5.9 Hard Super Crack - with Mark Hoggard Trad 30m Classic
Keyser
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

5.11d Disturbance — 2 attempts Sport 21m Very Good
Vanessa Wills
Two goes, on lead, then top rope. Very cruxy, major issue getting to first decentpod with the negative 9 cm ape factor my right arm has. Not sure it’s worth further time. Nice line though.

Liked the finishing finger crack. Did not like move to arete.

 
5.10b Burning Calves Trad 23m Very Good
Vanessa Wills
Nice route, found near the start hardest, but probably height related due to steeper feet. The “ crux” was ok.

Vanessa Wills
Overhanging Fist crack- maybe if you have men hands, more like overhanging offwidth start. Didn’t even like the traverse around the corner or the crack to the top that much which were straightforward compared to start.

 
5.9 Happy Hands Trad 21m Average
Vanessa Wills
I wasn’t a fan. Hard to get out of sentry box type bit. The whole thing felt dirty and slippery.

Straight up at the third bolt is solid 12a. Going left makes this climb a hard 11.

P1 height-dependent and the crux of the climb. Hand traverse ledge was wet and sandy, had to french-free. P2 is sweet.

Woo Hoo!!! My first trad lead ever! Couldn't have picked an easier climb. My second gave me a good grade on my placements though and that was the whole point.

 
5.10c Sixteenth Rung Unknown Good
Jason Daschbach
Kind of fun. Very pumpy at the top and again kind of surprising for a 10. If I weren't stupid it would have gone clean and I didn't feel like doing it again since it was 'supposed' to be a warmup

 
5.12b European Vacation Unknown Very Good
Jason Daschbach
Good lord is this thing hard. Fun as hell but quite a wake up as to what hard, powerful 5.12 is.

 
5.10d Pinckney Route Unknown Don't Bother
Jason Daschbach
I'm embarassed to say not only did I TR this but I didn't get it clean!! The roof is quite surprising for a 10.

 
5.11b Unnamed BM#2 Unknown Average
Jason Daschbach
Nothing special. If you do it traverse left at the 1st bolt. Going straight up and left is VERY hard and not 11b.

Ok route. Got a little more pumped than I had hoped at the top. Worth doing, especially as a warmup for Mensa or the other harder lines.

 
5.11c Butta Sport 20m, 5 Good
Jason Daschbach
VERY difficult, bouldery opening moves. In my humble opinion the move felt harder than 11 but what do I know. The line is beautiful and climbs fairly well too.

 
5.12a M.E.N.S.A. Sport 15m Very Good
Jason Daschbach
This thing worked me and I ended up doing the easy left variation. Be aware in the afternoon it gets direct sun.... ugh

 
5.9 You Want It, You Got It Sport 20m Good
Jason Daschbach
Fun moves on big holds. Very mellow line that is a great warmup. Takes a while to dry....
