5.7 *** My first multi-pitch. Nice climb, but maybe too easy!
Whodunit
Northwest Recess

5.9 *** Aaron and I had been wanting to climb this for a year, and we finally got to. It was a stellar route, and well worth the wait. We did it in six pitches with no simul-climbing,… more

5.8 ** We ran up this after doing Whodunit, since we had plenty of daylight left. This time, we simul-climbed the easy first part (with me leading), up to the beginning of the crux pitch,… more

5.9 *** Another ultra-classic that we've been wanting to do for a long time. We both decided afterwards that we wanted to do ths one again, because we each felt our technique wasn't “right… more

5.8 ** A nice long classic that has been on our list for a while, and was one of the few good routes in the shade (mostly in the shade). The route turned out to not be so long, since we… more

5.8 R *** This time I led the first pitch, and Aaron led the second. He went all the way to the chains without running out of rope, so it is quite possible to do this in two pitches with no… more
Left Ski Track/The Chauvinist

5.8 *** Aaron led the first pitch of Left Ski Track, with its “unbelievably good jugs”, then due to slow crowds, we finished with the second pitch of The Chauvinist. The first pitch was… more

5.8 * This was an incredibly fun route, I thought. I would give it more than one star, personally. I also don't think it was 5.8, but then again, I think all the 5.8 stuff at Tahquitz is… more
The Step

5.10a ** The ominous route on which two people died about two years ago. This really wasn't too tough, although because there has been some rockfall at the crux in the last few years, it… more
The Chauvinist/Left Ski Track
South Face

5.8 *** Having already done the first pitch of Left Ski Track and the second pitch of The Chauvinist, we decided to do the opposite, so that we have now climbed all of both routes (I had… more

5.10a *** Aaron led the first and last pitches of this, since I had already led them. They felt easier this time, maybe because I had done them before, or maybe because I was just following.… more
Right Ski Track

5.9 ** This was every bit as spectacular as its neighbor, Left Ski Track. Rather than setting up a natural anchor for a hanging belay in the middle of the nice long crack, I linked the… more

5.9 * This route, right next to Whodunit, was pretty fun and high quality, but it certainly didn't seem as good to me as Whodunit.
Dave's Deviation (First pitch only)

5.9 ** This was an awesome pitch! One of the best finger cracks I've ever climbed, hands down.
The Jam Crack/The Trough
West Face
Wed, Aug 2
2006
5.8 * This was fun, but in retrospect, I wish we had studied the guidebook more and tried one of the better (and harder) variations for the last pitch. We just went up the Trough without… more
