Quail Springs Trashcan Rock West Face | |||||||
5.5 ~5.7 | The Trough | ★★★ Classic | |||||
Led all pitches! The downclimb is a trip -- first you friction slab 100 feet and then find a windy path to the right for a steep down hike/climb.

Quail Springs Trashcan Rock West Face | |||||||
5.3 | ★ B-1 | 12m | ★ Good | ||||
My first trad lead 🙂 definitely climb over the gap between two boulders for a lovely constriction for 2 or 3s for anchor and easy walk off
|
|||||||
5.3 | B-2 | 12m | ★★ Very Good | ||||
Beautiful anchor crack that accepts everything from a 2 down to small cams. I used 2 1s and 0.75s but there are definitely lots of options

Very nice problem. Come back for this one. |

Unclear exactly where it starts... I may have made it more difficult by starting further right, almost on the face.

This is a very good problem. Come back to it. I was able to go to the left arete, but no further.
|
|||||||
V0+ | ★★ Smoothy — 8 attempts | 6m | ★★ Very Good | ||||
Tricky, until it worked. Pulling off the ground is the crux.

Quail Springs Vagmarken Hill The Place Sheep Sleep | |||||||
5.12a | ★★ Where Sheep Sleep - with Fabian Michel | 11m, 4 | |||||
quite hard moves. Did not climb to the top since it felt hard and had some issues with my fingers that I did not want to make worse. It has quite some sharp crimps

Quail Springs Vagmarken Hill The Place Sheep Sleep | |||||||
5.12a | ★★ Where Sheep Sleep — 3 attempts - with Klara R | 11m, 4 | ★★ Very Good | ||||
Good climbing, but the rock is still crumbling off in some places. A foothold came off in my second try, so I needed to change my beta (I think it became slightly harder) for a third go.

5.6 | ★ Karpkwitz | 9m | ★ Good | ||||
Lead on Carol's already-placed gear. So, guess that's a pink point.

5.3 | B-3 | ★ Good | |||||
Another not-too-hard JTree lead.
|
|||||||
5.6 | ★ Karpkwitz | 9m | ★★ Very Good | ||||
Went smoothly and quickly on TR -- a fun route with good moves.
|
|||||||
5.3 | B-2 | 12m | ★ Good | ||||
Got to 2nd this one. Went smoothly and easily, because I was following rather than leading, though it was at the end of the day.
Latest guide rates this as 5.4. |
|||||||
5.4 5.3 | ★ B-1 | 12m | ★★ Very Good | ||||
Most recent guide lists this as 5.4, which feels far more reasonable than 5.1. A good climb with decent gear.
|
|||||||
5.8 | ★ Cranny | 8m | ★★ Very Good | ||||
First ever climb at JTree, thought I was getting on a 5.4, found this to be a very stiff 5.4. Took one rest on gear, otherwise good.
Climb takes decent gear, though the boulder problem to the first ledge was a bit tricky with a rack on. |

5.8 | ★ Cranny | 8m | Don't Bother | ||||
Short and easy. Ask your belayer to climb to the ledge or you would have an extremely bad landing zone in case of falling.
