Ascents by Mark Stafford

Lots of fun! Beauty day. Nice breeze at the top and some awesome views of the valley between here and Mt Wells.

Fun climb. Reaching for big beauty jugs. A few technical moves in the middle. Perfect handfuls to the top.

Nice to repeat this route after being lazy for the fall. Forgot how fun the crux traverse is. Super fun climb.

Fun mantle. Nice repeat. Beauty day at Cedar.

Awesome climb. Very fun movement on the second half. Jug haul to to the top.

Nice fun route. Long and sustained. Good first climb of the year.

Forgot how fun this line is. Need to spend more time at this wall. Fun movement. A little wet. Stemming in the 'book' makes it easy.

Very fun. Tricky getting through the blank spot. A couple thin holds, a high step, and a reach of faith.

Fun climb! Loved the roof at the top.

So much fun. Great to come back and finally finish this route. Was on my mind for 10 months after moving away. Burly bicep & shoulder moves for the first 8 (ish) bolts, with a delicate footwork traverse crux. Favorite line so far. Must do if you head to Cedar (now John's) Park!

Really really fun line. A little out of my range. Was bested by the crux traverse at the 8th bolt. Coming back for redemption in a couple of days.

Struggle fest with bleeding fingers. 2nd 11b route I've tried. Excited to go back and lead this one now that I know I can do the moves.

Super fine line with great flow. A few powerful moves. First 11b line I've tried. So pumped to go back and try for a lead redpoint.

A little out of my range. Just kinda hanging around on top rope with already tired arms. Fun moves at the start. Excited to go back and try again.

Tricky start. Thin holds and high feet to the top.

Pretty standard Skaha line. High feet. Balancey. Thin holds and somewhat technical. Fun warmup

Fine line. Thin holds and high feet. Good flow. Consistent.

Bit of a fun undercling. Nothing to write home about.

Decent line. Unremarkable. Fun way to finish off the wall.

Stairs to the crux, which was a blank face with a single huge reachy move (key hold popped off), and stairs to the top. Not too interesting.

Kind of trickier than I was expecting. Some thin holds on side pulls. Pretty fun though.

REALLY had fun on this one. Flowed really naturally. Definitely a must do. Solid holds the whole way up.

Arete at the corner. Super easy -- probably 5.8 rather than 5.9?? Huecos at the start were kind of fun, but the ledge that you can stand on 2/3 of the way up, you can pretty well reach the chains. Super short. I guess it was a fun warm up?

Start was fun -- big holds and some long reaches. Super crimpy and thin on the face up top -- but still fun movement. Good.

Jordan led this one, and then I ripped up to the top on TR and had what could have been the finest beer that has ever hit my lips.

I think I got confused right at the start of this route -- perhaps I followed the bolts for "PoI" to the left. Felt harder than 10a and had to dog it for a big. The topo in the book shows the 'line' trending slightly right at the start, but I went straight up -- pretty clean face without much to hold on to.

Not that much fun. Good warmup though.

Super fun move with the undercling -- lots of flow all the way to the top.

I liked this route a lot. Lots of wide reaches -- so it suited my strengths. Smooth flowing route with a couple of fun holds -- thumb catches, and crimps.

Only did the first pitch. Coming back this summer to do all 3

Super fun. Need to work on my mantle tech a bit, it seems.

Had to dog it on the rope a bit. First climb of the season. Coming back next weekend for a redpoint hopefully.

fun climb. different from the slabs at gomer. cool huecos and big holds. good for traversing over to Guinea pig to play around on a hard route

Fun line with fun moves. I don't really remember it too well -- logging it on here half a year later. It was tough getting over the bulge at the beginning. Will do again.

Don't really remember. Was clean though.

Nothing Special.

Struggle fest at the end of the day in my first season. Need to get back for a clean send.
