One silly fall and then it got dark. If you can get a tall person to put long draws on every bolt for you definitely ask them to!!! Clipping the bolts as a shorty was the crux for sure. If its at your limit a red camalot could also be useful to decrease the runout at one point, or a sling. Really good fun though, albeit a bit ledgy.

Finally got around to doing the second pitch of this which I was stoked to onsight in good style. First, though, I did pitch 1 clean on second in approach shoes which was desperate and tenuous and desperate. Wear climbing shoes people!! Pitch 2 definitely lived up to the hype though and was awesome and intimidatingly steep. Sooo much good gear!

Another easy trad classic ticked off the list and one that I thought was very solid at the grade. Harry led a giant first pitch, climbing we are not sure how many actual pitches and finishing on top of a big block. This left the awesome overhanging cruxy section to the top out for me which was just fantastic. Highly recommend!!

Possibly my proudest belay tick! Awesome to see Jason overcome the most profound trad jitters i have ever seen and power to the top of this classic. A highlight was a section of the crack (that he up and down climbed a million times) that ended up with like 9 cams in 5 metres in it or something like that. Gotta love triple #2s, #0.75s and #0.5s!!

Absolutely nails for the grade and pretty engaging. I didnt really place any gear and all of a sudden I was at the chossy steepness feeling hilariously gripped, especially considering some of the other things I've been climbing lately. Thus i whacked in five questionable pieces in a semi-chossy break and ran it out to the top. One pitch.

Classic crack climb and sadly one of my last at the grade on the Bluies trad circuit. Great jamming on mostly hand sized gear that felt like it would still be soft at a grade less. The only down side was some sandy rock. I love trad climbing.

A true, very chalkless onsight today with much flash pump and concern about where the holds were. Good to do this as it's sort've been on the list for quite a while. Really fun climbing with some wild features and amazing rock but alas the best of it is very very easy. I thought it was fairly tricky but there are a number of ledgey rests to break it up. Pitch two looks like a bit of an abomination and not inspiring at all.

Has to be one of the best outings at the grade in the Bluies. An absolute must do. I just followed the bolts with the pink epoxy on them, not sure exactly what it means by going into The End of the Affair at the top but I was very pleased with what I climbed either way. An uber classic sport route!
