Ascents of Smell the Blood

#3. Kevin attempted, decided he wasn't feeling it after the first bolt. Josh declined. So I got to lead it. Still not a fan. Had to grab the last draw and yell take, & have a pause to suss out the beta (don't go right up the face, jog right then up). I suppose a better climber could just muscle up the delicate slab crux ending, but meh, not for me today.

Kevin and Josh both completed this on TR.

Route #2. Should have read the description more closely, to know it rambles to the left and joins the anchor at Declaration Of Stoke. Made for a wee bit of an adventure as a fellow climber was heading up that one at the same time but graciously let me top out and rap down before him. Wouldn't say I loved the route - not ideal to clean on rappel as there's a ton of swing potential on the way down.
