Gulag Archipelago 5.11+ ● Amazing route. Its possible to skip the crux bulge on the third pitch by traversing right onto easier (5.8)… View Comment
Sep 7, 2016 Willamette Valley > Garden > Garden Boulders > Meth Lab Boulder Octernal V7 ● This route feels like V7/8 if you use the low starting holds. Almost every move is easier than the last so… View Comment
