Fingertrip West Face Tahquitz	Tue, Jun 3 2003	5.7 ***	Trad	4 pitches I led 0.	Aaron Reite	My first multi-pitch. Nice climb, but maybe too easy!
Whodunit Northwest Recess Tahquitz	Fri, Jun 18 2004	5.9 ***	Trad	8 pitches We did it in 6. I led 3.	Aaron Reite	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
Traitor Horn West Face Tahquitz	Fri, Jun 18 2004	5.8 **	Trad	4 pitches We did it in 3. I led 2.	Aaron Reite	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
The Open Book South Face Tahquitz	Wed, Jul 28 2004	5.9 ***	Trad	3 pitches I led 1.	Aaron Reite	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
The Long Climb (Wong Climb start) Northwest Recess Tahquitz	Wed, Jul 28 2004	5.8 **	Trad	6 pitches We did it in 4. I led 2.	Aaron Reite	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
Mechanic's Route South Face Tahquitz	Sat, Jun 4 2005	5.8 R ***	Trad	3 pitches We did it in 2. I led 1.	Aaron Reite	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 South Face Tahquitz	Sat, Jun 4 2005	5.8 ***	Trad	2 pitches I led 1.	Aaron Reite	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
Coffin Nail West Face Tahquitz	Sat, Jun 4 2005	5.8 *	Trad	3 pitches We did it in 2. I led 1.	Aaron Reite	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 West Face Bulge Tahquitz	Tue, Aug 16 2005	5.10a **	Trad	4 pitches I led 2.	Aaron Reite	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 Tahquitz	Tue, Aug 16 2005	5.8 ***	Trad	3 pitches I led 2.	Aaron Reite	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
Super Pooper West Face Bulge Tahquitz	Sun, Aug 28 2005	5.10a ***	Trad	3 pitches I led 1.	Aaron Reite	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 South Face Tahquitz	Sun, Aug 28 2005	5.9 **	Trad	3 pitches We did it in 2. I led 1.	Aaron Reite	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
The Consolation Northwest Recess Tahquitz	Wed, Aug 2 2006	5.9 *	Trad	7 pitches We did it in 4. I led 2.	Aaron Reite	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) West Face Tahquitz	Wed, Aug 2 2006	5.9 **	Trad	1 pitch I led.	Aaron Reite	This was an awesome pitch! One of the best finger cracks I've ever climbed, hands down.
The Jam Crack/The Trough West Face Tahquitz	Wed, Aug 2 2006	5.8 *	Trad	5 pitches We did it in 3. I led 1.	Aaron Reite	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
