	5.11a	★★★ Pure Palm - with Gareth Llewellin	Sport 24m, 8	★★★ Mega Classic	Matt Schimke
What a climb! Had two shots, and whipped off both times below fourth bolt. Then clean to the top from there. Its a style I have never had the pleasure of climbing before, but am yearning to try again.

Like the creek but steeper and with jugs along the way.
	5.11a	★★★ Pure Palm - with Gareth Llewellin	Sport 24m, 8	★★★ Mega Classic	Gareth Llewellin
You only need four muscles- two rear delts and two calves. No hands rests the whole way!

Super crack area.
	5.10b	★★ Rim Job	Unknown	★ Good	Vanessa Wills
These grades seem quite sandbagged. Not as sustained as badfinger
	5.10b	★★★ Badfinger	Trad 25m	★★★ Classic	Vanessa Wills
Demoralised by getting on this as a warm up. Barely squeaked through on second. Apparently I should stem more
	5.11a	★★★ Pure Palm	Sport 24m, 8	Average	Vanessa Wills
Pathetic at stemming boxes. I suck. Probably classic if you like this type of thing

	5.10a	★★ Gruff - with Jadian	Trad 23m	★★ Very Good	Hard Landin' Brandon
Jams felt a little painful. Still very fun.
	5.10b	★★★ Cornercopia - with Jadian	Mixed trad 24m, 1	★★★ Classic	Hard Landin' Brandon
Fantastic route. I popped in a blue alien above the bolt, decided I didn't want to fall on it, and hung at the bolt until I saw a better foothold and cam placement. Really fun moves all the way up.
	5.10b	★★★ Cornercopia - with Jadian	Mixed trad 24m, 1	★★★ Classic	Hard Landin' Brandon
Had to do it twice.

Fell above the the last bolt and had a sad. For the next few days my palms burned and my hips were stiff from so much stemming. Amazing route.

Very fun with a couple tricky problems to solve along the way. I led with sparsly pre-placed gear. I wish I would have just gone for it. Except maybe the start... That was a little scary.
