5.6 Started with a long scramble up a gulley. The actual 5.6 crack after that was pretty good, but short. I just stayed at the top and belayed the others up from there, since it just… more

5.8 *** A very good climb. The traverse down and left on the last pitch seems like a less aesthetic variation than continuing straight up the crack (going straight up is “Roan Way”, which… more

5.9 * This was fun, and only had a few slightly tricky spots. It did have a slightly scary section, where there was a large block sticking out of the wide crack, and you had almost no… more

5.1 * We did this just so Janet could practice placing gear and building anchors. She placed one nut and three cams. The first placement (a #13 Stopper) was completely and utterly… more

5.7 This was a good little route, and Janet's gear placements were much better than the last time I saw her lead. They still weren't perfect, but very good.

5.9 This was an interesting little route. It was really more of a slab climb than a crack, but with a shallow seam for gear.

5.6 This is an outstanding amazing excellent hand crack, and deserves at least three stars. Janet led it with no trouble at all, and her gear placements were very good.

5.10c There's NO way the start of this thing is only .10c, unless I missed some serious beta or something. The line itself looked quite striking from a distance, when I saw it from the… more

5.8 A very pretty line, and a lot of fun. I fully believe several of the climbs in this area, including this one, deserve a star or three, but I think the area was rarely visited at… more

5.6 Janet started up this, but bailed when it got really wide near the top. From the beginning it seemed like her head wasn't really in it. Her gear placements were mostly very good… more

5.7 ** Janet again started up the first few feet of this, but her head just wasn't in it again, so I took over.

5.6 R *** I saw this in the book, and someone we were talking to recommended it, despite the R rating. It was definitely VERY runout, but a good introduction to easy chimneying. I placed a… more

5.10a *** This was excellent, and I'm really glad I finally got to climb something a little bit hard on this trip. Aaron and I had looked at this a few years ago, and I don't remember why we… more
