Funny moves in the roof with big hands/fist jams that lead me into some cool layback moves to the anchor.

From small hands to good hands with a funny pod (#4-#5) before the anchor.

Sketchy.

Cool small to good hand jams.

The classic photo route. Couldn't get through the small hands section in the flash go.

Did this one in 2019 with a limited amount of gear. This time we got enough #2s and I was happy to let it. Classic route with two wider pods, that are not so easy to get in, but offer good rests.

Quick tr at the end of the day. One spicy move before you reach the hand jams.

This is such a great climb. Starts with some offwidth, into a sketchy dihedral to a cool overhanging section and ends with a beautiful crack with small hands and a good finger lock. Must do.

Big hands corner. Gets easier at the top.

Cool route that gets gradually harder. Good hands from the start, ends in a thin hands section with limited place for the feet. Feel before the anchor.

The best crack climb I tried in the moab area. Very versatile with changing styles from big hands, hands to a fingery corner section at the top. Needed to rest twice or so.

You do this route because of the last pitch. The rest is a rather dirty approach. Epic scenery on the top pitch with great exposure.

Awesome route on the south face of the rectory. Great moves on finger cracks and good hands. The first pitch gets you pumped directly with an overhanging hand crack. P3 is the crux pitch, with a 2m finger crack. Must do.

Great shady route.

P1: we took the right start. Good hands, short overhang and pumpy layback corner to the first belay. P2: overhanging hands crack, easy afterwards. P3: offwidth section (5.10), fist crack sand offwidth for another 20m. Short chimney to the top.

Quite inhomogeneous route with some tricky moves in the middle. Cimbable if you stay in the crack and don't take the arete on the right.

The best route in Zion!

Pitch 1 starts with 5.11+ strenuous lieack/finger corner, massive warmup pump. Pitch 2, short steep 5.9 to the next ledge. Linked 3-5 in one huge chimney/off-width pitch (coming out of the chimney is the hardest, A0 with sling from above). Pitch 6 starts with a little down-climbing then up to a bolt and past a crimpy 5.11- traverse. Best to ignore the bolted belay and rather build one around the arete at the base of the crack. Steep fingers to hand through the 5.11+ money pitch to a one bolt belay with excellent #1 as back-up. Last long 5.9 pitch to the top.

Clean aid ascent of moonlight buttress (8h from base to top). What a great line! Lead P1, P3,P4, Follow P2,P5, 6+7, 8+9.
