	5.11d R	★★★ Visions of Impalement	Mixed trad 30m, 11	Trinity Arêtes		Vin Send	Sun 28th May 2023
Long technical consistent climbing on a thrilling arête. High quality grey limestone! If Bigfoot really lives around here, he chose well. These walls don't pale so much in comparison to the majestic walls of Höllental, Liguria or the higher French south-east. Thanks Kiki.
	5.11c	★★ 420 Shadow	Mixed trad 21m, 6	Trinity Arêtes		David Jefferson	Sun 27th May 2018
Very nice line. Sustained but only really hard for one bolt.
	5.11b	★★ Indian Summer	Mixed trad 30m, 12	Trinity Arêtes		David Jefferson	Mon 28th May 2018
Really nice and engaging climbing. Pity about the pro situation at the top.
	5.11a	★★ Goldrush - with Harry B	Sport 27m, 14	Trinity Arêtes	★★ Very Good	Hard Landin' Brandon	Wed 13th Jun 2012
Incredibly desperate send!
	5.11a	★★★ Groove Tube	Sport 30m, 8	Mt. Shasta Area	★★★ Classic	Hard Landin' Brandon	Sun 19th Jul 2015
Excellent. The tube was really fun. Comfortable holds and lots of jugs on weird rock.
	5.10d	★ Lead it to Beaver	Sport 27m, 8	Mt. Shasta Area	★ Good	Hard Landin' Brandon	Sun 19th Jul 2015
Sharp! Interesting crux. Watch for the loose block.
	5.10d	★★ Terra Nulius	Sport	Plumas National Forest	★★ Very Good	Gareth Llewellin	Mon 28th Sep 2015
Balancy lower wall then cool top out on flakes.
	5.10c	★★ Bulldog Direct (The Bolt Route)	Sport 24m, 9	Mt. Shasta Area	★★ Very Good	Hard Landin' Brandon	Sun 17th Feb 2013
Demands some interesting footwork and careful thinking. Good fun! Homemade hangers?
	5.10c	★★★ Ride the Woody	Sport 18m, 6	Redwood Coast	★★★ Classic	Hard Landin' Brandon	Sun 10th May 2015
Too bad we missed the woody while it was there. Really fun route.
	5.9 5.10b	★★ Squirrel Nose	Sport 18m, 5	Mt. Shasta Area	★★ Very Good	Hard Landin' Brandon	Sun 19th Jul 2015
Fun, but top roping the face to the right was the real highlight. Mid 5.11 for a line up the right side of that slab?
	5.10b PG13	★★ Cortizone	Sport 24m	Cortizone Corner	★★ Very Good	bend	Wed 3rd May 2023
Cool route for sure, if you are driving past tots stop and send it. i would do it again. it is pretty sharp but that should be expected so i dont think that fact detracts from the quality of the route. however.... haha if it wasnt sharp it would be super awesome. do it, climb slow, embrace the experience, and enjoy the location. watch for poison oak. best to clean on top rope and rap off.
	5.10a 5.10a PG13	★ Epic In A Bottle - with Harry B	Sport 21m, 6	Trinity Arêtes	Average	Hard Landin' Brandon	Wed 13th Jun 2012
It seemed like every bolt and every jug were hidden!
	5.10a	★★ Humboldt Current	Sport 18m, 5	Redwood Coast	★★★ Classic	Hard Landin' Brandon	Sun 10th May 2015
Super fun. The lattice of pockets had me smiling all the way to the top. The Mermaid felt easier, but maybe I just missed a jug or two.
	5.10a	★★★ Finger Bucket	Sport 27m, 8	Mt. Shasta Area	★★ Very Good	Ryan Sorenson	Mon 22nd Jun 2015
Pretty awesome!
	5.10a	★★★ Stinkwater - with Adam Z	Mixed trad 1	Mt. Shasta Area	★★ Very Good	Ryan Sorenson	Thu 16th Jul 2015
Fun climb
	5.10a	★ Right of TN	Trad	Plumas National Forest	★ Good	Gareth Llewellin	Mon 28th Sep 2015
Steeper (and harder) than it looks
	5.9	★ Shard - with Harry B	Mixed trad 27m, 6	Trinity Arêtes	★ Good	Hard Landin' Brandon	Wed 13th Jun 2012
Good moves up the knife-edged arete. Diminished only by the questionable rock quality. Bring a helmet for the belayer!
	5.9	★★★ Super Crack	Trad	Mt. Shasta Area	★★★ Classic	Hard Landin' Brandon	Mon 18th Feb 2013
Fantastic climbing with good handjams, a couple of interesting mantles, and good pro. A cold wind picked up, the temperature dropped, and a snow storm rolled in that evening. Climbing in February! A rare window of opportunity.
	5.8 5.9	★★ Warmup Route	Trad 27m	Mt. Shasta Area	★★ Very Good	Hard Landin' Brandon	Sat 10th May 2014
with Laura and Joel. Careful footwork and an eye for tricky placements will get you to the chains with a big smile on your face. Great fun.
	5.8 5.9	★★ Clicking Barnacles	Sport 12m, 4	Redwood Coast	★★ Very Good	Hard Landin' Brandon	Sun 10th May 2015
Fun warm up. A bit runout. This would not be a casual affair for someone climbing at their limit.
	5.9	★★ Doesn't Suck - with aysha	Sport 27m, 7	Mt. Shasta Area	★★★ Classic	Ryan Sorenson	Mon 22nd Jun 2015
Sharp and fun
	5.9	Premeditated Leisure - with Aysha	Mixed trad 91m, 5	Mt. Shasta Area	Average	Ryan Sorenson	Fri 7th Aug 2015
Typical historic crag climb - run out, scary old bolts, and crazy unprotectable traverse
	5.9	★★ Abstinence - with Tyler Crough	Sport 14m, 4	Burney Limestone	★ Good	Tyler Crough	Sun 28th Aug 2016
First lead and onsight.
	5.8	★★★ Zig Zag	Trad 15m	Redwood Coast	★★★ Classic	Hard Landin' Brandon	Wed 16th Oct 2013
Incredibly polished rock, but lots of hidden jugs. My lack of wide gear forced me to lead up the left of the two cracks in the middle of the route, which felt at least 5.9. A #5 C4 would have been nice.
	5.8	★ Burt's Bulge	Sport 15m, 4	Mt. Shasta Area	★ Good	Hard Landin' Brandon	Sun 19th Jul 2015
Sharp, but fun enough
	5.6	★★ South Face	Trad 18m	Redwood Coast	★★ Very Good	Hard Landin' Brandon	Wed 16th Oct 2013
with Laura. Better than it looks, with some fun moves. At 5.6, it's still not a gimme. Might be 5.7.
	5.6	★★★ Cosmic Wall	Trad 240m	Mt. Shasta Area	★★★ Mega Classic	Hard Landin' Brandon	Sun 26th Jan 2014
A fantastic day in the mountains with Laura. 5 pitches; led every pitch. Some very long runouts and funky natural protection kept me from focusing too much on the view!
	5.6	★★★ Cosmic Wall - with Will F	Trad 240m	Mt. Shasta Area	★★ Very Good	Benjamin Poirier	Sat 7th Jun 2014
Led first three pitches, Will led the rest One bolt was rusted broken at the third belay.
	5.6	★★★ Cosmic Wall - with Aysha	Trad 240m	Mt. Shasta Area	★★★ Classic	Ryan Sorenson	Wed 20th May 2015
Classic beauty

One of the best climbs I've ever done.
	V0 V0 - 1	★ Heel Hook	Boulder 4m	Leavitt Training Area	★ Good	James R. Kesl	Fri 17th Apr 1998
Fun climb, watch the landing if you bail

Great Climb!
	5.12a	★★★ Riptide	Sport 15m, 4	Redwood Coast		Vin Send	Fri 26th May 2023
Straightforward stacked boulders with the ocean's cool breeze in the back, far from the world. Seemed like it's not climbed here often. Maybe a bit slippery after the crashing waves of high tide. But too sharp and cool to matter. Thanks Kiki. 2nd Go
	5.11d	FA ★★★ Hanuman	Sport 24m, 8	Mt. Shasta Area	★★★ Mega Classic	ian katz	Sun 8th Sep 2002
Amazing!

great climb well protected
	5.11a	★★ Karma-Kazi	Mixed trad 24m, 6	Trinity Arêtes		David Jefferson	Sat 26th May 2018
Was surprised to blow off of this thing on the onsight attempt. Overthought the crux, which is stiff but short.
	5.10d	FA ★ The Seeker	Trad 30m	Mt. Shasta Area	★ Good	ian katz	Sun 8th Sep 2002
scary and steep
	5.10d	FA ★★★ Golden Flow	Mixed trad 46m, 2	Mt. Shasta Area	★★★ Classic	ian katz	Fri 8th Sep 2006
Great climb on beautiful golden rock!

Great fun route!
	5.8	★★ Six Toe Crack	Trad 91m	Mt. Shasta Area	★★★ Classic	Hard Landin' Brandon	Sat 11th Jul 2015
With Gina. Perfect weather. #5 cam was nice to have.
	V5	★★★ Massive Áasiv	Deep water solo 6m	Clear Creek	★★★ Classic	Hard Landin' Brandon	Sat 19th Jul 2014
I assume this was previously unclimbed, but that might be presumptuous. First worked it in 2013. Super fun, mantel felt pretty desperate. Probably V4/V5. Áasiv is the Karuk word for a cave or overhanging rock.
	V4	★★★ Boiling Over	Deep water solo 5m	Clear Creek	★★★ Classic	Hard Landin' Brandon	Sun 3rd Aug 2014
I'm assuming it's not been climbed before. Hope that's not too presumptuous. What a lucky find! The wall looked immediately appealing, but I had reservations. At first I thought, "I'd get swept over the falls" but that's not the case. Then I thought, "The pool won't be deep enough" but I couldn't find the bottom. Then I thought, "The holds up top won't let me confidently top out" but they are terrific jugs. A video of the ascent is here: http://youtu.be/GmXenS1PIQQ
	V4	★★★ Ápsuun Drowns	Deep water solo 6m	Clear Creek	★★★ Classic	Hard Landin' Brandon	Sat 23rd Aug 2014
First ascent? Maybe. Felt hard and took some tries, so I'm calling it V4. Crux is definitely at the bulge two thirds up. There's some really fun movement in here. It's great to climb that high and know that the fall is always clean into deep water.
	5.8	★★ Ducks on Parade (Lame Duck)	Trad 24m	Mt. Shasta Area	★ Good	ian katz	Wed 6th Jun 2007
fun a little loose on top
	5.6	★★★ Cosmic Wall	Trad 240m	Mt. Shasta Area	★★ Very Good	matt christensne	Sun 12th Mar 2006
second time
	5.6	★★★ Cosmic Wall	Trad 240m	Mt. Shasta Area	★★★ Classic	Bill Byrnes	Apr 2003
First time climbing the route, did not lead any pitches.
	Class 4 Class 4 X	★★ SW Scramble	Trad 260m	Mt. Shasta Area	★★ Very Good	Vanessa Wills	Wed 13th Jul 2005
fantastic day and views
	Class 4 X	★★ SW Scramble	Trad 260m	Mt. Shasta Area	★★★ Classic	Hard Landin' Brandon	Sat 11th Jul 2015
With Gina. At the top, Gina led up the staircase, and we descend via slabs to the right. Very satisfying and accessible scramble to the top.
	5.10d	★★★ Sack Lunge (Lower)	Trad 12m	Plumas National Forest	★★★ Classic	Hard Landin' Brandon	Fri 17th Oct 2014
Harder than it looked! Some constrictions kept this from being off-fingers.
	5.10c	★★★ Cajones con Lodo	Mixed trad 24m, 3	Plumas National Forest	★★★ Classic	Hard Landin' Brandon	Fri 17th Oct 2014
For whatever reason, I really enjoyed this one.
	5.9	★★★ River View Crack	Trad 12m	Plumas National Forest	★★★ Classic	Hard Landin' Brandon	Fri 17th Oct 2014
The slick basalt keeps this from being a gimmie. Good fun. If only it were longer.
	5.8	★ The Family Route	Trad 21m	Plumas National Forest	★ Good	Hard Landin' Brandon	Fri 17th Oct 2014
Linked River View Crack to the top half of the Family Route. Tight chimney!
	5.6	★★★ Cosmic Wall	Trad 240m	Mt. Shasta Area	★★★ Mega Classic	Hard Landin' Brandon	Sun 11th May 2014
with Laura and Joel. Just as fun as it was in January. Now with more daylight, more climbers, and many wildflowers and hummingbirds.
	5.6	★★★ Cosmic Wall - with JC, Erin	Trad 240m	Mt. Shasta Area	★★★ Classic	Ryan Sorenson	Fri 3rd Jul 2015
Great day! First lead of all pitches and two followers. Don't try to rap with two ropes, it will get caught when you try to pull the rope
	5.6	★★★ Cosmic Wall	Trad 240m	Mt. Shasta Area	★★★ Classic	Jes C	Sat 4th Jul 2020
So much fun and amazing views.
	5.6	★★★ Cosmic Wall 1 5.5 180ft lead by Bill Byrnes 2 5.6 110ft 3 5.6 200ft lead by Bill Byrnes 4 5.4 140ft	Trad 190m	Mt. Shasta Area	★★★ Classic	Bill Byrnes	2005
Second time climbing the route, shared lead.
	5.8	★★ Six Toe Crack	Trad 91m	Mt. Shasta Area	★★★ Classic	Hard Landin' Brandon	Sun 14th Apr 2013
"I found Jesus!" Climbed with Jadian. Led P2 & P3. Fantastic route. Good jams, got in some big hexes. Started to snow just a little bit when we reached the 3rd anchor!
	V5	★★★ Massive Áasiv	Deep water solo 6m	Clear Creek	★★★ Classic	Hard Landin' Brandon	Sat 9th Aug 2014
Found some different beta for the mantel.
	V5	★★★ Massive Áasiv	Deep water solo 6m	Clear Creek	★★★ Classic	Hard Landin' Brandon	Sat 23rd Aug 2014
I'm still surprised when I get to the top.
	V4	★★★ Let Sleeping Logs Lie	Deep water solo 6m	Clear Creek	★★ Very Good	Hard Landin' Brandon	Sat 9th Aug 2014
The key is to not look down at the log when you're stemming on bad holds.
	V3	★★ Ápsuun Downs	Deep water solo 5m	Clear Creek	★★ Very Good	Hard Landin' Brandon	Sat 19th Jul 2014
Very fun. Garter snake was sunning itself at the base. Probably not a first ascent, but I'll suggest a name for the problem. Ápsuun is Karuk for "snake". Upson Downs is a historic parcel of land near Seiad. So Ápsuun Downs seemed like a good pun. Phonetically it sounds like "ups and downs" or "upside down" which is what you might be if you climb this problem.
	V3	★★★ Ithxúupka	Deep water solo 5m	Clear Creek	★★ Very Good	Hard Landin' Brandon	Sun 18th Aug 2013
Fun. I'm glad the shoes were dry.
	V2 V3	★★ Backflop	Deep water solo 3m	Clear Creek	★★ Very Good	Hard Landin' Brandon	Sun 3rd Aug 2014
Certainly there are easier ways up, but what's the fun in that?
	V3	★★ Ápsuun Overs	Deep water solo 5m	Clear Creek	★★ Very Good	Hard Landin' Brandon	Sun 10th Aug 2014
Did it L -> R then R -> L
	V3	★★★ Get On Up	Deep water solo 6m	Clear Creek	★★ Very Good	Hard Landin' Brandon	Sun 10th Aug 2014
Fun!
	V3	★★★ Ithxúupka	Deep water solo 5m	Clear Creek	★★★ Classic	Hard Landin' Brandon	Sat 23rd Aug 2014
This time with wet shoes. This is a great problem.
	V2	★★ North Slot Crack (North Wall Crack)	Deep water solo 6m	Clear Creek	★★ Very Good	Hard Landin' Brandon	Sat 19th Jul 2014
Very good. Nice jam at the beginning. Not too hard (could be V1) yet still overhanging enough for safe fall. Approach: swim. Descent: jump.
	V2	★★ Wilderness Traverse	Deep water solo 12m	Clear Creek	★ Good	Hard Landin' Brandon	Sun 3rd Aug 2014
Aside from the short crux matching on a small hold, the real challenge was to avoid all the spiders!
	V2	★★ Dipper Left	Deep water solo 5m	Clear Creek	★★ Very Good	Hard Landin' Brandon	Sun 3rd Aug 2014
Very fun. A little intimidating to get around the bulge. The moves might actually be V1 difficulty.
	V2	★★ Strip Steak Flake	Deep water solo 5m	Clear Creek	★★ Very Good	Hard Landin' Brandon	Sun 3rd Aug 2014
It shares its crux down low with the Wilderness Traverse. It's so tempting to continue up past the flake, but I had my reservations about the fall if a hold should happen to break.
	V1	★★ South Slot Traverse Low (South Wall Traverse)	Deep water solo 9m	Clear Creek	★★ Very Good	Hard Landin' Brandon	Sun 18th Aug 2013
Back and forth and back and forth 'til I fell off.
	V1	★★ Dipper Right	Deep water solo 5m	Clear Creek	★ Good	Hard Landin' Brandon	Sun 3rd Aug 2014
After brushing away some dirt, this was funner than I expected. Wet shoes make this feel harder than it is.
	5.10b 5.10b PG13	★★★ Nemesis	Sport 15m	Burney Limestone	★★ Very Good	Ryan Nevius	Sat 23rd Jul 2011
Onsight.
	V0+	★★ South Slot Face	Deep water solo 6m	Clear Creek	★★ Very Good	Hard Landin' Brandon	Sun 10th Aug 2014
Climbed straight up.
	V0+	★★ South Slot Face	Deep water solo 6m	Clear Creek	★★ Very Good	Hard Landin' Brandon	Sun 10th Aug 2014
Founds some fun dynos starting on the two handed jug low and to the right.
	5.9	★★ Plague of Flies	Sport 18m, 6	Redwood Coast		Jason Hardrath	Sat 25th Aug 2018
Fun. Beautiful. Sketch.
	5.9	★★ The Nose	Sport 14m, 4	Burney Limestone	★★ Very Good	Ryan Nevius	Sat 23rd Jul 2011
Fun warmup on the arete. It's worth doing the chimney on TR after leading.
	V0	★★ Fish Out of Water	Deep water solo 5m	Clear Creek	★★ Very Good	Hard Landin' Brandon	Sun 18th Aug 2013
Juggy holds make this a fun and easy problem.
	5.12d	★★★ The Bolt Highway	Sport 26m, 10	Plumas National Forest	★★★ Classic	Hard Landin' Brandon	Fri 17th Oct 2014
DNS. Had to skip two moves (that felt somewhat height dependent), but the rest of the climbing was absolutely fantastic.
	5.12b	★★★ Hawaiian Tropic (Full)	Sport 21m, 7	Plumas National Forest	★★★ Classic	Hard Landin' Brandon	Fri 17th Oct 2014
with rests. Good climbing with a thuggish crux. A key hold is loose which may bump the grade when it finally pulls out.
	5.10d	★★★ Hawaiian Tropic (Lower)	Sport 12m, 4	Plumas National Forest	★★ Very Good	Hard Landin' Brandon	Fri 17th Oct 2014
Very fun climbing up the arête. Highly recommend. If only it were longer, and if only there were a little less swallow dung.
	5.9	★ Pyramid Rock South Face (Unnamed 5.9)	Top rope 9m	Redwood Coast	★ Good	Hard Landin' Brandon	Wed 26th Feb 2014
Better than it looked, with some nice balancing moves. Climbed in the rain.
	5.10a	★★ First Aid - with Aysha	Mixed trad 1	Mt. Shasta Area	★ Good	Ryan Sorenson	Mon 29th Jun 2015
Like it!
