Ascents in Portland

#2go

Bouldery. Did all the moves, but hung repeatedly. I think I could redpoint this pretty quickly if I had it wired.

Nice warm up.

Fun, diverse climbing. Juggy overhang to techy crux pulling above a roof, to easy but thoughtful slab climbing. Stick clipped the high first bolt.

wooo! what a great route! .5 in right under the finger lock protects the ground Crux but the next few moves are pretty tough too, didn't place a piece till that was over but I think placing a piece before moving would be a lot safer. the true Crux for me was the middle which I was able to get through by using the far left horizontal halfway through the top of the finger crack because my fingers are too fat for all dat.

biggest whipper of my life! #1 just below the v taken trying to pull the roof above = kicking your belayer in the back as you pass them touching toe tips on the ground. wowza. keep a bit right at the roof and gain the small right foot ledge then slot a . 3 to stave off ground fall devastation and then the right side pull on the roof will keep you really safe. don't do what I did.

Watched David climb this and really paid attention to his beta. Stick clipped the first bolt.

Fun, athletic route. Stick clipped the first bolt.

Onsight.

Flash.

Second go.

To wet and muddy

First true lead where I placed my own pro.

crazy nasty and long approach, but the route was stellar, pun somewhat intended.

a long walk through stinging nettles!

One nice smear in the middle

1st pitch only (5.10+)

Did first pitch (5.10+) only due to rain. Use yellow or red Alien (1-2cm) to protect crack right below piton and anchors.

Tricky to onsight

Through the crux, fell after. Next Time for sure!

Took at the crux. It will go though.

one hit wonder

Nice climb with a fun lunge and tough bulge.

one hard move

a beautiful roof
