Ascents of Laurel

Such a mess. Couldn't do 2nd move. Stupidly thought I didn't need big cams and left them behind. Had belayer send up two C4s on accessory cord so I could finish it.

Tried the first move a few times without a rope, and Fran placed the first cam before bailing, but still counting as a flash. First few moves are very polished slippery glass feet.

Exactly as described on the Mountain Project. Really lives up to the hype.

One harder move down low with tricky pro. Then goes easily.

First Gunks lead, in hindsight I should've gotten on something easier to get a feel for the rock and pro but was too stoked. The start is incredibly glassy.

got to clean rick romano's old school nuts/chocks

One rest

Crux moves went smoother, with less hold shopping.

Only the start is harder than Rhododendron. Otherwise, very fun!

Lead this in 2011

short but oh so sweet

(Peter, Sharon & Cilka)

Getting polished.

Too polished for the grade

dont put a cam in the first vertical crack, put your hand in it and put a cam in the next crack otherwise the first crux move becomes 5.11

Tricky Start but awful fun

Just awsome, fun lead:)
