Whiskey
Indian Cove (Circle Crag)
Sun, Dec 14
2008
5.6 1 pitch
I led.
This was short and easy, but reasonably good, basically a one-move wonder, with the crux right off the ground. Thuy followed it without difficulty.
Gin Fizz
Indian Cove (Circle Crag)
Sun, Dec 14
2008
5.7 R 1 pitch
I led.
Another short one, also with the only tricky move coming right off the ground. Also not really all that runout.
Scotch
Indian Cove (Circle Crag)
Sun, Dec 14
2008
5.6 R 1 pitch
I led.
Another short one, also with the only tricky move coming right off the ground. This one was runout, but the runout was in the really easy middle section.
Scotch With a Twist
Indian Cove (Circle Crag)
Sun, Dec 14
2008
5.8 R 1 pitch
I led.
This was a little trickier, but still mostly a one-move crux right off the ground. This also wasn't really that runout.
AA
Indian Cove (Circle Crag)
Sun, Dec 14
2008
5.7 1 pitch
I led.
This was short but really nice. The thin crack down low was fun, and the hand crack up above was awesome. The first part of it was a little wide, so Thuy had to use fists for a lot… more
The Haberdashery
Indian Cove (Circle Crag)
Sun, Dec 14
2008
5.8 1 pitch
I led.
This was pretty nice. I thought it was quite a bit better than most of the other routes on this rock. The crux involved rather shaky flaring hand jams, but on low-angled rock, and… more
Genuine Cowhide
Indian Cove (Campfire Crag)
Sun, Dec 14
2008
5.10a ** 1 pitch
I led.
This was a pretty good one, and felt fairly tricky for 10a. But the crux was really just kind of pumpy face climbing on pretty good holds, protected by a bolt. Once you got into… more
Heart Slab
Indian Cove (Campfire Crag)
Sun, Dec 14
2008
5.8 1 pitch
I led.
The guidebook says this has five bolts, which is a lie. Furthermore, it indicates that two of them are below the big horizontal gash in the middle, and not only did I not see any… more
Mental Physics
Wonderland of Rocks (Lenticular Dome)
Sat, Jan 31

5.7+ **** 2 pitches
I led 2.
I think this is the first time I've ever hiked way out into the Wonderland looking for a particular crag, and actually found it without getting completely lost for at least a… more
Dazed and Confused
Wonderland of Rocks (Lenticular Dome)
Sat, Jan 31
2009
5.9 *** 2 pitches
I led 2.
This was an excellent slab route. Thuy fell once on the first pitch, but otherwise had no difficulty. Like Mental Physics next to it, the second pitch had no pro other than one… more
Mr. Bunny versus Six Unknown Agents
Lost Horse (IRS Wall)
Sun, Apr 26
2009
5.8 ** 1 pitch
I led.
A fun route, but short and mostly really easy. A nut that I placed got stuck pretty badly, and Thuy worked on it for a while with no success. So I decided we could do the route… more
Mr. Bunny's Tax Shelter
Lost Horse (IRS Wall)
Sun, Apr 26
2009
5.5 1 pitch
I led.
This was easy, but quite fun. I think I'd give it a few stars.
H & R Block
Lost Horse (IRS Wall)
Sun, Apr 26
2009
5.6 * 1 pitch
I followed.
Thuy's first lead! I had noticed this in the guidebook, and when we got to the top of Mr. Bunny versus Six Unknown Agents and I saw it up close, I immediately thought it would be a… more
Tax Man
Lost Horse (IRS Wall)
Sun, Apr 26
2009
5.10a **** 1 pitch
I led.
This was of course the goal for the day. This is one of those routes that I've been meaning to get on forever, and I can't believe I've gone this long without trying it. It's quite… more
Bloody Tax Break
Lost Horse (IRS Wall)
Sun, Apr 26
2009
5.10b ** 1 pitch
I led.
An excellent climb, and it actually seemed somewhat easier than Tax Man, just because it had really nice rests throughout. I placed nothing but nuts until the very end, where I… more
Mr. Bunny's Refund Check
Lost Horse (IRS Wall)
Sun, Apr 26
2009
5.10a ** 1 pitch
I led.
Yet another beautiful straight-in thin crack, albeit a little shorter than the previous two. Clearly, if you like 10a/b finger cracks, IRS Wall is a prime spot. Thuy once again… more
Alf's Arête
Lost Horse (IRS Wall)
Sun, Apr 26
2009
5.11a/b **** 1 pitch
I led.
This route was recommended to me by Nathaniel as one to try whenever I got around to doing Tax Man. I'm glad I did, as it was excellent! Interestingly, even though this route is… more
