5.6 | ★★ Bird Merde | 11m | ★ Good | |||
Nice climb if you can find it amidst the choss.
|
||||||
Mon 9th Oct 2006 - Seneca | ||||||
South Peak West Face | ||||||
5.2 | ★ Old Ladies' Route | 84m | ★★★ Classic | |||
I think this is a classic for the grade. Climbed with Nate. Led p1 and p3.

South Peak West Face | ||||||
5.5 | ★★ Easy Over | 30m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Mother of God! did I ever screw up the traverse--way off route. Did ok once I got to the actual climb.

Sun 17th Sep 2006 - Frederick | ||||||
Sugarloaf Mountain Boy Scout Ledges | ||||||
5.7 | ★ Time of the Prophets | Average | ||||
The Climb Maryland book has a variation climb here but I really cannot tell the diff. You would have to be three inches wide to stay on just one of the routes the way the book describes them. Therefore, I picked the one with the higher rating for my ticklist to make myself feel better. Oh, and this is an 'R' IMHO due to a the nasty landing under the crux that you cannot completely protect.
|
||||||
Sat 16th Sep 2006 - Seneca | ||||||
North Peak East Face | ||||||
5.7 | ★★ Rox Salt | 40m | ★★ Very Good | |||
P1 only. Nice, a bit scary (by which I mean I had to change pants after) due to the huge pointy boulder at the bottom.
|
||||||
5.3 | ★ Roux | 46m | Average | |||
Easier than Old Man's IMHO. Not a ton of gear for someone new to leading, depending on how much faith you have in slung bushes.
|
||||||
Sun 10th Sep 2006 - Seneca | ||||||
South Peak West Face | ||||||
5.6 | ★★ Critter Crack | 14m | ★★★ Classic | |||

5.5 | ★ Conn's West "Stupid's Corner" Start | 40m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Had never climbed Stupid's Corner before. Never will again.
|
||||||
5.7 | ★★★ West Pole | 41m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Led "2nd" pitch this time. Don led the roof pitch in great style. I had a heck of a time seconding it. I have gotten weak nursing my finger.

||||||
Sun 18th Jun 2006 - Shawangunks | ||||||
The Trapps High Exposure Buttress Area | ||||||
5.6 5.6 G | ★★★ High Exposure | 70m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Led 1st, Don led 2nd. Will have to come back and lead the second next time.
Almost fell seconding the 2nd pitch. Randomly popped a foot moving around the lip and ended up hanging on one arm. Scared the crap out of me. |
||||||
Sun 18th Jun 2006 - Shawangunks | ||||||
The Trapps The Uberfall | ||||||
5.6 | ★★ Rhododendron | 24m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Backed off this in twilight the night before, Don finished it using a headlamp.
Came back the next day and flew up it. It look very different in full daylight. |
||||||
5.5 5.5 G | ★★★ Horseman | 46m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Led 2nd pitch (we did it as two). Don led 1st. Walked off instead of doing the second rap off pins. Some fools were top roping off these pins the day before!
|
||||||

||||||
5.8 | ★★ Geisha Girl | 29m, 11 | ★★★ Classic | |||
I liked the variety and flow of this climb. Really pushed myself to keep going through the crux.
|
||||||

Main Area Orange Oswald Wall | ||||||
5.9 5.12a | ★★ Board Out of My Mind (Orange Dihedral) | 6 | ★★ Very Good | |||

|
||||||
Sat 20th May 2006 - Summersville Lake | ||||||
Main Area Narcissus Cave | ||||||
5.7 | ★ That Eight | 21m, 5 | ★ Good | |||

|
||||||
Sat 29th Apr 2006 - Mount Lemmon | ||||||
Windy Point North Fin | ||||||
5.7 | ★ Hai Karate | ★★ Very Good | ||||
Hard to tell for the guide book (Squeezing the Lemmon), but I think we did some sort of 5.8 variation. Scary scary move into the crack to the right of the bolt.
|
||||||
5.8 | ★★ Agatha Christie Direct | 27m | ★★ Very Good | |||
I found it easier than the 5.7 in the same area. Very nice, though.
|
||||||
5.7 | ★★ Trickery When Lost | ★★ Very Good | ||||
Did first half of Slippery When Wet direct start, then move right too soon. Finished up the pitch on the top part of some 5.10 just right of Slippery. Clearly not the crux of the 5.10 but fun moves. Recommended, actually.
|
||||||
Sun 23rd Apr 2006 - Seneca | ||||||
