Ascents in Twin Ribs

Given how stiff the 5.8s are at this crag, this might be only 5.5 in comparison.

Wrong sequence.

Another sequence mistake.

After about 10 tries, had to pull on a draw at the crux.

I think I want new shoes with sharp edges before my next try. Just couldn't stand on the quarter-sized edge.

Fell twice at the crux this time around!

Solid route. Climb sausages beside it and put an extended draw on the third bolt, unless you really wanna take the fall. Ends on the same anchors as El Nino, so go past the sausages anchors and over the top. Feels short since the moves tend to be quite long.

Good route. Bolted for thrills. Clip the 4th draw from above unless you're really confident in the crimp or pinch below it, because with slack that fall is a bit close.

This went far more smoothly than I think it has ever done for me. Any of the bits that I was worried about just seemed to go well. Very happy with this lead.

Not my best ascent. Took and failed several tries at the start -- overhanging crimps are not my strong suit. Then traversed in from the left (which works pretty well), and climbed the rest. Probably 10b how I climbed it -- still has the upper crux, but avoids the lower (and, for me, harder) one.
