Nutcracker Eagle Creek Area Yosemite Valley	Sun, Sep 12 2004	5.8 *****	We skipped the real first two pitches of this, to get past a huge mass of crowds. The rest of the climb was fun.
East Buttress Middle Cathedral Yosemite Valley	Mon, Sep 13 2004	IV 5.10c *****	Incredible route, and one of the hardest and most serious I had done to date. I also got to do my hardest lead yet in the middle of this route.
Snake Dike Half Dome Yosemite Valley	Tue, Sep 14 2004	III 5.7 R *****	Climbed with Aaron Reite and John Leo. An excellent and truly fun climb, and a really long day altogether.
Central Pillar of Frenzy (First 3 pitches only) Middle Cathedral Yosemite Valley	Sat, Sep 18 2004	5.9 *****	We just climbed the first three pitches (5.9 and below) of this long classic. (The whole climb is a grade V, and goes at 5.10d.) They were quite nice, despite a bit of wide stuff… more

Commitment Lower Yosemite Falls Area Yosemite Valley	Sat, May 13 2006	5.9 ****	This was an excellent three-pitch route. The first pitch took a splitter 5.8 hand crack to a nice stance. The second pitch, which Shanjean led, went straight up the inside corner… more
Selaginella (Bailed, partner bonked) Lower Yosemite Falls Area Yosemite Valley	Sat, May 13 2006	5.8 ***	The first pitch of this climb was pretty nice (once we found the correct start), but by the time she reached the end of it, Shanjean seemed to be bonking pretty hard. We bailed.
Royal Arches Royal Arches Area Yosemite Valley	Sat, Oct 14 2006	5.7 C0 *****	We've been wanting to do this one for a long time. It was a lot of fun, albeit very easy. Of course, we simul-climbed extensively, so we did the whole thing in just four pitches,… more
