V7 | ★★★ High Plains Drifter | Buttermilks | |||
5.13a VI | ★★★ Freerider
The route follows complex crack systems up the southwest face of El Capitan. Essentially it is the Salathe wall with a few variations used (pioneered by Alex Huber) to avoid the numerous 5.13 crux pitches first freed by Paul Piana and Todd Skinner in the mid 80's. The first 10 pitches of this route are often independently completed as a separate route and is known as Freeblast 5.11. The Free Rider technically climbs the 5.13a boulder problem pitch but it is also an option to do the Salathe’s Teflon Corner at 5.12d. *June 3, 2017 - First free solo ascent on El Capitan, and world's hardest multi-pitch free solo by Alex Honnold. Time: 3 hours, 56 minutes

V7 | ★★ Go Granny Ho
Sit start at good undercling/left facing flake. Climb up and left to underclings, make a move out left to some crimps, then a big move right to finish as for Go Granny Go. | 4m | Buttermilks | ||
5.13a | ★★★ Aurora
Aurora is the awesome overhanging line on the far left side of the Great Wall of China. The route starts off with vertical climbing until you get to a small ledge that provides an awkward but decent rest. From the rest blast up the overhanging headwall with good holds. The last few moves are pumpy and a little dynamic. | 30m | Owens River Gorge | ||

5.13a | ★★ Yellow Streak
This is the 5 bolt extension of Tiananmen Square. The climbing is characterized by good holds every 3rd of 4th move with thin crimps and pockets in between. The steepness and length make for a fun a challenging route, 70m rope required. The only thing that detracts from this route is the fact you have to climb a runout slippery 5.10 to get to the good upper headwall. | 35m, 13 | Owens River Gorge | ||

5.13 | ★★ To Infinity and Beyond
Super steep and powerful face climbing after the crux of Sky Shark. Climb Sky Shark to end of the traverse back right , clip the bolt and follow the shallow overhanging corner above. A dead point to a slopey rail leads to an exciting finish. The direct start was added later and bouldered but the entire route was never redpointed.
