5.10b * 1 pitch
I led.

This was devious! At one point I just stood there for a minute or two trying to figure out what the hell to do next. It ended up being a pretty cool move, not too terribly… more
Dawn of an Age
Blue Gramma Cliff
Mon, Mar 26
2007
5.10 *** 1 pitch
I led.
I fell twice on this. I think it was mostly because my head wasn't in it. I forgot to pu ton my helmet, and when I realized that, I was a little sketched.

5.10 *** 1 pitch
I followed.
Nathaniel led, and fell once at the crux. I followed with no difficulty. Afterwards, we watched a guy take a pretty big whipper, shirtless, helmetless, and upside-down! Scary.

5.10 **** 4 pitches
We climbed 2.
I led 2.
We got up to the ledge at the top of the chimney, stuck behind two other parties. We were a little worried at first about time, but then the wind kicked up and we saw the rain in… more

Freaking spectacular. Oh my God. So sweet. So good. I led first, and Nathaniel followed, then I stayed at the top and took pictures as Brian led.

2007
5.10 *** 1 pitch
I led.

This was pretty sweet, but pumpy as hell, and got just a little wide in several spots. Brian led first, then Nathaniel followed, then Brian took pictures from the top as I led. As… more

5.9+ **** 4 pitches
I led 0.

Amazingly, despite my sprained knee from the day before, I was able to do the approach to this climb, then follow the whole route, with no issues. Apparently the sprain was pretty… more

This was really fun. A bit tricky since the hands were pretty thin, but not too hard.
Binou's Crack
Donnelly Canyon
Mon, Mar 26
2007
5.9 *** 1 pitch
I led.
Though not as aesthetic as the previous climbs, this turned out to be an excellent crack. And though the really wide section at the top looked nasty, it turned out to be easy and… more

Nathaniel led this up into the roof, but couldn't pull through it. I lowered him and took over leading. I fell the first time I tried pulling the roof, but caught myself on a hand… more

5.9 ** 1 pitch
I led.

It snowed most of the night and well into the morning. This really sucked, considering how far we had come to climb the splitter cracks of Indian Creek. Though I was somewhat… more
Amaretto Corner
Supercrack Buttress
Thu, Mar 29
2007
5.9 *** 1 pitch
I led.

This was an excellent climb. It started out hands, but gradually got wider and wider. I walked a single #4 Camalot up about twenty feet as I went. At the top, I pulled a quick and… more

5.8 **** 4 pitches
We did it in 2.
I led 0.

This was also an excellent route, but did require a little more use of my bad knee than the previous climb. Since we were short on time (Nathaniel was insistent that we get back to… more

Softest 5.7 in the park, hands down. Deserves a star for its nice big jugs. (Mmmmmm... nice big soft jugs....)
