Ascents in World as various tick types by Steve Foy

Good red river gorge overhanging pump fest. I wouldn't say this was 10c though, book lists it I think more correctly as 10a. Anywho, I went into this climb not looking to onsight, but it just went so smoothly and with good technique that I was able to take advantage of good form and breathing control.

No super obvious crux, important pockets and underclings, gets pumpy. Awesome!

Meh, reminded me of a juggy sport route more than anything else. Not the coolest route of the day, I much preferred the earlier trad lines to this type of climbing.

Hardest part of this route and Moonbeam was trying to find what you wanted to use, as the holds were really hard to see due to the bulgy nature of the rock and the plethora of pockets. Breathing and focus was really good throughout the two routes.

Fun, very small and crimpy, pretty damn sharp too!

Last climb of the day, really took it out of me. Especially the off-width crack section near the top.

Really cool crack system that you shimmy up

Great route! Massive anchor bolt hangers, although they could use a screw link to lower rope friction when pulling it back through post rappell.

Flipping out of the OW section was the crux of the route, but I thought the super bomber hand and finger jams made the route pretty darn cool. Placements were much better, but I still noticed significant mental blocks throughout the climb. Placed blue and gold stoppers at the bottom of the OW section, followed by purple, green, silver, and maybe even gold camalots.

Really weird, long route. It starts with stemming in this really narrow hallway, and then wanders all over the main face. Cool though.

Placed only 3 pieces on the first pitch, as I kept wasting time and effort screwing around with those darn hexes. It turned out that I only placed #2,3,4 camalots. Dan led the second pitch. I should have set up the first pitch belay anchors a little cleaner, utilizing the mimalist method of clipping in with the rope direct to save on slings that Dan could have used on the second pitch.

Juggy, a little balancy for a 5.7. Pretty good warmup to the trip.

Awesome route, but long and commiting as shit for me. Placed almost my entire rack but for nuts and tricams, still was run out though. Really freaked me out like 50-75 feet of C crack traverse. Anchors for the first belay are way the hell up there. Lots of pretty good hexes in camming mode. Not 100% confident in them though, but I wouldn't have been able to climb and protect it otherwise. Was so intent on keeping the #3 camalot on my rack for up top that I never placed it, which was pretty stupid on my part as it would have given me huge piece of mind. Also, instead of rapping off of the tree, I would prefer to rap off the first anchor, would be much safer.

Pretty cool, had to climb through nest of bugs, parts of crack were wet, mossy wetness up top was less than stellar. Only trad lead of the day, pretty much made my day.

Pretty cool, the beta from alex was super helpful.

Awesome climb, beta on the overhang from Paul. Definately a great climb.

Great climb, nice and technical, very consistent as far as difficulty throughout route.

I really tried to focus on my breathing, balance, and observing the rock well. So many choices, that you could really work with what your body was good at.

second time up the route, good red point, only real struggle was the first move

Warmup. Very smooth and focused, really helped to maintain good breathing.

Took just the gear I knew I would need, and now that I knew about that sweet ledge and the bomber placements, I flew right through this sweet finger crack. Favorite climb of the trip.

Way better than Ledger line, the route right next to it. Really cool start if you go direct. Kinda wigged out when alex started talking to the rest of the group about the runout, and my concious mental blocks then became more noticeable. I noticed that I often caught the top of my toe on the rock, which makes me think that I'm dragging my feet and holding back from committing completely to the moves. I've been kinda bothered by some bad news about the new job, so this kinda threw my mental game off.

Borrowed a #1 camalot, and 3 wild country tech friends. Now that I could fire in pro near the bottom w/o messing w/ hexes, this sent pretty easily. Placed two #1's in bottom, then threw in the purple hex at the bottom of the wide section. Followed that up with a .75 and #2 camalots near the top.

I think I led this on Pauls pre-placed gear. Fun climb, right next to Deception.

Hardest climb that I've ever gotten on. I fell up the damn thing, but somebody had to get paul's draws back!
