Indian Cove (Short Wall)
 Sat, Nov 25
2006		 5.6 1 pitch
I led.

This trip was to give my noob friends a little more trad and crack experience, and maybe even let them lead something super easy. Basically, most of the weekend was “Will's… more
Donna T's Route
Indian Cove (Short Wall)
 Sat, Nov 25
2006		 5.5 1 pitch
I led.

A second easy crack for the crack workshop.
Court Jester
Indian Cove (Feudal Wall)
 Sat, Nov 25
2006		 5.7 1 pitch
I led.

A third easy crack, and a much longer one. I ended up having to belay one person at a time from the top, and lower each one individually.
Tom's Solo
Indian Cove (Pixie Rock)
 Sun, Nov 26
2006		 5.7 1 pitch
I led.

This was fun, albeit a bit dirty. It was also a tad pumpy for a 5.7, so my friends all struggled a bit. Erica was also a bit hungover.
Who's First
Indian Cove (Pixie Rock)
 Sun, Nov 26
2006		 5.6 * 1 pitch
I led.

Fun and easy, just as before.
Double Crack
Indian Cove (Short Wall)
 Sun, Nov 26
2006		 5.3 * 1 pitch
I led.

I led this, then set up a top-rope and a fixed line next to it. Erica, Danielle, and Steven each took a turn “mock leading” it, with someone belaying them on the top-rope, but… more
Damper
Hidden Valley Campground (Chimney Rock)
 Fri, Feb 2
2007		 5.9 ** 1 pitch
I led.
I never thought I would really enjoy a fist crack, but this thing was pretty sweet! Really locker fist jams! Getting down from the top in the dark was almost an epic though.
Hands Off
Hidden Valley Campground (The Wall)
 Sun, Feb 4
2007		 5.8 *** 1 pitch
I led.
Very nice finger crack! Danielle had little difficulty with it. Indy also enjoyed hanging out at the base of the route!
Mike's Books
Hidden Valley Campground (Intersection Rock)
 Sun, Feb 4
2007		 5.8 ** 2 pitches
I led 0.
After having a very lazy climbing day, because we were all just really tired, we decided to finish up on this. Aaron led both pitches, and Danielle followed with little difficulty.
Palmreader
Indian Cove (Palmreader Wall)
 Sun, Mar 4
2007		 5.8 ** 1 pitch
I led.
I of course wanted to do some crack, and we were camped a stone's throw from the world's shortest perfect splitter hand-crack. So as soon as we were all up and about, I got some… more
Main Face (a.k.a. Call of the West)
Indian Cove (Willit Pillar)
 Sun, Mar 4
2007		 5.9 ** 1 pitch
I led.
This was fun, and gave me a chance to do something at least a little challenging. Danielle followed, but got stuck at the final right-slanting crack (which was a bit tricky), and… more
Surprise Direct
Weeping Wall
 Sun, Jun 3
2007		 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
Hesitation
Sunshine Face
 Sun, Jun 3
2007		 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
Freeway
Lost Horse (Freeway Wall)
 Sun, Nov 4
2007		 5.7 R * 1 pitch
I led.
This was an interesting route. Mostly very easy, and not as run-out as it looked. Some of the “exits” off the freeway looked a bit interesting, but I wasn't thoroughly inspired to… more
Cake Walk
Lost Horse (Freeway Wall)
 Sun, Nov 4
2007		 5.8 *** 1 pitch
I led.
This was quite nice, but if I were assigning the stars, I'd give Dinkey Doinks three and this one two. This one had a more discontinuous crack and I got very few really satisfying… more
Dinkey Doinks
Lost Horse (Tiny Tots Rock)
 Sun, Nov 4
2007		 5.8 ** 1 pitch
I led.
This was excellent, and felt quite easy to me, but both Danielle and Marisa had significant difficulty with the initial part of the crack. For me the crack was marvelous, as were… more
Tunnel Vision
White Rock Springs (Angel Food Wall)
 Thu, Mar 20
2008		 5.7+ *** 6 pitches
I led 6.		 This was the last of the super-classic moderate routes at Red Rocks that I hadn't yet climbed, so it's been on my list for a while. Danielle and I got up at 5:15, and although we… more
Beulah's BookTrip Report
Oak Creek Canyon (Solar Slab Wall)
 Fri, Mar 21
2008		 5.8 * 4 pitches
We did it in 3.
I led 3.		 Since we had backpacks, we decided to take the easier arête variation rather than the chimney/corner on the second pitch. This is not only the crux of the route, but from what I… more
Going Nuts/Solar Slab
Oak Creek Canyon (Solar Slab Wall)
 Fri, Mar 21
2008		 5.6 *** 10 pitches
We did it in 7.
I led 7.		 The Going Nuts variation to the first two pitches was really easy and just pure fun for me. Larry suggested this, and as soon as he mentioned it I decided it was a good idea,… more
Panty Raid
Calico Hills (Panty Wall)
 Sun, Mar 23
2008		 5.10a *** 1 pitch
I led.		 This was an excellent climb! It even felt like it might have been .10a, just because it was so sustained. Really more like a very pumpy 5.9 face climb, but with excellent gear for… more
Cover My Buttress
Calico Hills (Panty Wall)
 Sun, Mar 23
2008		 5.6 1 pitch
I followed.		 This was Danielle's first trad lead. She did fine with it, but of course she took quite a bit of time placing gear. With the exception of one nut that was probably good enough, but… more
Nurn's Romp
Sheep Pass (Hall of Horrors)
 Sat, Feb 28
2009		 5.8 ** 1 pitch
I led.		 This is an outstanding crack, and I really don't know why I haven't done it before, considering that I've climbed routes on this wall at least twice before. Perhaps it was always… more
Walk on the Wild Side (Not enough time)
Sheep Pass (Saddle Rocks)
 Sat, Feb 28
2009		 5.7+ **** 2 pitches
We climbed 1.
I led 1.		 It's quite a bummer having to add this to my climbing log... didn't make it up a two-pitch route in Joshua Tree before dark. Jeez. Really, it was pretty dumb of us to think we… more
Invisibility Lessons
Split Rocks (Future Games Rock)
 Sun, Mar 1
2009		 5.9 **** 1 pitch
I led.		 This is a fantabulicious crack! The lower part involves some technical footwork before you get to the actual crack. The crux is a 10-foot section of thin hands immediately after a… more
Continuum
Split Rocks (Future Games Rock)
 Sun, Mar 1
2009		 5.8+ *** 1 pitch
I led.		 This one was also excellent, although not as high quality as Invisibility Lessons. The start was probably the crux, a steep but short section of thin hands (with other more… more
Overhang Bypass
Hidden Valley Campground (Intersection Rock)
 Sun, Mar 1
2009		 5.7 *** 2 pitches
I led 2.		 I can't believe it has taken me this long to get around to doing this über-classic that's right there in the Campground! I think every other time I've considered it, it's been… more
The Eye
Hidden Valley Campground (Cyclops Rock)
 Sun, Mar 1
2009		 5.3 *** 1 pitch
I led.		 Holy crap this is a fun easy route! Next time I'm in the general vicinity of the Campground with a noob, I should do this. Or for that matter, next time I'm in the Campground and… more
Right Sawdust Crack
Quail Springs (Trashcan Rock)
 Sun, Mar 1
2009		 5.8 ** 1 pitch
I led.		 This is another route that I can't believe I haven't done before, considering how often I finish the day at Trashcan Rock. It's a pretty nice crack that starts at thin hands and… more
