Ascents in San Juan County

Just plain cool.

Got on my 2nd try on TR. Hard crux in the middle with tips locks and stemming. Very sustained.

Awsome fist crack for me. Soft for the grade.

Gross, need to refine my offwidth

Couldnt turn the roof on fists. Once the aid train starts its hard to stop! Freed a couple sections but really full cred goes to the no.6s that pulled me most of the way. Especially the one i chocked in the 5 section and had to send 3 tr heros up to eventually free it with a brick size rock. Shane tr sent with hallies pink trackies on. A sight. Tony had spare zip ties to replace the wire-trigger attachment shane blew out trying to free it from the wall, so i could sheepishly return the stuck 6 to its rightful owner in the campsite, having severely lowered its life expectancy. Maybe we leave the OWs for the walls where they have to be done rather than electing to do them at crags, at the expense of perfectly good cracks of tasteful sizes.

The first 15 ft is some of the best climbing I've done at the creek, and it stays fun to the top.

found this harder than Jane Fonda but just forone off size move. With Ben

From fingers to fists, a fun climb

After falling at the thin hands start I onisghted to the anchors.

with Ben. Didn't find this too bad. Fairly pupmy

Very hard start, then sustained fingers with a cool crack switch and roof.

Would be great if it wasn't so short

Tough 5.9 warm up =P

when the guide said 'hard for 5.8+' i didn't think i was going to retreat from the warmup. got through the #0.5 section but slipped/fell/spooked at the #1 section

fell even lower on TR

Second GO

Very classic line. My fat fingers meant I never got past first knuckle anywhere. Thankfully the climb is way more about body positioning than burl. The changing corner weirdness is amazing, whilst the roof though easy feels heroic!

Cruiser than expected but would be something else on lead! Flashed the first crux transition and finished the bottom section with 2 sits.

Then a loooong sit to work out the roof. Pretty pooped on that one but it went. Double kneebar. Rad.

Shane hoofed up on lead and set a toppy for all us plebs to go rip the skin off our fingers (on this and digital readout). Would be amazing to climb this well! doesnt feel like you need to be super strong, just a really good creek climber. The roof goes surprisingly easy (i still stuffed it). Despite my floundering, it felt cool being on the same piece of rock as in the stanhope arcteryx vid ive watched a million times.

Pretty happy with the progress on this one ! Went from a desparate dog to feeling pretty solid! May have went if I had a rest day ahah

Super thin start to perfect fingers to hard finish. To get off the ground i was deadpointing to pinky locks.

RP 3rd try on lead after 1.5 tries on TR. Hard finish with bad feet! My hardest at the creek.

I wish we had more time. This thing wil trash your fingers but it feels worth it.

Hoolyyyy where the feet be at?

Tried on TR. Nothin' goin'.

Sharp locks 🤠

Fourth shot

Kicked my ass

Climb into the blackness.
