Ascents in United States of America by CElliott having trad-cpr or ascent-date

Hard ring locks. Want to send next season.

I think this one would be possible to redpoint if I boulder the last moves. Amazing fingers splitter. One of the best in the creek.

TR. #0.3 section will not go for my sausage fingers.

This route is mega. Working burns.

Working burns.

My favourite onsight of the trip. Really cool climbing.

A much better route than it looks as seen from the approach trail. Was surprised to insight 5.11c boulder problem. Maybe I am a closet pebble crusher after all.

Should be spelled "Sig Sauer".

P1 only. Bring extendable quickdraws for this pitch. I didn't and had quite the time without them lol!

Not 11b. 11a.

Good size for me. Feels like 11- with my fingers.

TR. Did not send.

Quality route. And burly too! It's official though. 5.11a is easier than 5.9+ in the valley.

Some of the best finger-locking I've ever done! Winter project!

Walked back up for my last burn on the proj b4 wx came in. 1st try I whipped off and hit the wall awkwardly hurting my foot. Didnt think much of it because of adrenaline/send psyche so gave it another burn but was so pumped out of my mind I couldn't even hold the last fingerlocks at the clipping stance and fell off next to the anchor! After some rest I finally got back up and sent the thing, third try! Hobbled back to the car. Metatarsal stress fracture probs. Hardest send & with a broken foot!

Working burns. Very fine finger crack.

Warmup.

Third try. Second hardest redpoint/second hardest crack to date!

One-hung it after two goes. Soft for the grade but I'll take the points if i send. Going back for the redpoint this week.

Good.

Another 5.10 hands crack.

Not bad, but definitely a come down after tromping around the Creek for a bit.

Nails. Seems a little way off. Quite hard to get on two days in a row.

Surely this line is indeed the king of all the cats! Hory shet!

#3s baby!

Dialled! Now just need to send.

Very difficult low section where the crack is just a little thin for my fingers. Project.

TRonsight. Will did quite the job onsighting this route. I was a bit nervous about the protection but it's actually safer than it looks. Something to go back for.

Had to stop to haul some more gear up, but still claiming the onsight since it was a no-hands rest.

Hard finish to get your moneys worth. Welcome to IC 5.11

Great power-stemming, squeeze chimney, finger crack funkness!

Got on this as my first route in the valley. Heinous. Still have the gobies a full week later.

Sandbag at 5.11. The roof move is hard. The rest goes at .11+

Pretty challenging. Ring-locks through a roof, into some power jamming!

Pretty stiff boulder problem into lay-back switcharound. .11c/d maybe?

Very soft for the grade. You can back scum in the off-width to save your shoe rubber. Great crux pulling the roof on finger-locks

Few laps on the thin hands crack after putting the rope up. Reds still seem to be a death size for me.

Figured out the crux sequence. Now to go back with a few more #0.5s. Save the send for October.

Thin finish. Tricky to pull over the bulging finger crack.

Hard. Unrelenting. Bit of everything with some awkward, squeeze, offwidthy huff and puff stuff

Must return to send this burly, grave-digger of a route!

Hard lay-backing! Intimidating!

The hand jams were so good I got my hand stuck!

Nice way to finish the day on solid handjams into the sunset.

Solid handjams.

Conceivable

Both these 5.10s are super-classic

In approach shoes.

Huffed and puffed to the top of this one.

Amazing double cracks. Crux is the first six metres. Maybe my favourite route in the creek so far.
