Wow, this was quite the journey. Takes you through a chimney, cruxy overhang, fairly enjoyable crack, gnarly chicken wing, and steeeeeep finish. Forgot to breathe for the last 5 mins. Mega! Took so much out of both of us that we packed up and went for a swim in the New lol

Endless Wall Fantasy Area
	5.8	★★★ Fantasy - with Mark Hoggard	Trad 40m		Keyser
P1 offers mild crack climbing with a couple of hard moves to get situated in the crack. If you are reading this, do yourself a favour and stop at P1 anchor. The top out of P2 is caked with runoff (May 2024) which resulted in a 2hr ascent. The two crimps below the anchor were filled with mud leading to some type 2 fun.

Yosemite Valley Cathedral Rocks Middle Cathedral Rock East Buttress
	5.10c	★★★ East Buttress	Mixed trad 360m, 9		Will West
Does it count as a clean send if you undergrip on mega jugs on a 5.8 then fall 2m onto a ledge standing and your belayer doesn't even notice? Sick Yosemite intro - p6 was the scariest thing I've ever led, 2 pitons and one worthwhile cam placement over 30m of traversing while still not totally trusting the granite smears - the handholds were the equivalent of pulling on a stale arnotts lemon crisp at points. Felt like I went through a footwork class over 10 pitches and it finally started to click by the end. Shit's rough in the valley. Linked 1/2, 3/4, 7-8.5 then ran out of rope.

Boulder Canyon Lower Dream Canyon Plotinus Wall
	5.10d	★★ Golden Summer - with Lizzy Jane	Mixed trad 8	★★ Very Good	Aidan Sarginson
I accidentally thought this was a sports route and didn't bring any trad gear. It turned into ~6m runouts between bolts, so I switched to no-fall mode. Still a good climb
Wed 8th May 2024 - Hanging Rock State Park
Amphitheater
	5.11a	★★★ Quaker State - with Mark Hoggard	Trad 30m	★★★ Classic	Keyser
Fell on the last hard move misreading the move right where the crack ends. Incredible movement on thin crack. Would be nice to come back to it to dial the gear and try on lead!
	5.7	Almost Seven - with Mark Hoggard	Trad 37m		Keyser
Wet start made for a shit time but the crack above made it worth
	5.6	★★ Wailing Wall - with Mark Hoggard	Trad 36m		Keyser
tricky start but super cruisy afterwards. Jugs for days

the block move is cool hey although the slab is polished af on the arete now

Route stays true to its name! Quality slabbing
	5.9	★★ Great White Way - with Mark Hoggard	Trad 82m	★★ Very Good	Keyser
Polished start with no hands meant fell heaps. Can I even call myself a slab climber? After the start, padding up the runnel was truly a unique feeling. No way I'd want to lead the second pitch with one bolt in 30 mt. WHATAPLACE!

Lots of dirt and choss lower down leads to 3 or 4 beautiful pitches of climbing. Then the rock quality turns to shit as you approach the summit. Skip the last 2 pitches and take the easy escape instead.
