Flower of High Rank

5.9 *** 1 pitch
I led.
We finally did this ultra classic, and it was well worth the wait. Only one pitch, but a good one the whole way.

5.10b ** 1 pitch
I followed.
This was an excellent and pretty easy finger crack not far from Flower of High Rank. It was unfortunately short, and I think I'd give it a 10a (or even 5.9) instead of 10b. True,… more

5.10c R ** 1 pitch
I led.
I don't know what the hell I was thinking leading this, but in retrospect I'm really glad I did. This was definitely the hardest trad lead I've done, and although I didn't redpoint… more

5.10b ** 1 pitch
I led.
When I pulled the rope after rapping off of Flakes of Wrath, it got stuck, so we decided to re-climb this sweet piece of rock to clear the snag. This time I led, since I knew it… more

5.10a * 1 pitch
I led.
This was a fun little slab. Short, and not too tough. Aaron led it first; he fell once, but otherwise didn't have much trouble. Then we pulled the rope and I led, finishing it… more

5.9 *** 3 pitches
I led 1.
This was an excellent multipitch slab climb. Definitely a “traditional” bolted climb, as it was pretty run out, and you could tell it was bolted on lead. (The bolts were not placed… more

This was fun, and really didn't feel hard to me. There were thin edges all the way, so I did much more edging than smearing. I think Joshua Tree slabs feel harder to me, because… more

Buttress of Cracks
Sun, May 27
2007
5.10a * 1 pitch
I led.
This was an excellent crack climb. The beginning part was in the easy 10 range and involved some thin finger locks. The rest went up a wide flaring groove, for which I stayed on… more

5.9 ** 3 pitches
I led 3.

This was a really fun route. It was mostly really really easy for the first two pitches (and good thing too, since there was virtually no pro on the first pitch) with a few… more

5.10a ** 2 pitches
I led 2.

This was super fun. Though a bit harder technically than the previous one, and much more varied, it wasn't the least bit runout. In fact, I kept joking that at the crux the bolts… more

This was an excellent and fun route the second time around, just as it had been the first time. Unfortunately, this time the weather didn't cooperate as well, but we all survived.… more

5.8 * 2 pitches
I led 2.
This was a fairly fun and interesting climb. Getting around the “crocodile's head” on the first pitch was a bit interesting, but not too difficult. Dianne had a little difficulty… more

5.8 * 1 pitch
I led.
This was a really fun little route! It was mostly easy, with the exception of a technical crux that consisted of about two moves, about half-way up. Dianne almost got through this… more
