Southern Region Bald Rock Recreational Preserve (BRRP) The Motherlode | ||||||
5.11b | ★★ Trust in Jesus - with Will Vidler | 15m, 5 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Jeebus, these are not good warmups. I had to try bloody hard not to fall off this. Short but sustained, fingery climbing.

5.12d | ★★★ Gene Wilder - with Will Vidler, Christopher Glastonbury | 23m | ★★★ Mega Classic | |||
3rd shot. Classic Frothy send: riding the darkness with a headlamp, spoogy conditions, and a water streak wetting key footers. Beautiful Buoux pockets to super techo slab, this route was made by Satan just for my pleasure . Despite some sources saying 13a, this is definitely only 12d, even after I broke off half the crux hold.

5.10c | ★★★ Loompa - with Will Vidler, Christopher Glastonbury | 17m, 6 | ★★★ Mega Classic | |||
Even better, even more nails! Beautiful rock, steepness, pockets, body positions.

||||||
5.10a 5.10b | ★★ Oompa - with Will Vidler | 17m, 6 | ★★★ Classic | |||
Ludicrous sandbag, but bloody spectacular even in miserable conditions. Steep pocket and funky body positions.

Southern Region Bald Rock Recreational Preserve (BRRP) The Motherlode | ||||||
5.12a | ★★ Ball Scratcher - with Will Vidler | 12m, 5 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Super short, but fun, committing gritstone slap-arete. Exciting in the wet, with a few moments of real panic.
|
||||||
5.12c | ★★★ Stain - with Will Vidler, Ashlee Hendy, Christopher Glastonbury | 15m, 6 | ★★★ Classic | |||
Struggled in the cold today (numbed out on previous efforts), but managed to stick it out by skipping the final clip entirely.

Southern Region Bald Rock Recreational Preserve (BRRP) The Motherlode | ||||||
5.11a | ★ Injured Reserve - with Will Vidler, Christopher Glastonbury, Ashlee Hendy | 18m, 5 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Basically a dawdle, with a v16 crux... even harder in the cold. Not a recommended warmup.

Southern Region Bald Rock Recreational Preserve (BRRP) The Chocolate Factory Grandpa Joe's Wall | ||||||
5.10a | ★★ Wonkaholic - with Will Vidler | 11m | ★★ Very Good | |||
A tad damp, though fun for a short blunt slabby arete. The crux was soloing up to the first bolt via some tenuous footers.

Southern Region Bald Rock Recreational Preserve (BRRP) The Chocolate Factory Snozzberries Wall | ||||||
5.11d | ★★ Grumpalump - with Will Vidler | 16m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Its a good omen for a trip when you have to project the warmup as your first route in The Gorge... but I got there in the end. Super steep jugs with a brief pocketed bouldery crux.
|
||||||
5.12a | ★★★ Snozzberries - with Will Vidler | 27m | ★★★ Classic | |||
An awesome climb linking rad features... with a healthy dose of committment. Felt more 11c to me.
