thanks to the nice old couple for letting us borrow their stick clip for the first high bolt..
	5.10c	Too Old To Rock And Roll - with Mark Hoggard	Sport 15m, 6		Keyser
almost got it the first time without slapping the arete somehow but couldn't commit. Gave it a few good goes to figure out the boulder problem. Good fun!

	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!

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!

Combined P1,2 in a glorious long easy slabby pitch. Wind down the valley was pleasant. The Linville Trifecta lived up to the expectations.
	5.5	★★ The Mummy - with Mark Hoggard	Trad 110m		Keyser
A few harder moves than Daddy despite the easier grade. Full value nonetheless! lead P3.

	V4	★★★ Dime Crack — 2 attempts - with Caleb Mattson	Boulder 5m	★★★ Mega Classic	Brax Rodgers
Such a fun boulder, too bad we were up against 15 degree weather and an insane wind chill. Pulled on, shoulda flashed, botched the top out cause of the numbness and then put her down with ease 2nd try. Really amazing boulder, if it were a little more aesthetic it would be world class for me!

Loved it. First bolt is high. I climbed about 10' then stick clipped it. Great slab climbing on good granite crimps and edges that requires a little thoughtfulness.

Loved the technical crimps at the bottom. Had more trouble with the campus and layback sections with bad feet. Looking forward to trying it again.
	5.12a	T.K.O. - with William Skea	Sport 12m, 3		Thomas Johnson
Interesting climbing to the first bolt followed by some nice face climbing to a powerful boulder move on sharp crimps guarding the chains. Looking forward to trying this with fresh skin.

	5.9	Opinionated	Sport		Thomas Johnson
We did the 5.10a version which follows a more direct path up the mini dihedral forcing you to stay right of the first 2 bolts. This bottom section required a little more finesse on smaller holds but quickly gave way to fun 5.9 juggy climbing after the second bolt.

	5.11d 5.11d/12a	★★ Butcher of Baghdad (energy czar variation)	Sport 18m, 6	★★ Very Good	Thomas Johnson
Been over a year since I last attempted it and oh did it show. Managed the first 4 bolts with ease but couldn't remember the beta from 4th to 5th nor the 5th bolt clipping beta. The bottom bolder also felt remarkably harder, makes me wonder if some holds flakes off.

	5.11c	★★ desperately seeking juggage	Sport 13m, 3	★★ Very Good	Thomas Johnson
Sequence intensive face climbing on positive holds. Only 3 bolts on 40' of climbing with potential ledge falls makes for some spicey moves down low. Be careful on the move to the second bolt. Third bolt is where the route earns its name. Tricky onsight.
	5.11c	★★ desperately seeking juggage	Sport 13m, 3	★★ Very Good	Thomas Johnson
Learning the sequence and hanging the draws made this burn much easier. Blew right through it.

Fell again after the 5th bolt. The sharpness of the holds makes the condition of your skin a relevant factor. The Butcher will make you bleed.
	5.10d	★ Electra - with Jennifer Brown	Sport 15m, 5	★★ Very Good	Thomas Johnson

Had to take at the delicate Crux move. Feet are extremely challenging. Only did the first pitch.

Led all pitches. Great climb for the grade. Built anchor above first ledge creating an extra pitch to remove risk of an ankle-breaking ledge fall at from the Crux.

	5.10c	★★ Dum Dee Dum Dum - with karsten Delap	Trad 70m	★★ Very Good	Charles Cooper
Run out easy slab to cam placement just below start of hand Crack. A single bolt left of the crack protects the next move. We traversed right using an undercling to reach a high jug just right of the flake, placed a small cam in the eyebrow high up on the flake, then moved back left to pull into the hand crack. Hand jam and get high feet in the crack to somehow reach high enough to pull into the upper portion of the crack (Crux). The rest of the first pitch is just jamming to the top of the crack to reach the anchor. The second pitch is an interesting but very physical offwidth. Pro is sketchy because rock quality back in the crack is of poor quality. Our leader just ran it out. Top pitches are shabby and less interesting than the lower 2 pitches.
	5.8	★★★ The Nose - with karsten Delap	Trad 120m	★★★ Mega Classic	Charles Cooper

	5.8	★★ Comatose - with TJ	Trad 30m	★★★ Mega Classic	Charles Cooper
Place #5 where the crack widens. Exit with a step up on the roof. Protect with small cam in the seam between the crack and the roof. Ther is a perfect placement for a tricam in an eyebrow to the climbers right midway up the run out section before you get to the anchors.
	5.8	★★ Comatose - with TJ	Trad 30m	★★★ Mega Classic	Charles Cooper

	5.9	★★ A Tall Climb To Be Good On - with Tanner Trunell	Trad 26m	★ Good	Thomas Johnson
Tricky layback at the start protected by small cams turns into delicate slabby face climbing protected by 3 bolts. The holds are there but the moves may be opaque. Take your time.
	5.5	★★ Peek-A-Boo (Peek-A-Boo P1) - with Tanner Trunell 1 lead by Thomas Johnson	Trad 120m	★★★ Classic	Thomas Johnson
Would have loved to finish the rest but party size/time constraints limited us to the fun and easy first pitch. This would serve as great first lead for a novice.
	5.7	★ Cornsnake Crack (Cornsnake Crack P1) - with Tanner Trunell 1 lead by Thomas Johnson	Mixed trad 4	Average	Thomas Johnson
Follow 3 bolts on a bulging arete up and over a horizontal break. Continue along the bulging arete till it tops out. The anchors will be on the left adjacent wall. Do avoid traversing left at the horizontal break as you will be forced to climb the last 20+' on delicate holds. Jugs abound if you stay on the arete.

	5.9	★★ Overlooked and Underrated	Sport 15m, 5	★★ Very Good	Thomas Johnson
I really enjoyed this one. Stepping off the boulder is kinda cool and the route provides great face climbing. Be sure to pack a small cam, I used a .2 C4/X4 I believe, if you want to tame the runout near the top.

Great warm up with superb jugs and numerous protection options. Things got a little wandering at the top so I just traversed over easy terrain to the anchors of Overlooked and Underrated (5.9),which are just left of No Experience Necessary, and rapped down.

	5.7	★★ Fruit Loops - with Jennifer Brown	Trad 43m	★ Good	Thomas Johnson
Though I've led this route prior I really wanted to practice my jamming. So i set out to do laps on it. First go was a flash.
	5.7	★★ Fruit Loops - with Jennifer Brown	Trad 43m	★ Good	Thomas Johnson
Second lap was less than stellar. Slipped on wet patch while smearing up to a crimp.

Came back again for a third go and got it clean again. My jamming is getting better.

The layback is a solid workout. Nearly made it past the vertical when my foot slipped.

	5.5	Bee Tree - with Jennifer Brown	Mixed trad 90m, 1	Average	Thomas Johnson
Very little pro. Will need a #4 or bigger cam for the bee hole near the top. One might be able to work in a tricam or small camalot in the back of it as well. Would not attempt when wet. Flake up high is juggy but I would be leary of placing much pro on the right side. There's a bomber .2 X4 placement on the face to the right of it.

Two bomber cams in at the lip then went for it, feet cut but managed to stick with it for a new PB on trad!.
