Echo Canyon The Lookout | ||||||
5.11b | ★★★ No Love — 3 attempts | 26m, 11 | ★★ Very Good | |||
First day outside for the season and a bit of a test for my finger. Held up ok which was a good sign. This was a fun route.

Yosemite Valley North Lower Merced Canyon Reed's Pinnacle Area | ||||||
5.10b | ★★★ Stone Groove - with Andrew Banks | 18m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Had to take on the first go. Decided to leave the gear in and see how I went on the pink-point 2nd go around and it felt much easier. Perhaps I should have pulled the gear and went for a proper red point burn.

Sun 24th Sep 2023 - Canmore | ||||||
McGillivary Canyon University Wall | ||||||
5.13a | ★★★ Death by Hoax | ★★★ Classic | ||||
Watched Jonnie and Eugene try this and the moves looked so good I had to try. Managed to do the boulder problem first go which was awesome and then had to do each sequence in isolation. Super cool climb. Will be great to try this properly next season.
|
||||||
5.13a Easy | ★★ Letterbuck | ★★ Very Good | ||||
Just one go after sending Death Stomp and could do all the moves. Finding rest seems like it could be difficult.
|
||||||
5.12b ~5.12a | ★★★ Curb Stomp a Dead Deer in Crocs — 2 attempts | 7 | ★★★ Classic | |||
Sent 2nd go. I think this has been downgraded to 12a now which makes more sense to me than 12b. Missed the flash by getting tunnel vision for the right of the 2 slots. Nice flow when you know the moves then you have to watch the pump up high.

Stanley Headwall | ||||||
5.13a Easy | ★★★ Get yourself connected — 3 attempts | 25m, 10 | ★★★ Classic | |||

Mt Andromache | ||||||
5.8 ~5.7 | ★★ Achilles Spire | 400m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Super fun day out with Bec Perky swinging leads the whole way. Linked pitches 8 & 9 and 11 & 12 and Bec lead the crux which was awesome to see. Stunning views from the top! Stoked to do it in a respectable time of 9 hours car to car with 5 other parties on the route. Great day out with my favourite person

5.12b | ★★★ Colloidal Impact | 22m, 9 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Fun climbing and a powerful boulder. Today wasn't the day to put more energy into this climb however it was great to check it out and stoked to come back to get it done.
|
||||||
5.11b Easy | ★★★ Bloodsport | 35m, 10 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Nice climbing and with the rain today the final few holds were a bit wet but the climbing was easy enough it wasn't a problem. Thought this might be a bit soft at 11b however maybe it was just a good day. Nice route.
|
||||||
5.11c Hard | ★★ Purple People Eater — 2 attempts | 23m, 6 | ★★★ Classic | |||
Good to finally put what had been a kind of nemesis route for me at this crag. Forgot the key slot on the first burn and then went easily on the 2nd go. Always an enjoyable route this one.

5.12b | ★★★ Carnal Prayer Mat — 2 attempts | 30m, 12 | ★★★ Classic | |||
2 quality attempts today. High point getting to the 3rd last clip however mistakenly switched up my beta halfway through the sequence which proved my undoing. Feels pretty close.

Yew! Went down 2nd go today, felt good up to the crux then pushed hard to get onto the slab where tentative climbing found me clipping the chains. Stoked to have the 2nd at this grade go down. 4 tries overall.

5.12c Easy | ★★★ Violence of Truth — 3 attempts | 18m, 7 | ★★★ Classic | |||
Yew! First at the grade. Super fun climbing throughout and the boulder problem is loads of fun. 3 sessions overall. It felt like it could have gone any go after the first session however it took another 5 goes over 2 days. Stoked!

Duckland | ||||||
5.12a | ★★★ Nobody's Girl — 2 attempts | 18m, 7 | ★★★ Classic | |||
Second shot today, 6th attempt overall. Really satisfying. After my first attempt today I figured the most efficient way for me would be to skip the bolt in the middle of the crux as it takes a bit of energy to clip it. The fall potential would be bigger but safe all the same. I knew part of me would want to clip the bolt and that voice did come up however thankfully both Bec and I told myself to push on and I was able to stick the last move of the crux sequence and get the send. A really satisfying moment on a climb worthy of it's popularity.

Mon 5th Jun 2023 - Lake Louise | ||||||
Hillside Wall | ||||||
5.10a | ★★★ Traffic | 45m | ★★ Very Good | |||
