Hanging Flake
Jun 12, 2024 · Solo. I free soloed this one! First time I've ever done it, and it was a sick onsight! I was careful and made my way up using hand jams and then a few fist jams. I was going to downclimb after completing, but Jay climbed up and we both rapped down instead. Sick!!

Built for Life
Oct 7, 2023 · Lead / Onsight. This was my final climb of the day, and man it was a great end! Cool side pulls at the start, followed by increasingly steep slab. At the top, I decided to full send for what I hoped was a jug, and I barely got it - but I did get it! Relief is just past the anchors! Awesome climb. Everyone in my group clapped, lol.

Kentucky Pinstripe
Oct 4, 2023 · Lead / Redpoint. I was sort of talked into finally trying this climb, because so many other people were waiting to climb Eureka, lol. I was skeptical because I haven't lead anything past 5.9 outdoors, but I FREAKING DID IT! Single fall on the first attempt, but lead it clean on the second try. Dill and Taylor were there to witness. Hell yeah, tons of fun.
