5.9 Hard Compass Rose - with Kate Pechenkina, Yarrow, Jasson Mixed trad 5
Mock Lead because I was spooked by 'Disco Pants P1'. Top half is sport. Asked for a take. Holds are hidden in the bushes to the right. Kinda hard but could lead with practice.

The Trapps The Uberfall
5.6 Wrist - with Kate Pechenkina Trad 70m
P1 mildly terrifying in the vertical crack. Lucky I still had a blue cam. P2 traverse was the hardest thing I've ever done OMG terrifying. Maybe did it wrong?

 
5.7 The Bridal Path - with Kate Pechenkina Trad
Accidentally went left too early on Horseman. A bit scary and didn't extend enough, so much rope drag.

 
5.5 No Picnic - with Kate Pechenkina Trad 24m
Roof is a bit tricky

Peterskill
5.8 Nutmaster - with Kate Pechenkina, Alex Trad 15m
Normal 8 variation from the right around the arĂȘte clean.

 
5.10b Bent Crank Arm — 3 attempts - with Kate Pechenkina, Alex Trad
One hard move over the roof. No great holds, fell and got pulled up. Tried again after a break and still couldn't. Very tired after these attempts.

 
5.8 Off Limits - with Kate Pechenkina, Alex Trad
Fell. Wet crack too slippery.

 
5.7 First Day - with Kate Pechenkina, Alex Trad
Decent. Some moves. TRonsight.

 
Sat 27th Apr 2024 - Shawangunks
The Trapps Guides' Wall
5.4 ~5.7 Red Pillar - with Kate Pechenkina Trad 60m
Uhhhhhhh. Not very confident in the protection on P1. Good thing it's easy. P2 surprisingly good at the end, hardest thing I climbed today. Started raining at crux.

 
5.7 Middle Earth P1 - with Kate Pechenkina
1 Trad
Trad 79m
Cool climb, not scared at all

5.8 Dunce's Corner - with Kate Pechenkina, Jasson, Yulia, Dan Trad
Fell at the crux. Can kind of hand jam at the crux.

 
5.8 Pop Quiz - with Kate Pechenkina, Jasson, Yulia, Dan Trad
Failed at overhang

The Trapps The Uberfall
5.4 Belly Roll - with Kate Pechenkina, Jasson Trad 46m
lol. Belayed from right of two trees on Dennis ledge? Got the two confused on the topo.

 
5.6 Frog's Head - with Kate Pechenkina, Jasson Trad 52m
A few crux moves. P2 was a bit wet, and I went over the angled overhang instead of through it.

5.9 Nice 5.9 Climb - with Paul Trad 21m
Rested once. Could probably have flashed if it weren't so dark and I could see the feet. 😱

 
5.6 The Brat - with Kate Pechenkina, Fran Trad 21m
Led with some pre-placed gear but backed up some of it and added my own. Not as bad as CC Route. Belayed follower from above.

 
5.7 CC Route - with Kate Pechenkina, Fran Trad 18m
Pretty difficult. Wouldn't want to lead yet. We used the big ring for belay and rappel, but don't do that. Go higher and there is spot for gear anchor. Big cam isn't necessary, but is a good idea.

 
5.7 Laurel — 3 attempts - with Kate Pechenkina, Fran Trad 15m
Such a mess. Couldn't do 2nd move. Stupidly thought I didn't need big cams and left them behind. Had belayer send up two C4s on accessory cord so I could finish it.

 
Sat 10th Feb 2024 - Tower Wall Area
The Tower Wall
5.8 Rachel's Crack - with Kate Pechenkina, Jasson Trad 27m
Cool, went left of big protrusion and there was a little sketchy bit grabbing some crystals

 
5.9 No Rest For The Wicked - with Kate Pechenkina, Jasson Trad 27m
2 parts I got stuck on and 1 that was sketchy chimney beached whale

 
5.8 PG13 Back To The Wall - with Kate Pechenkina, Jasson Trad 18m
Up the arĂȘte of shark tooth and then across to wall, left at white part, but also left around the top which was easy slab

 
5.9 Ogre ArĂȘte - with Kate Pechenkina, Jasson Trad 27m
Direct face start, in the little alcove

5.6 Rhododendron - with Kate Pechenkina Trad 24m
Easier than Double Chin

 
5.5 Double Chin - with Kate Pechenkina Trad 43m
Second roof is tricky/scary.

The Trapps The Uberfall
5.7 Laurel - with Paul, Fran Trad 15m
Tried the first move a few times without a rope, and Fran placed the first cam before bailing, but still counting as a flash. First few moves are very polished slippery glass feet.

5.6 Ursula - with Paul, Fran Trad 55m
Some moves but pretty easy

5.4 Ribs P1 - with Kate Pechenkina
1 Trad

Run out slab

Trad 40m
Just P1 before it got dark. Not sure if on-route. Run out slab. Talked Kate out of leading it.

 
5.7 Gorilla My Dreams - with Kate Pechenkina
1 Trad

Slung a tree in a sort of muddy crack area. There was a tree with a rap ring but I just clipped it and kept going, since Gunks App said to belay from the middle of the wall.

2 Trad

Went off-route left on P2, same as following last time. Route over overhanging blocks was licheny so I thought I was remembering wrong, but it was right. Sad that I didn't do it.

3 Trad

P3 roof is not 5.5; WTF Gunks App? Multiple places with minimal feet, slipped twice, and then not great gear after pulling roof; just stabbing in cams blindly

The Trapps The Uberfall
5.3 Short and Simple - with Kate Pechenkina Trad
Good that we can see and hear each other for a first lead, but not the best places for gear

 
5.2 Cordelette Arete - with Kate Pechenkina Trad 24m
Easy and good enough gear for first lead, but can't hear or see each other, so Kate went off route

Led first two pitches, but then it started raining, so we bailed left to the rap rings. Loose flakes around the top of 2nd pitch.

Dave's Wall
5.10a Roofy Direct - with Kate, Fran, Yarrow Trad 14m
Pretty tough overhang, but clean

5.9 Between the Lions - with Kate, Fran, Yarrow Trad
Kind of hard. The top is just covered in lichen, probably a route under it.

 
Fri 19th May 2023 - Shawangunks
The Trapps The Uberfall
5.5 G Black Fly - with Christian Trad 32m
Pretty easy. Went right up to the tree instead of left as Gunks App shows. Anchor around tree branch was not great; would be bad if it broke. Better to wrap cord multiple times for friction.

 
5.7 Ken's Crack - with Silas, Christian Trad 15m
Difficult but not scary difficult. Silas watching placements. One ugly but solid cam, one mediocre nut.

 
5.4 Bunny - with Silas, Christian Trad 43m
Led with Silas watching. Pretty good, easy. Slung a piton instead of clipping.

 
Sat 6th May 2023 - Shawangunks
The Near Trapps North End
5.6 Grease Gun Groove - with Christian, Kate Trad 35m Classic
P1 only. Very cool. Lots of interesting moves. First move may be the crux, but there are several similar. Hard, but felt confident, never scared.

 
5.6 PG Disneyland - with Christian, Kate Trad 68m Very Good
Climbed third and cleaned. Not too hard. Really great view. Mantled and alpine knee on the first nose part, then pulled a roof above that. Linked pitches.

Peterskill
5.8 Flying Buttman - with Christian Trad
Got to the top but fell a lot. Only crimpy sidepulls available?

 
5.6 Up a Tree - with Christian Trad
A few feet-trusting moves. Christian followed.

5.3 Three Pines - with Yarrow, Kate Trad 61m Classic
Led all pitches. Went over diving board this time, then across face to ledge. 5.5 variation at the top.

Roshambo ledge
5.8 Hard Rock Beats Death - with Zach Mixed trad 4
Fell once. My foot slipped during layback section. Pretty hard.

 
5.7 Updog - with Zach Mixed trad 4
There's a big bush in the middle. Not sure which way to go around it.

 
Mon 31st Oct 2022 - Red Rock
First Pullout Tuna and Chips Wall
5.3 Chips and Salsa - with Kate Trad 64m Very Good
Led to the P1 awkward belay. Two bolts and a piton, with two more bolts and chains a few feet away for the next climb over. Kate followed, we set up TR for next climb over, then I climbed up and set up TR for further right climb, then continued through chimney and then stayed right on the scrambling slab with a mud wasp nest (?) in a big roof. Not sure where the end is, never saw bolts for P2, it just transitions into scrambling around the top. TheCrag topo goes left after chimney instead? Spent a lot of time trying to find the way down. Rapped off The Oasis?

 
Sat 29th Oct 2022 - Red Rock
First Pullout Panty Wall
5.7 Thong - with Zach, Kate, Fran, Yarrow Trad 9m
Not much easier than Butt Floss to the left.

 
5.6 Cover My Buttress - with Zach Trad 12m
Zach started leading and quit. Followed first three pieces and then finished it. Felt a little sketchy in the off-width section, cool pod to sit in. Topped out and set up top rope anchors for the climbs to the right.

 
Sat 17th Sep 2022 - Books Tier
The Good Book
5.6 PG13 Cam's Cool Chimney - with Kate, Yarrow Trad 18m Good
Cool easy route, but wet holds at first, and then severely dusty holds at the end.

Pretty easy

 
Sat 14th Mar 2020 - Joshua Tree National Park
Indian Cove Center Crags Indian Palisades Corridor
5.7 Eyes of Amber Mixed trad 4
Would not want to lead because first bolt is very high and I fell trying to get (to? past?) it, but climb itself was good. First is muscle, then slab, then patina plates.
