Grade Route Gear style Quality
Sun 18th Oct 2009 - Eardley Escarpment
Western Cwm Corruption Buttress
5.6 Morning Crack Trad Average
Crux was interesting, ending was a bit awkward -- cleaning nuts from a poor stance also is a pain.

 
Sun 18th Oct 2009 - Eardley Escarpment
Western Cwm Banana Republic
5.4 Cinch Crack Trad 15m
Holy shit. Don't lead this unless you're comfortable on a couple grades higher locally.

 
Sun 18th Oct 2009 - Eardley Escarpment
Western Cwm Reaper Buttress
5.8 Mr Toady's Dihedral Mixed trad 8m, 1 Good
Suprisingly reachy at the top.

 
Sun 18th Oct 2009 - Eardley Escarpment
Western Cwm Baby Pneu
5.6 Bitter Fingers Trad
Sun 18th Oct 2009 - Eardley Escarpment
Western Cwm North Wall
5.5 Route A Trad 10m Good
Bouldery crux at start, after that is very easy.

 
Sun 20th Sep 2009 - Bon Echo
5.2 5.0 Birthday Ridge Trad 90m Classic
Amazing climbing for a 5.2; good rock, good protection, and amazing exposure. I'm such-graded routes being dirty vegetated scrambles.

 
5.3 One Pine Trad 120m Classic
Good climbing with nice exposure. Swung pitches. This is definitely a Bon Echo classic.

 
5.4 Afternoon Delight Trad 40m Very Good
Sat 19th Sep 2009 - Bon Echo
5.4 Yellow Groove Trad 45m Good
Swung pitches, I led the 2nd pitch. The "groove" is a bit of a squeeze if carrying a pack.

 
Sun 13th Sep 2009 - Calabogie
Main Cliff (Summer - Rock) 2nd Easy Way Down Sector
5.5 Lone Cedar Trad 12m Crap
Messy, unpleasant, un-fun. Lots of loose dirt and bushes, and not good pro. Not worth climbing (or, I think, cleaning).

 
Sun 13th Sep 2009 - Calabogie
Main Cliff (Summer - Rock) North End
5.3 Traps Trad Good
Fun for its grade. Really needs cleaning.

 
5.6 Cedar Hollow Mixed trad 15m, 3 Good
A good climb with interesting moves. Really needs cleaning.

 
Mon 7th Sep 2009 - Montagne d'Argent
Le fou
5.8 Le centenaire Sport 75m, 8 Average
Lower section has a couple moves that are delicate for its grade. Apparently I finished on Krakatoa at top. Not intended.

 
Mon 7th Sep 2009 - Montagne d'Argent
M & M
5.10a Psychokrak Trad 25m
5.8 M&M Trad 23m
Lovely splitter crack.

 
Mon 7th Sep 2009 - Montagne d'Argent
Grand Canyon
5.10b Souris Chave Sport 34m, 9
Long way back to the anchors at the top.

 
Mon 7th Sep 2009 - Montagne d'Argent
Controverse
controverse Sport 25m, 10 Good
5.6 with a 5.9 crux.

 
Mon 7th Sep 2009 - Montagne d'Argent
M & M
5.7 Krakabra Trad 25m Very Good
Not a lot of cracks in the area, so not up on my jamming.

 
Sun 6th Sep 2009 - Montagne d'Argent
Le fou
5.9 Krakatoa Sport 25m, 6 Average
Off-width. Physical, but never felt particularly committing.

 
Sun 6th Sep 2009 - Montagne d'Argent
Grand Canyon
5.10a Pathfinder Sport 25m, 8
5.9 La Cha-cha des Félins Sport 28m, 7
Enjoyable for its grade (5.9-).

 
Sun 6th Sep 2009 - Montagne d'Argent
Controverse
5.5 hiroshima Mixed trad 30m, 9
Route finding a bit tricky near the top.

 
Sat 5th Sep 2009 - Eardley Escarpment
Western Cwm North Wall
5.5 Route C Trad 10m Very Good
5.4 Route B Trad 10m Classic
Sun 30th Aug 2009 - Calabogie
Main Cliff (Summer - Rock) Star Trek Sector
5.5 5.6 Phasers on Stun Trad 18m Very Good
Well protected past the opening moves and a fun lead.

 
Mon 3rd Aug 2009 - Calabogie
Main Cliff (Summer - Rock) 2nd Easy Way Down Sector
5.8 Cool But Concerned Mixed trad 18m, 1 Very Good
The upper section is very thin, requiring quite careful foot work. Now, I need red point this.

 
Mon 3rd Aug 2009 - Calabogie
Main Cliff (Summer - Rock) Star Trek Sector
5.3 5.4 Spruce Root Chute Trad 11m Don't Bother
Dirty, run out at start and end.

 
Wed 22nd Jul 2009 - Albigna
Piz Balzet
4 WSW Ridge (Albigna Geist) Trad 800m Good
Another climb on my trip. We made a mistake, and bailed at the fore-summit -- thinking Bacun was Balzet, and we didn't have time to finish.

 
Mon 20th Jul 2009 - Albigna
Spazzacaldeira
6b 6a+ Via Leni Mixed trad 150m, 14 Good
Swung leads. (Date not exact -- was late July 2009 trip to the Alps.)

Main Cliff (Summer - Rock) 2nd Easy Way Down Sector

Sun 31st May 2009 - Kingston Mills

5.4 The Wedge Mixed trad 25m, 1 Average
My first trad lead. It seemed very run-out and hard to protect. (I might do better, now, or I might know better now. )

 
Tue 31st Mar 2009 - El Potrero Chico
The Central Scrutinizer
5.10c 5.10b Bubba Loui Sport 49m, 8
Led pitch 1, 2nd pitch 2.

Tue 31st Mar 2009 - El Potrero Chico
Las Estrellas Estrellas North Wall
5.10b Estrellita (5.10b Variation) Sport 370m, 12 Classic
A gorgeous route, and the top-out at the top of the ridge is lovely. The rappels down the back-side of the ridge are interesting, though.

 
Mon 30th Mar 2009 - El Potrero Chico
Front Side Zapatista Wall
5.10c Satori Sport 210m, 11 Classic
A long approach for EPC, but well worth it. A gorgeous climb. Soft for its grade, though.
